Natural Scorpion Repellent Spray:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of white vinegar
- 1 cup of water
- 10-15 drops of essential oil (choose one or a combination of the following: lavender, cedarwood, peppermint, or citrus oils like lemon or orange)
- 1 teaspoon of dish soap (to help the solution adhere to surfaces)
Instructions:
- In a spray bottle, combine the white vinegar and water.
- Add 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil(s) to the mixture.
- Add the teaspoon of dish soap to the bottle and gently shake to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- Before using, shake the spray bottle again to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
- Spray the solution around entry points to your home, including doors, windows, vents, and any other openings where scorpions might enter.
- Also, spray the solution along baseboards, in corners, and other areas where scorpions may hide or travel.
- Reapply the spray every few days or after rain, as the effectiveness may diminish over time.
Additional Tips:
- Keep your home clean and clutter-free, as scorpions are attracted to dark, cluttered areas where they can hide.
- Seal cracks and crevices in walls, floors, and foundations to prevent scorpions from entering.
- Keep outdoor areas tidy and remove piles of debris, woodpiles, and other potential hiding spots.
- Use yellow or sodium vapor lights outdoors, as they are less attractive to insects and therefore may indirectly reduce scorpion activity around your home.
