Scorpions need water, food and harborage to survive. By eliminating these factors, you can significantly reduce or eliminate scorpions around your home.

Water - eliminate water, especially standing water, around your home. Check sprinklers, air conditioning lines, storm gutters, etc.

Food - scorpions eat other insects such as crickets, roaches, etc. It is critical to eliminate these food sources, either through environmental modification or natural or traditional pest control methods.

Harborage - ensure your windows and doors are sealed to prevent scorpions from entering. Scorpions are nocturnal, and so spend the day sleeping. They prefer cracks and crevices that are dark and protect against predators. Seal cracks and crevices or treat them with natural or traditional pesticides. Eliminate hiding spots like firewood piles, dead leaves and branches, clutter and boxes in garage, etc.

Many scorpions glow fluorescent under UV black lights. Using a black light to search your property for scorpions after dark can also be an effective way to reduce their numbers.

Go to your local pharmacy and pick up an indoor fogger kit. They are primarily for Spiders, roaches, ants, and the like, but I tested it on a scorpion and it works for them too.
