The Life of a Texas Scorpion: What They’re Really Doing in Your Garage

Why Scorpions Love Your Garage
Scorpions in Texas—like the striped bark scorpion—aren’t just random visitors. They’re there because:
🔹 Shelter: Garages offer cool, dark places away from the heat.
🔹 Food: Bugs love garages, and scorpions love bugs.
🔹 Moisture: Leaks, condensation, or damp boxes create perfect scorpion hangouts.

Nighttime Hunters
Scorpions are nocturnal hunters. They wait for the lights to go out and then emerge to feast on crickets, spiders, and roaches—meaning if you’re seeing scorpions, you probably have other pests too.

Why You Shouldn’t Squish and Forget
A scorpion sighting usually means there’s a whole ecosystem of bugs supporting them. Killing one scorpion doesn’t fix the bigger problem.

What Actually Works
✅ Control moisture. Seal leaks and reduce humidity—scorpions hate dry homes.
✅ Clear clutter. Piles of boxes or yard equipment are scorpion condos.
✅ Eliminate food sources. Control bugs like crickets and roaches to cut off their buffet.
✅ Professional exclusion. Homeland Wildlife & Pest Control seals up those hidden cracks and gaps that let scorpions wander in.
