Why Scorpions Appear in Buford
Scorpions seek cool, dark areas during the day and hunt at night. Buford’s hot summers and occasional dry spells may drive them indoors, especially into basements, garages, and crawl spaces. Homes near wooded areas or new construction are more likely to encounter them.
