Scorpion Control in Boerne

Protecting Pets and Children from Unwanted Encounters

In Boerne and the surrounding Hill Country, finding a scorpion inside your home is an unsettling experience that no homeowner wants to face. Whether it is spotting one in a bathtub, shaking one out of a shoe, or seeing that distinct silhouette scurry across the floor at night, the presence of these pests creates immediate concern for the safety of your family and pets. Because scorpions are masters at squeezing through the tiniest cracks to escape the Texas heat, a single sighting often indicates a larger population hiding just out of view.

At Covenant Pest Control, we take scorpion control seriously because we live here too. We know that the rocky terrain of our area is the perfect habitat for the Striped Bark Scorpion, and we understand the stress seeing them can cause. Our family-owned company utilizes over 20 years of experience to implement targeted strategies that keep these stinging pests out of your living space. We are dedicated to protecting your home with the same pet-friendly and effective methods we use to protect our own families.

Signs You Need Professional Scorpion Control

Scorpions are nocturnal and notoriously elusive, which means you might have a problem long before you see one out in the open. They prefer dark, cool environments and will often stay hidden in wall voids or attics during the day, emerging only at night to hunt. Recognizing the subtle indicators of activity is crucial for catching an infestation early and minimizing the risk of a painful sting.

Here are key signs that scorpions may be establishing themselves on your property:

• Sightings at Night: If you spot a scorpion in your home or garage after dark, it is a strong indication that entry points are open and active foraging is happening inside.
• Presence of Food Sources: Scorpions feed on other insects, particularly crickets and roaches. If you are noticing a high number of these "prey" pests, scorpions are likely following the food supply into your home.
• Finding Them in Damp Areas: Scorpions seek moisture. Finding them in sinks, tubs, or near plumbing fixtures often means they are dehydrated and moving deeper into the home for water.
• Shed Exoskeletons: Like other arachnids, scorpions molt as they grow. Finding semitransparent scorpion skins in attics, closets, or garages is a definitive sign of a growing population.

Our Scorpion Control Process

At Covenant Pest Control, our approach to scorpion control is comprehensive, focusing not just on elimination but on long-term prevention. We know that simply spraying the baseboards is rarely enough to stop these resilient pests. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the specific environmental factors—such as rock piles, mulch beds, or unsealed weep holes—that are attracting scorpions to your home.

We tackle the issue from the outside in:

• Perimeter Protection: We create a robust barrier around your home’s foundation using specialized products designed to repel scorpions and break down their resistance.
• Harborage Reduction: We help you identify and reduce hiding spots in your yard, such as woodpiles and debris, pushing the scorpion population away from your structure.
• Entry Point Exclusion: Our team points out vulnerable areas like gaps under doors or around pipe penetrations, advising on the best ways to seal them off.
• Interior Safety: If scorpions have breached your home, we use family-safe treatments in key hiding areas like attics and entryways to eliminate the immediate threat without endangering your loved ones.
