Scorpions
The Southern Unstriped Scorpion, Vaejovis carolinianus, is common throughout north Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and as far north as Kentucky. Scorpions are ambush hunters: their eyesight is poor so they lay in wait for something to walk past.
Identification
-
Scorpions are found in rocky terrain or in moist, wooded habitats
-
Will readily enter homes during the spring and summer months
Threats
-
Scorpions have a sting roughly equivalent to that of a wasp or hornet
-
Some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to the venom
Treatment
-
Scorpions are generally difficult to control
-
Like spiders, scorpions tread lightly and do not readily pick up residual sprays
-
Control usually comes down to habitat modification and sealing entry points into the structure
