What Spray Kills Scorpions

Sprays containing the chemical cyfluthrin are used to control scorpions in both DIY products and commercial applications used by pest control services. Cyfluthrin will also kill mosquitoes, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, earwigs, termites, gnats, and other insects.

What keeps scorpions away from your home?

Seal cracks and crevices, especially around doors and windows where they can gain access to your home. Inspect cabinets, closets, and other dark places on a regular basis. Clear away brush, debris, and woodpiles from the perimeter of your home. Keep firewood about 30 feet away.

What do scorpions hate?

Lavender, cinnamon, peppermint and cedar are all essential oils said to deter scorpions. These can be diluted with a carrier oil (or smaller amounts of water) and sprayed along scorpion problem areas and entry points—such as baseboards, windowsills, doorways, and around the perimeter of your home.
