Scorpion Pest Control Services

Scorpions are a well-known and feared pest in Arizona, particularly the Arizona bark scorpion, which holds the title of the most venomous scorpion species in North America. These nocturnal predators are attracted to cool, dark, and moist environments, often finding their way into homes through small cracks, vents, or under doors in search of water or shelter from the desert heat. Common hiding spots for the Arizona bark scorpion include shoes, closets, garages, baseboards, and even sinks or bathtubs.

Scorpion infestations are typically caused by poor sealing around the home, cluttered outdoor areas (like woodpiles, rocks, or dense vegetation), and an abundance of insect prey. To enhance scorpion prevention, homeowners should seal all cracks and gaps in walls and foundations, install tight-fitting door sweeps, remove outdoor debris, and reduce insect populations that serve as their food source.

Pest control services play a crucial role in scorpion prevention by conducting thorough inspections, identifying entry points, applying specialized treatments around the perimeter and known hiding spots, and using black lights to detect scorpions at night. In high-risk areas, regular treatments and environmental modifications—such as sealing the home (a process often referred to as 'scorpion sealing')—are often necessary for long-term control.
