scorpion control tailored to your home.

Scorpions typically live in warm, dry environments but can also be found in a variety of habitats, including deserts, grasslands, and wooded areas. Around homes, they often hide in dark, sheltered spaces such as under rocks, logs, debris, and within cracks or crevices. Indoors, scorpions may be found in basements, garages, or other quiet areas where they can stay hidden during the day.

To help keep scorpions out of your home, seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and foundations to block entry points. Reduce clutter and remove hiding spots such as woodpiles, rocks, and debris near your home. Keep outdoor lighting to a minimum, as it can attract insects that scorpions feed on. Regular pest control services can also help reduce both scorpions and their food sources.

Most scorpions are not deadly, and their stings are typically comparable to a bee sting, causing pain, swelling, or mild numbness. However, certain species – such as the Arizona bark scorpion – can pose more serious health risks, especially to children, older adults, or individuals with allergies. While severe reactions are rare, medical attention should be sought if symptoms worsen.

A scorpion sting usually appears as a small, raised red bump that may be accompanied by swelling, redness, or warmth around the area.
