Scorpions can be a disturbing sight. More importantly, they can be a serious concern for you, your family, your pets, and anyone spending time in or around your property. Locally owned and operated since 1978, General Pest Control understands the worry that comes with these nocturnal predators. We serve the Garden City area and beyond with professional, dependable, and environmentally responsible pest control solutions.

Our approach combines careful inspection, targeted treatments, and long-term preventative strategies to help you feel confident and safe in your home or business. We treat each property individually, designing solutions to both immediate scorpion activity and the factors that contribute to recurring infestations. 

By combining experience with green-friendly practices, we provide protection while respecting the surrounding ecosystem. Furthermore, we know how important promptness is when you see scorpions. Emergency service is available, and even for non-urgent situations, we still aim to get to your property on the same day you call.

How We Treat Scorpion Infestations 

We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) specifically customized for scorpions, focusing on their behavior, habitats, and nocturnal activity patterns. 

For example, in Finney County, scorpions often inhabit gardens, woodpiles, and rock piles near homes, while Edwards County’s mix of rural and suburban properties can provide scorpions with natural shelter under outdoor structures and debris. Recognizing these local tendencies allows us to develop a precise and targeted approach.

Our IPM process begins with a thorough inspection to identify common scorpion hideouts, including cracks in your foundations, spaces under your porches, and shaded areas with accumulated debris. 

For outdoor areas, we modify habitats by clearing brush, trimming dense vegetation, and removing wood or rock piles that attract scorpions. Indoor inspections focus on identifying potential entry points such as gaps under your doors, vents, or utility penetrations. 

Low-impact, targeted treatments are applied in strategic areas to reduce activity while minimizing disruption to non-target species.

A critical component of IPM is behavioral understanding. Scorpions are nocturnal hunters, seeking shelter during the day in cool, dark, and damp areas. By mapping activity patterns, we can focus treatments at points of entry and favored resting locations. 

Additionally, we educate our customers about environmental factors that encourage scorpion presence, including excessive moisture near foundations, outdoor lighting that attracts prey insects, and the accumulation of debris.

Garden City’s older residential neighborhoods with rock gardens or native landscaping often experience higher scorpion activity near homes. At the same time, Edwards County properties near agricultural fields may experience seasonal increases following periods of irrigation or rainfall. By incorporating these regional patterns into our IPM strategy, we can reduce scorpion activity while promoting a safer and more comfortable living environment.
