Apart from seeing them or standing on them,how would you know if you had scorpions in your house.?Do they leave droppings like mice or any other such clues?

If you have neighbours who have chickens it is a good idea to let them into your garden occasionally as they kill scorpions and eat them. The chickens are not hurt by scorpions.  :)
