scorpion prevention
Like with most insects, it is nearly impossible to keep scorpions out of your house if your area has them around. However, you can make it a little harder for them to get inside. One way is to look at your door’s weather stripping along the sides and bottom. If you can see light coming in, around or under your door, that should be replaced. A “door sweep” along the bottom is even better at…
Read MoreThe only thing that may be tougher than saying “Summer Scorpion Season” 5 times fast is a scorpion itself. These freaky arachnids (same family as spiders!) are having a moment in Austin. This year we’ve received more calls than usual about scorpions being seen inside Austin-area homes. So what’s going on?

Read MoreScorpions in certain areas of Austin are a big concern.

Even more unfortunately, they can really lay low — meaning for months at a time they will stay…
