The Different Kinds Of Scorpions In Frisco
Many scorpion species are found in Frisco. These scorpions are cataloged by state agencies and entomologists. There is much we could say about these species, but there are only a few simple facts you need to know in order to guard yourself against scorpions in your yard and prevent them from entering your home.
- The most common scorpion pest in Frisco is the striped bark scorpion. It is important to understand that our striped bark scorpions are not the same as the Arizona bark scorpion, a highly venomous scorpion that prefers arid climates. Those scorpions are found in West Texas and throughout Arizona. While striped bark scorpions have venom, it is not nearly as toxic as the venom of an Arizona bark scorpion.
- Bark scorpions climb trees, scale exterior walls, and slip into homes through tiny gaps. They are common indoor pests and are considered the most widespread scorpion species in the United States.
- Most scorpion species hide under rocks in our yards and rarely enter homes. Only the bark scorpion will scale your exterior walls. You can guard against a scorpion sting by wearing gloves while working on a project in your yard, or while managing your landscaping.
- You can guard against scorpion stings by wearing footwear in your yard, taking precautions when lifting objects, and using a black light at night to check for these pests. They glow under black light.
There are several American scorpions, but none are quite like the bark scorpion. You'll have to take greater measures to keep these pests out of your Frisco home or contact Adams Exterminating Company for an ongoing pest control service plan that includes the management of scorpions.
