Citrus is also considered to be another deterrent.[5] You could grow citrus in pots near your entrance areas and use citrus oil cleaners in bathroom and other wet zones of the house. A field of lavender...no scorpions here.

Where do I get Lavender!!!!

Home depot and Lowes usually carry it. Check in the herbs section.

Also, use a black light at night, they glow under it. And check your shoes before you put them on.

You can put sprigs of lavender on the window sills as a deterrant too.

I also believe I've read that the eggs are usually laid throughout the house, to give the young more space and chance of survival. Some of the 'older' species of scorpion have become immune to the qualities of lavender.... Sally x

I think they are very resistant to insecticides... they can be difficult to get rid of. Also like roaches, if you see one, there are more around. You need to find out how they're getting in the house and plug any holes around pipes and such, and any cracks and spaces. Check with Wylie's Mom.

Rhonda, I wouldn't take any notice of me whatsoever - I'm British!!! - and the biggest things we've got are bumble bees!!! Think maybe the exterminator sounds like a plan, though...... Sally x
