Scorpio is famous for being difficult to eradicate. These venomous arachnids are used to living in harsh conditions, so they will be unharmed with insecticides. The surest way to destroy scorpions is to pierce their exoskeleton with a sharp object or resort to the sharp teeth of scorpion-hunting animals to do so for you. Read on to get started right away.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Puncture the outer skeleton of a scorpion

1. 

   Wear protective clothing. Wear jeans or thick fabric pants, leather shoes and thick gloves to prevent the scorpion from somehow getting close enough and attacking you.

2. 

   
   
   Find a sharp object. The state of Arizona, where there are no rare cases of scorpions appearing in bedrooms and backyards, people sell large and long tweezers at home stores. You can use this type of tweezers to pierce the scorpion's outer skeleton, then pick up their bodies and throw them away.If the tool is not sold in your area, a pair of scissors with a long blade, a long knife or a sharp object can be used.

3. 

   
   
   Quickly stabbed a sharp object into the body of the scorpion. Scorpions are usually not very agile, but you should act quickly to make sure you kill them before they escape. If necessary, you can stab it a few more times to make sure it's dead.
   • You can also use another non-sharp object, such as a heavy book, shoes or a hammers, to smash the scorpion instead of stabbing it. However, some scorpions are capable of squeezing themselves down thin like a coin, so they may not die when hit with a hard surface. You must rub the heel of your shoe, stone or other hard object to make sure the scorpion is crushed and dead. When scorpions are motionless or crushed to pieces, they are dead.
     
     

4. 

   
   
   Find scorpions at night. If scorpions become a problem in the home, you can eradicate them at night, the duration of their activity. Buy ultraviolet bulb and install it in flashlight. Light up lights on walls, nooks and crannies, along baseboards and in areas where scorpions usually reside. Their exoskeleton will light up under ultraviolet light.
   • Don't forget to check the exterior walls of the house. Scorpions can also lurk in piles of bricks and other caves.

5. 

   Consider hiring a professional pest control service. If the thought of being in contact with scorpions causes shivering, you can call a professional to take care of it. In some areas, you can hire people to hunt and destroy scorpions.
   • Some pest control companies may suggest using insecticides instead of killing scorpions by hand, but many people find insecticides ineffective in eliminating scorpions.

Part 2 of 3: Try other methods

1. 

   Make a chicken coop. Chickens can eat some insects that are prey to scorpions, so they will make your home less attractive.
   • Note that scorpions are nocturnal, but chickens do the opposite, so chickens don't have many opportunities to directly kill them.

2. 

   Try diatom soil. Diatom soil is a natural material made from crushed fossils. It is white powder that can be sprinkled on entrances, crevices, and cracks both indoors and outdoors. The material is harmless to humans and pets at all, but its tiny edges can pierce the scorpion's exoskeleton when they accidentally crawl through an area covered with diatoms. Diatom soil also works to kill spiders, cockroaches and other insects.

3. 

   Set up sticky traps. Rodent traps or cockroaches are also effective against scorpions. Place the trap in dark corners and near water sources. If you have caught a scorpion, throw it out and set a new one in the same area, as it is likely where other scorpions will also be attracted. advertisement

Part 3 of 3: Prevent scorpions from entering the home

1. 

   Eliminate scorpio's shelter. Scorpions love to live in dark and sheltered places. Check both indoors and outdoors for possible scorpion hiding objects.
   • Be sure to seal boxes and place them on shelves off the ground.
   • Clean up clutter. Keep your clothes and shoes neatly organized and off the floor if possible.
   • Move the piles of wood and rocks out of the yard.

2. 

   Eliminate other pests. Scorpions feed on insects to survive, so if you have a problem with other pests it will be difficult to control scorpio populations. Keeping your home clean, spreading boric acid or diatom soil along the baseboards and using insecticides can all kill harmful pests.

3. 

   Keep your house closed. Scorpions can push their bodies down to crawl through cracks and tiny openings. Inspect the floor for spots where scorpions can enter and seal with sealants. Take a close look at doors, windows, vents, chimneys, and other points where scorpions can enter, making sure they are sealed.

4. 

   Keep the house dry. Scorpions are often attracted to humid places. Make sure your pipes don't leak, and install a ventilator in your bathroom to dry quickly after use. Don't throw wet towels on the floor. advertisement

Advice

• Act quickly when trying to kill a scorpion. Scorpions can move quickly, making it hard to find when they hide underneath or slip through something.
• If you regularly kill scorpions in and around your home, focus on getting rid of insects or pests in your home. Scorpions eat these insects, so they often appear with the insects. Eliminating food sources will help get rid of scorpions in and around the home.
• Scorpions will light up in the dark. You can turn on the ultraviolet light at night or turn off all the lights in the house to look for scorpions.
• Sprinkle diatoms around the house. Diatoms cannot prevent scorpions from entering, but this compound can quickly dehydrate them.
• Use ultraviolet lights to find scorpions outside at night, as they are nocturnal and blend into their surroundings. You can even find young scorpions hiding in the grass with this light. They will glow green under the light.
• Use hand gas throttle to kill the scorpions in the brick wall slots. If the temperature is hot enough, you can destroy even the animals hiding in the wall.
• A simpler tip - pour vinegar on scorpions!
• Scorpio or fake death. Never pick up a scorpion with your bare hands, even if you think you've killed it.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to suck scorpions. The rotational force in the vacuum cleaner compartment almost instantly kills the scorpion. This method is quick, easy and safe.

Warning

• Never catch a scorpion with your bare hands. You may be stung.
• Never step on scorpions with bare feet to crush them. You will be stung by a scorpion.
• The scorpion species Arizona Bark lives in the states of New Mexico and Arizona that pose a danger with just one sting. Don't try to catch an Arizona Bark Scorpion scorpion.
• Avoid using cats to hunt scorpions. Despite its protective coat, a cat can still be stung by a scorpion and will require treatment.
• If you have a severe allergy to scorpion venom, you should bring your epinephrine pen with you. Wear a medical information band to let others know about your allergies in case you lose consciousness or cannot speak after a scorpion sting.
• If you do get injected, stay calm and get medical attention immediately. Do not take sedatives. If you can do it safely, you should capture the scorpion so that the specialist can identify it and determine the appropriate treatment.
