Pest control products are placed in areas that scorpions harbor or hide.  General pest control is good for insects such as spiders, ants, silverfish, crickets, roaches, and other crawling insects. 

Scorpions have a hard, waxy cuticle for an exoskeleton.  In order for the scorpions to get the pest control products underneath the hard outer shell, we use dusts called "desiccants".  "Desiccants" are chalk that have chemical added to them.  The chalk is like small pieces of glass that when walked over, cuts the outer shell of the scorpion.  At this point, the chemical penetrates the inside of the scorpions body, killing it.  Some desiccants are waterproof and last from 8 to 12 months

Another type of product similar to a desiccant is called "Diatomaceous Earth" (D.E.).  D.E. is made of finely ground fossils of fresh water organisms and marine life.  This product cuts up the shell of the crawling pests, and they dehydrate and die usually within 48 hours of contact. 

Entry points - These dusts are put at all entry points to the structure, doorways, electrical lines, plumbing lines, weep holes for stucco walls(wall voids of  2"x4" frame).  Dust is also applied to ground cable & water boxes, and fence pillars.

Cabinet Voids - holes are made underneath cabinets on the "kick plates".  These areas are never sprayed with general pest control products. 

Plumbing Lines - dust is also applied in the structure near the plumbing lines.  A small hole is made and dust is put in the wall void.  Insects need moisture to survive, and scorpions know where to find them. 

General Pest Control - The interior and exterior of the structure are sprayed for general pest control keeping the scorpion food source down.  Fence lines, and cement slabs are sprayed as well with a residual product.  This product lasts for 30 to 60 days. 

14/21 day follow-up - we respray the interior and exterior of the structure allowing for any new insects or scorpions to be infected with the residual chemical.  Weather elements, landscaping irrigation or high traffic volumes may cause residuals to break down faster. 

The structure will be inspected for and conditions conducive to infestation and we will work as a team with the property owner to achieve complete satisfaction.  We guarantee our work as long as you stay on a monthly pest control!!!
