6. Apply Essential Oils: Use essential oils known to deter scorpions, like lavender or cedar oil.
7. Adopt Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Consider an IPM approach, which combines insecticide concentrates with other control methods.
8. Trim Vegetation: Maintain a tidy yard by trimming plants and thinning dense vegetation. 
9. Remove Debris: Remove piles of debris and leaf litter to reduce scorpion hiding places.
10. Secure Water Sources: Ensure proper drainage and fix leaks to eliminate water sources that attract scorpions.
11. Educate Family Members: Teach your family, especially young children, about scorpion stings and the signs of scorpions.
12. Be Cautious with Storage: When sorting through stored items, especially cardboard boxes, be cautious and wear gloves, as scorpions may use these as hiding spots.
