Why Scorpions Are a Problem in Byron
Byron’s climate—warm, humid, and often rainy—creates the ideal environment for scorpions to thrive. They’re especially active in neighborhoods such as New Haven, Preston, Powersville, North Peach Industrial District, and Heritage Estates. Scorpions typically live outdoors under rocks, logs, or yard debris, but during extreme heat or heavy rain, they may enter homes through small cracks, vents, or door gaps. Once inside, they hide in dark, undisturbed areas like basements, closets, or shoes.
