Always check your shoes before you put them on. Shake them or hit them against something to check for hiding scorpions.
Check your bed sheets before bed time. Move beds away from walls to prevent scorpions easy access
Seal your home! Anything a credit card fits through, a Bark Scorpion will fit through. Bark Scorpion is the most venomous scorpion in Arizona. (See photo to left)
