I’d dealt with this same scorpion issue for several years in our Mountains Edge home. It was pretty stressful for my family, hence to me to find a way to deal with the issue, to no long term avail. Ended up being the cost of us humans 1:53 encroaching deeper into the desert. 🤷🏽♂️
Get sticky boards at Home improvement centers---make a chain of them across the bottom of your doors, just on the inside. Catches them all the time. And anything else trying to crawl under your doors. Scorpions can even squeeze under the rubber sweep.....I've been stung a few times. Ice immediately helps.
Go buy a big bag of insect killer granules for around $8 at Home Depot or wherever. Use a spreader to distribute it front/back exterior. You lightly water it in or do it on a rainy day whenever that is. I have not seen bugs since I started doing this. If they're getting in your house you need to check door seals and sweeps. If light comes through, replace it. Seal up your windows.
@@24ecko It isn't that scorpions are here but what kind of scorpion is here. Bark scorpions are quite a bit more poisonous than our local native kind and they were introduced here in the nineties when the developers brought them here from Phoenix palm tree nurseries. Another thing was the wood brought in from Georgia had the Brown Recluse spiders with them and now they are a problem.
Those centipedes here are huge but they really don’t bother you. Not like the huge scorpions, spiders & roaches. Try shining black light on your backyard brick wall at night….you’ll see them all glow it’s nasty!!
Get *Diatomaceous Earth* create a parameter near floorboards, window seals, under cabinets... Wherever you think the Scorpions are at or coming in. *Diatomaceous Earth* will dry out their exoskeletal. It's like shards of glass to them. *BORAX* is good too!
WOW, what a news story! SCORPIONS? In the desert?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I've been stung more times than I can count with my shoes off. And I would say that most of them are not BARK scorpions, but your common BROWN scorpion.
A bunch of rich white people in vegas complaining about scorpions even tho they built their houses on scorpion habitat and have palm trees and wonder why? Lol
Actually it’s not. You can walk for miles in the undeveloped desert at night with a black light and you won’t find one. They’re only in the neighborhoods. They were imported here. There is a native species but you barely see them and these are not them..
Only the native species, which these shown aren't. Those are the really big ones which are actually less venomous. The bark scorpion can't natively survive in the Mohave desert, they need the wetter Sonoran desert. But landscaping irrigation and home plumbing is plenty enough to compensate in developed housing tracts. They get brought in by large landscaping plants from Arizona.
When I was a little kid we moved to Havasu when it was brand new. Next to where we lived they scrapped a large tract of land for more houses and the scorpions invaded our neighborhood.
The pesticides are generally safe once they dry and are only toxic to the small creatures they are intended for. If you don't crack open a jug and drink the stuff you will be fine.
The Bark Scorpions were introduced to Las Vegas when landscapers bought lots of palm trees from Phoenix.
Yep years ago.
Absolutely true. I remember it well.😊
Gee. Scorpions in the desert. Who would have thought?
I know... You'd expect them to show up during Hurricanes...
Where’s the Cactus at 🤔

Lol I moved to Mountains Edge back in 2007 and scorpions were here. This isn’t anything new lol
Everyone should get pest control so that my pest control will work. Why does that statement seem so familiar?🤔

Come here!
Ha ha Mortal Kombat
WrestleMania is in Vegas next April and the last thing I want to worry about is scorpions! 😮
Scorpions in the desert? You dont say? What's next, sharks in the ocean? 🤔

Shit. I live in the southwest and I also get giant desert centipedes along with scorps... gotta learn to live with em.
I live in the SW and don't have any.

How scary.
I’ve lived in centennial hills for 19 years and thankfully never had a scorpion problem.
My wife and I too. We’re on 15 years!
Good for the other residents they don’t care because they know they live i the desert

We need programs to provide education and opportunities to scorpions so they aren't tempted to sting people.
Oh, I hate scorpions.
Scorpion Lives Matter
Where's billy from predator?
I've lived in L.V. and got stung by a baby Barke Scorpion but I happen to be Anti to them. Thank G✝️d❗️
I’ve never seen a scorpion in all my years living here.
Buy a black light and go to your backyard. You’ll find one.
Take a blacklight outside in your yard at night.
@@barbarapisarski4144 I'll have to get a blacklight. I have yet to see my first scorpion also.
😍 glow in the dark
I use cinnamon or lavender oil the best to keep them away I pour some front of my door and back door they hate it
And, I will bet your home smells great! 👍
I AM the deadliest scorpion 🦂 in Vegas! F with me and find out!
Lol what
A bunch of rich white people in vegas complaining about scorpions even tho they built their houses on scorpion habitat and have palm trees and wonder why? Lol
😅 for real though!!! Duh!
Unlike poor POC who love scorpions and let them crawl all over?
Story of the day scorpions
This there Territory. So we must live with the situation.

It's the desert 🏜. What do you think lives in the desert?
Every year this happens this is nothing new especially in the new housing. They built it was over the scorpion homeland in the beginning with

Wonder it has to do with the solar storm
lol don’t make your house from wood
It's a desert.... why are we shocked by this...
Ah! Keep them off me
Yes every year if you didnt expect it shouldnt live here
Next thing you know they will do a story about coyotes encroaching on a neighborhood.. oh wait….
Oh hi, we live here, ok I'm fine 😭
Spray potent neuro toxins throughout the entire neighborhood or put up with a minor inconvenience?
Diatomaceous earth is safe and effective.
Minor? We’ve found them in our laundry and beds… it’s not a minor inconvenience.. these things are nasty and extremely dangerous.
The pesticides are generally safe once they dry and are only toxic to the small creatures they are intended for. If you don't crack open a jug and drink the stuff you will be fine.
Ohhhh GREAT 🦂🤮🦂😩
What's the worries? They don't eat much!
I would rather deal with scorpions than Californians. Shit is ridiculous
I'm born October 28th I'm a Scorpio that's my family leave them alone 💪🏿💥🤣
No green grass and a bunch of scorpions ? In Las Vegas ? How Biblical is that ? I think Gods trying to tell you something .
Hell naww
I’ve seen camel spiders a few years ago behind chaco canyon neighborhood near desert.
The home builders bought lots of lumber from Georgia. And one of the cute little things that came with the lumber were the Violin spiders.
Ancient arachnids
If you put more points into Perception you'd be able to spot them easier
Too much clown make up with that way too colorful dress.
It used to be the Scorpions Neighborhood
They aren't invading.
The builders invaded their space.
Theres a scorpian constellation 😅
I'm on the east side and been stung 3 times in one day nothing new .
Horrifying fact, scorpions can’t “crawl” up walls, they climb.
Build your house on top of their house and what do you think will happen you will have bugs, roaches, scorpions, coyotes
I live In southwest and I never ever seen any were I live
Hey 0..
Natives.
Patrolling the mojave
Bunch of Marys
Didnt know people still live in that wasteland.
Humans invade scorpions Las Vegas valley neighborhoods, scorpions say
Feed those wild opossums! a little plate of dry dog food and no snakes or bugs!
They were there first. People invaded their neighborhood
