Certain plants can act as a natural barrier against scorpions. While not a standalone solution, specific species possess repellent properties against these arachnids.
Biologist Danilo Dantas recommends positioning these plants near entry points like doors, windows, walls, and drains where scorpions commonly enter homes.
Lavender, known for its pleasant aroma, is a natural repellent. Citronella, while effective, requires caution due to its toxicity, especially around children and pets. Rosemary, with its strong scent, is another excellent repellent.
Rosemary is also resistant and adapts well to different climates. Mint, useful in the kitchen, is also effective in repelling scorpions and other insects. Integrating these measures significantly increases home protection against scorpion infestations.
