What Our Clients Say
Scorpions Are Part of Arizona Living
Scorpions are a natural part of living in Arizona, but finding them around your home or business can be unsettling. Arizona is home to numerous scorpion species, including the Arizona bark scorpion, the most medically significant scorpion species in the state.
At American Structural Pest Control AZ, we provide professional scorpion control designed to reduce scorpion activity around your property while addressing the conditions that allow them to enter and remain around your home.
Why Are Scorpions Around My Home?
Scorpions are nocturnal predators that feed on insects, spiders and other small prey. They typically seek shelter during the day and become more active after dark.
They may hide around rocks, landscaping, debris and wood, and can enter homes through small gaps and openings around doors, windows and screens. Moisture and sheltered areas can make a property more attractive to scorpions.
The Arizona Bark Scorpion
The Arizona bark scorpion is a small, slender species and an excellent climber. It can scale walls and other structures and enter homes through surprisingly small openings.
While most scorpion encounters do not result in serious medical complications, the bark scorpion is considered medically significant. Reducing scorpion activity and preventing entry helps lower the risk of unwanted encounters.
Our Scorpion Control Approach
Exterior Treatment
We target scorpion activity around the outside of your home or business and create a protective barrier around the structure.
Interior Treatment
If scorpions are making their way inside, interior treatment may be recommended based on the situation and level of activity.
Ongoing Maintenance
Scorpion activity can continue year-round. Our maintenance services provide continued protection to reduce recurring activity.
Homeowner Prevention
We help you identify conditions around your property that contribute to scorpion activity and give practical recommendations to reduce them.
Scorpion Prevention Tips
Several simple steps can help reduce scorpion activity around your property:
- Keep vegetation trimmed away from the structure
- Reduce piles of rocks, wood, boards, bricks and other clutter near the home
- Repair damaged screens and door sweeps
- Seal gaps and openings around doors, windows and pipes
- Avoid leaving unnecessary sources of water around the property
- Drain and put away outdoor water toys and equipment after use
- Shake out shoes, clothing, towels and items left on the ground
- Keep areas around the home clean and maintained
These steps reduce the places where scorpions can hide and the conditions that encourage them to stay.
What Should I Do If I Find a Scorpion?
If you find a scorpion inside your home, avoid handling it directly. Use caution moving around areas where scorpions have been seen, especially at night when they are most active.
If you are seeing scorpions regularly, professional pest control can help identify the conditions contributing to the activity and build a treatment and prevention plan for your property.
Scorpion Sting Safety
Most scorpion stings do not cause serious medical complications, but Arizona bark scorpion stings can cause more significant symptoms.
If you are stung and concerned about your symptoms, contact the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center at 1-800-222-1222 or seek medical attention.
Severe symptoms require immediate medical attention.
