Scorpions will enter your house where there are pipes and it is a good idea to make sure that the wall is blocked off around the pipe. They will also drop onto the roof or balcony from overhanging trees.I have only seen two scorpions in twenty years out in Turkey.

If you are bitten by one apply an ice pack and head for the doctor. The sting can cause breathing problems for some people.

Chickens are a good thing to have as a pet to clear the garden if you can.

You`ll get stung by worse than a scorpion out there. :
