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. 🤷🏽♂️
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!!
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.
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.
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..
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!
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.
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
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 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
I’ve lived in centennial hills for 19 years and thankfully never had a scorpion problem.
Get over here
😂😂😂
Come here!
Ha ha Mortal Kombat
Scorpions in the desert? You dont say? What's next, sharks in the ocean? 🤔

Scorpion Lives Matter
Everyone should get pest control so that my pest control will work. Why does that statement seem so familiar?🤔
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.

Where's billy from predator?
I AM the deadliest scorpion 🦂 in Vegas! F with me and find out!
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.
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 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.

Thank you
Horrifying fact, scorpions can’t “crawl” up walls, they climb.
How scary.
I live In southwest and I never ever seen any were I live
This there Territory. So we must live with the situation.

No they are invasive
Didnt know people still live in that wasteland.
We need programs to provide education and opportunities to scorpions so they aren't tempted to sting people.
What's the worries? They don't eat much!
It's a desert.... why are we shocked by this...
Next thing you know they will do a story about coyotes encroaching on a neighborhood.. oh wait….

Good for the other residents they don’t care because they know they live i the desert
Wonder it has to do with the solar storm
Nope... Absolutely not. Couldn't live like that
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.
Minor inconvenience?

Story of the day scorpions
I'm on the east side and been stung 3 times in one day nothing new .
😍 glow in the dark
If you put more points into Perception you'd be able to spot them easier
Oh, I hate scorpions.
Humans invade scorpions Las Vegas valley neighborhoods, scorpions say
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! 👍
Oh hi, we live here, ok I'm fine 😭
