Yes, mulch can attract pests. Spiders, centipedes, and ants are some common pests that are attracted to mulch. You can avoid infestation by laying your bags of mulch in the heat for a few hours or by using an inorganic mulch, as it’s less attractive to pests.

Yes, scorpions can and do climb into beds, but there are ways to deter them. Keep your bedding tucked in and off the ground, and move your bed away from the walls. Place glass jars around the feet of your bed to prevent scorpions from climbing up. Pair this strategy with general prevention by keeping your bedroom free of clutter, adding weatherstripping to windows, and sealing all cracks and crevices where they might get in.

Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems. 

Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.

If you find a tick inside crawling in the house, remember not to just step on it or try to crush it. Ticks have hard bodies and it’s hard to kill them this way. Instead, pick it up with toilet paper and flush it. You can also place it in a sealed bag, or kill it by placing it in alcohol.
