DIY Sticky Traps = A Critical Part Of Scorpion Control:

One of the more common questions we get is: 'can scorpions climb walls?' The answer is yes - at least the Arizona Bark Scorpion can. And once they get into your house they can hide anywhere - your shoes, your bed, the clothes hanging in the closet...

Scorpions, like most critters, tend to move around your house by hugging the walls. That's why sticky traps are a critical part of your scorpion control program. Whether you do it yourself scorpion control or pay for a professional exterminator, USE STICKY TRAPS! Every scorpion you catch is a scorpion that cannot climb walls or into your bed. Can scorpions climb walls? Yes - but not if they are stuck in a glue board.

Can Scorpions Get In Your Bed?

Yes - at least the Arizona Bark Scorpion can. It's the only one of the 40+ known species of scorpions in Arizona that can climb a vertical surface. There are a few things that you can do to make it less likely that you'll be sleeping with bark scorpions:

  • Obviously - if you have a scorpion problem, you need to do regular, on-going pest control.
  • I really believe in a Home Seal or Scorpion Sealing. If it's done right I think it's the best value in pest control and will make a definite difference as far as lowering the number of scorpions inside of your home goes.

Scorpions Love To Hide In Our Beds

So, can scorpions climb into your bed? Yes - but, why do scorpions like beds? They probably wouldn't if they knew we were going to be there, but they don't. They're just looking for a place to hide. Something tight and dark - like under the covers or pillows on our beds. Of course they'll sting you if you lay down on them as a self defense mechanism, but they really don't want any more to do with you than you do with them. Follow the tips above and you'll both sleep better.

This Is How To Keep Scorpions Out Of Your Bed:

  • Night light. If you can position lighting so that it keeps the floors lit it may help reduce the number of scorpions that move around close to your bed at night. They like it dark - don't give it to them.
  • Shake out your bedding real good before getting into bed.
  • Make sure your blankets and sheets don't touch the walls or floors. Scorpions will use them as a bridge to get to your bed.
  • You can put the legs of your bed (or a crib) in glass jars. As long as they are clean, scorpions cannot climb them.
  • If you have a serious scorpion problem or are allergic to scorpion or bee venom, you can prevent scorpions from falling off of the ceiling into your bed. You do this by taking a piece of foam board that's bigger than your bed, attach double sided tape to the outer edges of one side and suspend it a few inches from the ceiling directly above the bed. If a scorpion falls onto it they will get stuck and not be able to fall onto the bed.
