● Lay Scorpion Traps
This isn't always the best option, cause the glue won't kill them, just hold them in place. Also, this method is not best option if you have pets or kids who might come in contact with the scorpion.
● Seal Your Home
This helps cut off any small entrances the scorpion might be using. Because their exoskeleton lets them squeeze in tiny spacing, using caulk on cracks and around windows/doors will help eliminate their entrances.
