    Remove scorpion shelters. Scorpions like to hide in dark places, especially during the day. Get rid of structures in and around your home that could be used as a convenient hiding place by a scorpion. Take the following measures to keep scorpions from hanging around:

    • Store cardboard boxes on shelves instead of the floor.
    • Don't keep clutter around your home or under the beds.
    • Keep your closets and bedrooms neatly organized. Scorpions like to hide in shoes and piles of clothes on the floor.[1]

    Outdoors, trim back bushes and foliage that scorpions can hide under. Get rid of piles of wood, rocks or yard clippings.[2] Trim back vines and other potential hiding spots.

    Seal your home. Scorpions can slip through an opening the size of a credit card. Sealing your home is an important method for keeping them from invading. In order to make sure your home is secure, take the following measures to seal the doors, windows and foundation:

    • Use caulk to fill in holes and cracks in your walls, baseboards or the foundation of your home.
    • Make sure your windows close tightly and the screens are sealed so scorpions can't climb in.

    Get door seals to prevent scorpions from coming in under the doors.


    Sprinkle cinnamon around the house. Ground cinnamon is a natural scorpion repellant. Sprinkle it in dark areas, windowsills and around your baseboards to keep scorpions away. found on: http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Scorpions

    Buy some Diatomaceous Earth and sprinkle all around the house. If you get the food grade, you can use it for lots of things, including killing and preventing fleas and ticks on your pets, and can use it orally for many health conditions.
