This is due to the warm weather that we have been having lately. Scorpions are typically more active when the temperature reaches over 75-80 Degrees. Be aware that Scorpions could be anywhere. If you pick up a dog bowl or pick up some rocks in the yard or open a baseball glove,.. Beware!  It’s that element of surprise that will get you stung. You don’t really want to be surprised by one. If you have small children you can put the legs of the crib inside mason jars to prevent them from climging into your child’s crib since scorpions cannot climb clean glass. Also pull the bed away from the wall. This will help prevent them from climbing the wall and then climbing into bed with you. Make sure that the bed or crib is not underneath of any vents or light fixtures since in some cases scorpions can make there way to the attic and then drop out of these openings. Scorpions only need 1/16th of an inch opening to get through.
