Scorpion Management on Rural Property

Scorpions are solitary wanderers from nearby woods. They don't infest homes — they're lost. Seal entry points (pipes, doors). Remove mulch near foundations. Spray 2-ft band of permethrin/bifenthrin/esfenvalerate on foundation. "Woods" scorpions are smaller than desert species.
