Scorpions come indoors when the weather turns dry or cold, or when land nearby gets cleared. They hide in shoes, closets and the garage.
Found a scorpion in the house? The striped bark scorpion is the common one here, and it comes inside when it turns dry or cold outside, or when building and landscaping nearby stir up its habitat. It hides in shoes, closets, garages and under things. We treat where they shelter and get in, not just the one you spotted.
Scorpions live outside under rocks, wood, mulch and debris. They move indoors when it gets too dry or too cold, or when clearing land and construction next door pushes them out of their usual spots. Once in, they tuck into dark, quiet places, which is why people find them in a shoe, a closet corner, or the garage.
We treat the places they shelter and the gaps they use to get in, around the foundation, doors, garage and the exterior harborage next to the house. Reducing the clutter and debris they hide under near the walls is part of keeping them out. Their sting is painful, so it is worth handling if you have found more than one.
