The main predators of scorpions are carnivorous marsupials, rodents, lizards, nocturnal birds, centipedes and other scorpions.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that scorpions don't attack unless they feel threatened. In fact, they're afraid of humans and will try to avoid us if at all possible.
I figured out the two things scorpions hate most of all, lavender and cedarwood oil! Makes sense that something that is so gross would hate two things that smell so sweet! Cedarwood oil is the most important part, they HATE it, as it will kill them on the spot.
Their predators include centipedes, shrews, owls, bats, hornbills, and coyotes. Some predators, like meerkats and mongooses, are immune or resistant to their venom. A scorpion's first sting is made up of different toxins than later stings.
Boric Acid/Borax. Boric acid and, to a lesser extent, Borax, are natural substances that can be sprayed or placed on scorpions to eventually kill them. The process is rather slow as the chemical dehydrates the scorpions. Since it will take a while, the scorpion will still be able to sting for a time.
If you encounter one indoors, it's best not to attempt to crush it, as many scorpions are resistant to being crushed. The best way to kill a single scorpion is to stab it while wearing long clothing, gloves, and shoes.
Revengeful. It's no surprise that this Scorpio weakness on our list is revengefulness. Scorpios often feel a desire for revenge after they have been wronged. This can be due to their highly passionate and self-protective nature, as well as their tendency toward vengefulness in order to ensure justice is served.
Scorpions are preyed upon by large centipedes, tarantulas, lizards, birds (especially owls), and mammals such as bats, shrews, and grasshopper mice.
Just like any other pest, cats will swat, chase, and potentially even eat a scorpion. It is more likely, however, that your cat will simply scare the scorpion away before it has time to reach it. Even though scorpions will most likely run away,they can still be very dangerous to cats if they manage to sting them.
Here's a fun bark scorpion fact: sometimes, scorpions can 'play possum' or appear dead. Homeowners are then stung when attempting to pick them up. The muscles that administer a sting can actually fire in a dead scorpion, under certain circumstances. If you find a dead scorpion, use a broom and dustpan to pick it up.
They hate hearing a no and often pretend they have not heard it. This aspect, unfortunately, makes many a Scorpios obsess with relationships that are toxic. Their pride does not let them graciously back out or let go. Unless, they are the one's breaking a relationship – it's fine but it better not be them hearing a no!
Scorpions do not like heat and bright light. They lose some of what little water they have to evaporation. So they use their sensitivity to UV rays to determine if it's dim enough for them to crawl out and get to business.

This scorpion is fairly docile, and the venom of its sting only causes a mild, localized reaction in most people. Some say this scorpion is more likely to try to pinch you with its claws than sting you, but it typically won't become aggressive unless it feels threatened.
In addition, most scorpions are more likely to run away from a perceived threat than attack. It's quite possible that cats scare away scorpions before there is an opportunity to get stung.
Scorpions like beds because they often seek shelter of bedding. There should never be anything left hanging from your bed onto the floor. Bark Scorpions love to climb, and can climb clothes, blankets, sheets, etc.
Scorpions Like to be in Darkness
In fact, scorpions are nocturnal. They become active at night in order to better preserve water, manage body temperature and sneak up on their prey. Basements are hot spots for scorpion activity, but scorpions will travel all over the home in search of dark corners.
After a scorpion sting, your cat is likely to experience some discomfort at the site with some possible soreness or discomfort as well as: Localized pain accompanied by licking, limping, or rubbing. Trouble swallowing or breathing. Difficulty urinating or defecating.

According to Hayes, "Scorpios are known to be timid primarily because they are highly reserved individuals." They're not actually detached, though. "Instead, they have a deep understanding of themselves, to a point that they don't want to get exposed," Hayes explains.
