Seal Out Scorpions

1. Interior home weatherization

• Blocks cool and warm air drafts that can attract scorpions and other pests.
• Addresses major entry points while also weatherizing the home to help reduce dust and utility bills.
• Typical focus areas include:
• HVAC ducts and returns
• Fresh air fans
• Plumbing penetrations for sinks and toilets
• Window assessments

2. Interior supplemental sealing

• Blocks remaining wall openings that scorpions could route to, beyond what is strictly needed for basic weatherization.
• Focuses on additional scorpion and pest entry points such as:
• Ceiling components (lights, fans, etc.)
• Wall components (outlets, switches, and similar features)
• Wood casings, trim, and baseboards
• Cabinetry
• Stairs and stairwells
• Utility components and other openings as applicable

3. Door weather-strip reinforcement

• Helps deter (but not completely prevent) scorpions and pests from entering at doors.
• Also improves door weatherization.
• Work may include sealing, readjustments, repairs, replacements, and fabrication of weather stripping, door sweeps, thresholds, and corner guards for standard wood, glass, and similar doors.

4. Garage comprehensive sealing

• Reduces garage entry points and harborage areas for scorpions.
• Uses sealing approaches similar to the interior sealing work to limit scorpion access.

5. Exterior comprehensive sealing

• Reduces exterior points of entry and hiding/harborage areas for scorpions.
• Helps repellents and insecticides (used by others, if applicable) work more effectively.
• Typical focus areas include:
• Base areas and lower wall transitions
• Wall fixtures and utility components or boxes
• Trim
• Accessible eaves and other reachable exterior features
• Does not seal weep holes or needed ventilation systems in order to maintain the health of the structure.

6. Repellent samples

• Provides samples of recommended repellents to help protect vulnerable areas.
• Typically includes products such as Scorpion Shield and Scorpion Defense, along with usage recommendations.

7. Home interior/exterior inspection

• Involves a detailed inspection of the home's interior and exterior.
• Identifies what has been sealed, what remains vulnerable, and where additional strategies may be appropriate.

8. Property post analysis

• After sealing is complete, the company evaluates exterior property and landscape factors.
• Considers neighboring properties and subdivision-level factors that may contribute to scorpion pressure.

9. Resident/owner walk-through

• Provides the resident or owner with a guided review of the work performed.
• Helps them understand the location of seals, how to protect them, and what additional strategies may be helpful.
• Clarifies if and when seals may need repair or maintenance over time.

10. Maintenance service

• Offers ongoing maintenance to keep seals functioning as intended over time.
• Addresses:
• Wear and tear from weather conditions
• Changes from home repairs, remodeling, or other services
• Natural expansion and contraction of the home that can affect seals and weather stripping

11. Supportive service and guidance

• Provides ongoing guidance as needed, including:
• Assessments and research
• Strategy development and recommendations
• Referrals
• General support to help residents maintain scorpion control results over the long term.

These components together form a comprehensive scorpion sealing and prevention system designed to deliver long-term, measurable results.

Seal Out Scorpions specializes in scorpion sealing and prevention services designed to keep scorpions out of the home by addressing the building envelope and surrounding environment.

Service philosophy

• Focuses on keeping scorpions out, not just killing them.
• Treats scorpions differently from general pests; many common pest control strategies are not effective for scorpions.
• Emphasizes sealing from the inside out so scorpions cannot route to new areas of the home.
• Uses Barrier Integrity Science™ and Building Performance Sealing™ to integrate building performance, pest biology, airflow physics, material chemistry, and human factors.
• Does not operate as an exterminating company; no insecticides are applied by Seal Out Scorpions as part of the sealing service.

Safety and impact on the home

• The sealing process is non-poisonous for residents and pets.
• Work is performed so as not to negatively affect the health of the home or its systems.
• Required ventilation components (such as those that expel fumes and gases) and weep holes needed for moisture escape are not sealed; the home must be able to breathe.
• HVAC and other critical systems are not compromised by sealing work.

Property types served for scorpion sealing

Seal Out Scorpions provides scorpion sealing services for a variety of property types, including:

• Condominiums
• Subdivision homes
• Custom homes

Desert Home Sealing (discount service)

Seal Out Scorpions also offers a Desert Home Sealing Service as a more affordable option similar to services offered by pest control and other sealing companies.

• Intended primarily for general pests that are easier to control.
• Uses the same high-quality workmanship as the full Scorpion Sealing Service but is not as comprehensive.
• Not recommended by the company as a primary solution when scorpions are a significant concern.
• Seal Out Scorpions frequently performs reseals on homes that were previously sealed by standard sealing or pest control companies when a more comprehensive approach is needed.

• They are not a complete solution on their own and do not replace proper sealing and other recommended strategies.
