How can you deter scorpions from entering your campsite?

I don't think there is anyway to stop scorpions, I guess the best thing to do is contact the campground office and ask them, they should be able to give you some tips. HAVE FUN!

I doubt it is a Brown recluse. They kill other spiders. They kill eachother. Thats why they are reclusive.\n\n Just get a man to spray your house. You'll be ok.\n\nBacon & Salt?  hmmmmm. I have used  Potato peels.\n\nThey work good.\n\n\n.

Once they've found food, they'll keep coming back. Make sure they can't get into your trash, etc. and they might go away but it's doubtful. You either have to trap them and move them somewhere else or kill them (I hate to say that). We've had the same issue at our lake property. They come and raid our bird feeders at night. The full time residents down there eventually kill them instead of trapping and moving them.

I know this is a sensative topic.. the hunters in my family, bring some sort of jar/can with a lid... just pee in the jar, close it and so be it.. no smell to attract or repel the deer.

Try using visual aids.  A burning bush might get their attention!

Spider Control Web Sites:\n\nhttp://www.montana.edu/wwwpb/pubs/mt9210.html\nhttp://www.focusedxterm.com/pest-control-tips.html\nhttp://www.arachnology.be/pages/Pestcontrol.html\nhttp://www.planetnatural.com/site/xdpy/kb/spider-control.html\nhttp://ces.ca.uky.edu/lyon/anr/Brown%20Recluse%20Spider%20Control.htm\nhttp://www.camelspiders.net/spider-control.htm\nhttp://www.uky.edu/Ag/Entomology/entfacts/struct/ef623.htm\n\nA good place to start is by identifying the type of spider that is biting you. Then try to locate specific information on the habits of that spider (like where it nests, preferred environment, et cetera). Then follow management tips from pest control experts. Best thing to do is call a reputable pest control company in your area.\n\nGood luck.

I don't know of any maps either, but it is tied to the type of environment.  They are not as common in northern Arizona and places in the mountains of southern and central Arizona.\n\nI live in Phoenix, within walking distance of South Mountain Park (which you would think would mean lots of scorpions), but I have never seen one in or around my house and neither have most of my neighbors.  I lived in a number of places in Tucson and never had problems.  \n\nOn the other hand, I know several friends that live in more central areas of Phoenix that usually find a few each month.  Being near a place that used to be fields or vacant lots and is now being torn up or developed will cause problems for a while as all the creepy-crawlies move out.  \n\nAnother thing that can make a big difference is having lots of vines, piles of wood, underbrush, etc around for them to hide in.  If there are a lot of insects around in general (especially crickets) than there are probably scorpions around too.

They are arachnids.\n\nhttp://www.desertusa.com/oct96/du_scorpion.html\n\n"The venom of this scorpion can cause severe pain and swelling at the site of the sting, numbness, frothing at the mouth, respiratory difficulties, muscle twitching, and convulsions. The sting is more dangerous to infants, small children and the elderly. Death is rare, especially in more recent times."

Most raptors, hawks, kites, kestrals, and what-not are protected, I think. Best you bury the carcass and don't mention it again.

My mom and sister like to put hedgeapples in their attics and basements. I guess the spiders steer clear, esp. of those rooms. The spiders won't completely leave, but the number of spiders is supposed to decrease.

Oh they just slither under doors.  \n\nYou can't keep them away. Just ignore them.

HERE IN THE SOUTH CRICKETS AND CATALPA WORMS(WHEN IN SEASON) ARE THE BEST BAIT FOR BRIM. BUT YOU CAN'T RULE OUT RED WORMS OR TINY JIGS EITHER

An old camping trick was to chew on the end of a couple of matches.  No kidding, I know y'all think I'm pulling your leg, but seriously, the kitchen matches with the white dot on the tip of the red.  Something about the sulphur in the matches makes you secrete something that repels mosquitos.  Personally, I've never tried it, but I have a friend that swears by it.

You can get some cottonballs and coat them with peppermint oil (in the cooking section with spices) and put them in places where rodents come in and in the places they would hide. It will run them away without toxins and no stinky dead rats to deal with later!

Spider do not senses like insects, so insect repellent is no good. You just have to see and avoid. What you can do is to carry a stick in front of you so that you get rid of any potential webs that may be across your path. And spider along the way. This is good against spider on web on trees. Ground spider will be harder to see and avoid. Wear boots or high cut shoes.\nBut you should relax, they are more scared of you than you of them! You are so much larger in size! Anyway most spiders are harmless to humans except for a couple, so don't get too worried about them.
