Scorpion Control Services in Kenya
Scorpions are among the most feared pests in Kenya, not just because of their intimidating appearance but also due to their painful and potentially dangerous stings. While most species found in Kenya are not lethal, some can cause severe health complications, particularly for children, the elderly, and those with allergic reactions. Scorpions are nocturnal predators that prefer dark, hidden areas, making them difficult to detect until it’s too late. Whether you live in rural or urban areas, scorpion infestations can pose serious risks to your safety and comfort.
At Rowland Africa, we provide comprehensive scorpion control solutions designed to protect your home, business, and property from these dangerous arachnids. Our service combines thorough inspection, effective treatment, and preventive measures to ensure scorpions are eliminated and do not return. We use safe, eco-friendly methods that keep you and your environment protected while ensuring long-term results.
Causes of Scorpion Infestations
Understanding what attracts scorpions to your property is the first step in preventing them. Common causes include:
- Shelter availability – Scorpions hide in cracks, crevices, piles of firewood, stored boxes, and under debris.
- Food sources – They feed on insects such as cockroaches, crickets, and ants. If your property has other pest infestations, scorpions may follow.
- Moisture – Areas with dampness or standing water attract insects, which in turn attract scorpions.
- Warm climate – Kenya’s warm temperatures create ideal breeding conditions for scorpions.
- Proximity to natural habitats – Properties near bushes, forests, or rocky areas are more prone to infestations.
Signs You May Have a Scorpion Problem
Scorpions are elusive, but you can detect their presence through these indicators:
- Spotting live scorpions at night or early morning.
- Unexplained insect bites or stings in your household.
- Increased sightings of other insects that serve as scorpion prey.
- Shed exoskeletons or molted skins in hidden corners.
- Rustling or scratching noises from storage areas at night.
If you notice these signs, it’s important to act quickly, as scorpions reproduce in large numbers and can establish colonies in hidden parts of your property.
Scorpion Inspection Process
Our professional inspection ensures we locate all hiding spots and assess the level of infestation. This process includes:
- Examining indoor and outdoor areas, especially storage rooms, basements, and garages.
- Checking for cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings.
- Identifying potential food sources and other pest activity.
- Evaluating environmental conditions that encourage scorpion presence.
Once we gather all the necessary information, we prepare a targeted treatment plan for your property.
Scorpion Control Treatment
We use a two-phase approach that ensures both immediate elimination and long-term prevention:
Chemical Treatment
- Application of professional-grade insecticides around scorpion hiding places.
- Residual sprays to create protective barriers along walls, floors, and entry points.
- Safe indoor treatments in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and storage spaces.
Non-Chemical Measures
- Physical removal of scorpions found during inspection.
- Trapping in key locations where chemical treatment may not be suitable.
- Sealing cracks and gaps to prevent re-entry.
- Eliminating clutter and debris where scorpions can hide.
All our methods comply with Kenya’s pest control safety standards, ensuring the safety of your family, pets, and the environment.
Preventing Future Scorpion Infestations
After treatment, we provide recommendations and ongoing monitoring to keep scorpions away:
- Regular property inspections to detect early signs of return.
- Reducing insect populations to remove scorpion food sources.
- Fixing leaks and improving drainage to reduce moisture.
- Keeping yards and storage areas clean and clutter-free.
- Sealing entry points such as door gaps, vents, and utility openings.
