scorpions


Question
what is a organic way to keep scorpions from your house and from getting inside? I had thought that lavender or rosemary, I am moving to AZ soon and am concerned about this bug. is there any truth to these herbs helping at all, I know there are sprays and things but I like to stay organic when ever possible.
Thank you,  Ann

Answer
The only two instances of herbs used in insect control that I am quite sure of, are that fresh neem leaves prevent weevils in stored grain and that citronella oil on the body repels mosquitoes.
