Where do scorpions hide during the day?
Cool, dark crevices — under furniture, inside shoes and closets, behind baseboards, and in cluttered garages and storage rooms.
Does the app work even when I'm not home?
Yes. You don't need to be home to receive alerts about scorpions in your home. As long as your phone has a signal, you'll receive alerts.
What is the largest scorpion species?
The giant forest scorpion (Heterometrus swammerdami) from India can reach up to 9 inches (23 cm) in length, making it the world's largest.
Why do scorpions come into homes?
They follow water and prey insects. Once inside, they hide in cool, dark spaces and emerge at night to hunt — typically near water sources.
What kind of smell do scorpions hate?
Cedar, lavender, and peppermint essential oils repel scorpions in lab tests, but the effect fades quickly outdoors — typically within 1–2 weeks.
