Seal It Up: How Small Cracks Let Scorpions Into Your Home

You know that unsettling moment when you flick on the light and—bam!—there’s a scorpion chilling on your floor like it pays rent? Yeah… no thanks. In Avondale, that creepy surprise isn’t all that rare. These desert pests are masters at slipping inside your home, usually through tiny, unnoticed openings.

But here’s the kicker—most people don’t even realize how many scorpion entry points they actually have. Let’s break it down, seal it up, and show you how Green Machine Pest Control can kick those pests out for good.

Cracks, Gaps, and Open Doors (Literally)

Scorpions are sneaky. They don’t need a big ol’ hole to get in. In fact, they can flatten their bodies and slip through scorpion entry points as small as a credit card edge. That’s not an exaggeration—just ask anyone who’s ever found one in the laundry room at midnight.

Let’s talk about the usual suspects:

• Foundation cracks – That teeny-tiny gap along the base of your home? Prime real estate for scorpions.
• Gaps under doors – Unless you’ve got a tight weather seal, those little invaders are cruising right through.
• Window and vent screens – Torn or loose screens are practically an open invitation.
• Garage corners – Scorpions love garages. They’re cool, dark, and full of clutter—perfect for hiding.

And don’t get me started on plumbing and electrical entry points. Pipes and wires running into your home create small but mighty access zones for scorpions.

Why They Come In (And Why They Stick Around)

Look, scorpions aren’t trying to ruin your life. They’re just trying to survive—and your home is a five-star resort compared to the scorching Arizona desert. Cool air, water, and food (hello, other bugs) draw them in like moths to a flame.

Here’s where it gets worse: if you’re seeing one, there’s probably more. Scorpions don’t just wander in randomly. They follow scent trails and settle in cozy spots where they won’t be bothered. 

And guess what? If your home has easy access via multiple scorpion entry points, it’s pretty much guaranteed they’ll come back.

The DIY Trap (And Why It’s Not Enough)

Caulking every crack and sealing every vent sounds like a solid weekend project, right? Except… it’s not. Most homeowners miss a bunch of hidden scorpion entry points—especially in hard-to-reach places like attics, crawl spaces, and wall voids.

Sure, bug sprays and sticky traps might make you feel like you’re winning the battle, but scorpions are stubborn. You’re not just trying to kick them out—you’re trying to make sure they never come back. That’s where most DIY efforts fall short.
