Of all the pests out there, including the usual vermin like mice, bees, insects, cockroaches, and raccoons, scorpions may be the most dangerous. The armored arachnid can grow to be several inches long and delivers a vicious sting full of venom. Bungle an encounter with one, and the consequences can be very painful. Here Havasu Pest Control, based in Lake Havasu City, AZ, explains the best policies for safe scorpion removal

Here’s what you should do if you spot a scorpion:

  • scorpion removalLeave It Alone if Possible: Contrary to their reputation as an aggressive pest, scorpions will only strike if they're harassed or threatened. If you encounter one in the wild, simply avoid it. 
  • If Absolutely Necessary, Kill It: If you find a scorpion in your home, and are unable to return it to the outdoors, it may be necessary to kill it. In this case, put on protective clothing and find a long, sharp object. Stab the scorpion from a safe distance. Do not try to flatten or stomp on it, as scorpions can flatten themselves, allowing them to survive such attacks. 
  • Call a Professional Exterminator: If you find a scorpion in your home, and you feel that the situation is too dangerous for you to handle on your own, simply consult a local professional. Pest control services will have the expertise to smoothly handle the scorpion removal without the risk of injury.
