If scorpions are extremely common in or around your home, it is suggested that you use a pest control company to treat the premises. A pest control company will have the equipment, chemicals, and know-how to treat the area properly. . Habits, Habitats, and Food Scorpions are dry-land creatures and are not normally found in extremely damp areas. However, they do require some moisture and are often attracted to the damp areas around plumbing, condensers, and the evaporators of air conditiong units. Scorpions usually hide during the day and become active at night when they feed and mate.
Most species hide under stones, logs, boards, rubbish, and the loose bark of fallen trees and posts.
When scorpions enter buildings, it is often because their outdoor habitat has been disrupted in some way. Houses in new developments may experience an influx of scorpions because construction work has destroyed their natural habitats. Scorpions may also enter older buildings in search of prey or shelter. Late spring and early summer rains often cause scorpions to seek dryer habitats. Cracks and crevices around the outside of a structure can allow scorpions easy access into buildings.
