Scorpion Control & Removal Melbourne

Australian scorpions can be found in warm habitats of gardens and forests, making their homes under logs, rocks, and shallow burrows in earth banks.

They are mostly nocturnal creatures and can survive for extended periods without food. However, they generally feed mostly on other insects and arachnids, occasionally killing small lizards and mammals as well.

Problems associated with Scorpions

They normally do not attack humans but they will sting defensively. Scorpions are rarely seen in large numbers, especially around residential areas, but if they are, you may need to call up Pestline for scorpion control to help you get rid of the pest.

These arachnids are well geared to being undetected due to their instant blend with their natural habitat, hiding under stones, and different plants, it would prove to be very hard to get rid of them on your own which is why many homeowners seek professional scorpion removal services.

Risks of scorpion infestation

Scorpions tend to be larger and more venomous in the northern parts of Australia. However, the sporadic spotting of a scorpion in and around your area should not be seen as a major concern to your health. You should however take the necessary measures to remove these animals from your property if seen in large numbers. The venom from a scorpion is painful and can make those stung feel sick for a couple of days. First aid for a sting is to apply a cold pack to the sting site and seek medical immediately. Usual symptoms from a bite include headaches, nausea, redness/swelling on the bite mark and other symptoms of a similar nature.
