Discovering there are insects or other critters active in your home is extremely unpleasant, and it’s important to have a plan in place in the event it happens. Because of their intimidating appearance, scorpions, in particular, can inspire fear, so having guidance from a pest control company should quell some of the anxiety. Based in Las Vegas, NV, Surefire Pest Control has become known as the home pest control specialist on whom residents rely. Whether you need scorpion removal or bed bug treatment, this exterminator will drive away the unwanted invaders. 

If you notice one or more scorpions in your house, you have a few options for handling the situation. No matter what you decide, though, make sure you note the location you spotted the scorpion, so it is easier to discover the access points it is using. For residents who are not squeamish about scorpions, you can pursue the creature yourself. Since they glow in the dark, it’s best to hunt them with a UV light. Once you spot the scorpion, spray it with Raid from a distance or use heavy boots to crush it. Even if you are comfortable enough to try to remove the scorpions yourself, it’s still wise to call the pest control experts so they can locate more of the population as well as proof your home against future incursions. 

For residents who would prefer not to seek out the scorpion on their own, the first point of action would be to call Surefire Pest Control who will come over and remove the creature immediately. In the time before the pros arrive, there are some practical tasks you can take on. Since scorpions feed on small bugs, it’s important to clean up any crumbs on the floors and counters as well as wash the dishes - food scraps will attract the insects which will attract the scorpions. Furthermore, scorpions like wet spaces, so it is worth checking around your home for any sources of standing water or unexpected moisture and removing them if possible. 

The next time you see a scorpion or other pest, don’t hesitate to reach out to Surefire Pest Control for help. You can contact the pest control team by calling (702) 423-7463. For more information about the company, visit their website.
