Scorpions are venomous pests that belong to the category Arachnida alongside spiders,ticks, and mites. There are over 1,000 species of scorpions found worldwide. In our area, two of the common species are the brown bark scorpion and the desert hairy scorpion. Scorpions have a segmented body and an extended segment tail that curls up over their body. At the top of their tail may be a curved stinger wont to inject venom into their prey to subdue them after catching them with their large pincers. Scorpions are excellent hunters, although they believe touch and vibrations to hunt because, despite having many eyes, these arachnids have poor vision.
Brown bark scorpions are small with adults growing only about 2 ½ - 3 inches in length. Their body consists of brownish-yellow or tan color and their tails are thinner than other scorpion species.
These scorpions are considered a larger species as to the bark scorpion with adults growing between 5 to 7 inches long. They have a yellow-colored body with darker colored markings on their backs. Both their bodies and their tails are covered in small brown hairs.
Scorpions can deliver excruciating stings and therefore the venom most scorpions produce is as potent as bee or wasp venom. In children and other people with compromised immune systems, their venom could trigger a severe allergy that needs immediate medical attention. it's also critical to know that their venom is potent enough that their stings are often fatal to smaller pets. If scorpions live on your property, call knowledgeable immediately to get rid of them safely.
Scorpions may take up residence in any yard that gives them suitable sources of shelter and food and water. Scorpions prey on a good sort of prey, including insects, spiders, other scorpions, mice, and even small lizards. Properties with high populations of their preferred food sources will presumably have problems with scorpions.Scorpions can live without food for several weeks or maybe months, but water may be another story as scorpions need high levels of moisture to survive. If you've got areas of standing water, leaky hoses, dripping pipes, and damp spaces around your yard, your house is more likely to draw in scorpions.
Scorpions are nocturnal hunters and conceal during the day in dark, cool, quiet places. On the outside of your home, the scorpions hide behind the bark of the trees and other things like the rocks, mulch,woodpiles, and fallen trees in the garden. Moving inside through the spaces under doors, torn windows, cracks within the foundation, or openings of exterior walls, scorpions just hide in places that mimic their outdoor environments like basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms (sinks and tubs), and laundry rooms. it's also important to understand that scorpions tend to travel in groups. If you discover a scorpion in your home or yard, know that there are likely many more lurking around just out of sight.
