Professional Scorpion Pest Control

Scorpions are great at hiding where they aren’t welcome, indoors and out. These potentially dangerous arachnids sting or pinch when they feel threatened. If you live in an area with scorpions, it’s not peaceful knowing that scorpions could be lurking nearby. Mosquito Squad Plus^® offers effective scorpion control services at several locations so you can enjoy your yard and home with less fear of an unexpected sting.

Fun Fact About Scorpions 🦂

Scorpions are excellent survivalists! They can live for a year without food, stay underwater for up to two days, and live on one tenth of the oxygen that most insects need to survive. This allows them to dwell in harsh desert conditions.

Common Types of Scorpions

Scorpions are known for their pincers and a curved tail that ends in a venomous stinger. They are nocturnal predators that feed on insects and other small animals. Despite their reputation for being dangerous, most scorpion stings are not severely harmful to humans. Only a few species, like the Arizona bark scorpion, have venom that can cause serious health problems. Many species of scorpions are found in the United States, especially in the southwestern states. Here are some different types of scorpions you may encounter in the US:

Arizona Bark Scorpions

Arizona bark scorpions are known for being the most dangerous scorpions in the US. They are a light tan or yellowish color and have long, thin pincers and a narrow tail. They grow to about 2.5 to 3 inches long. These scorpions are found in southwestern states, especially Arizona, and prefer warm, dry climates.

Northern Scorpions

The northern scorpion is a small scorpion ranging from under 1.5 to a little over 2 inches long. This scorpion has a pale yellow or light brown body and dark markings across its back. The northern scorpion has long pincers and a curved tail. This species is found in northern and western parts of the US and Canada. It is one of the few scorpions that can live in colder climates. It lives in dry, rocky habitats like forests and mountainous areas.

California Common Scorpions

The California common scorpion is a small, light brown to tan scorpion with thin pincers and a narrow tail that’s usually lighter colored than its body. It is similar in size to the small northern scorpion, growing to about 1.5 to 2 inches in length. This species is found in dry, rocky areas throughout California.

Preventing Pests

How to Get Rid of Scorpions and Deter Future Problems

Like most pests, scorpions are attracted to areas that provide food, water, and undisturbed shelter. They seek cool, dark places where they can hide from the sun: rocks, wood piles, and clutter. If you live in an area where scorpions are common, try our tips to keep scorpions away.

How to repel scorpions and prevent a scorpion infestation:

Seal cracks in your home's foundation, walls, and doors
Remove clutter from the perimeter of your home.
Plant lavender, mint, marigolds, and eucalyptus in your yard.
Spray water-diluted mint, lemon, or lavender essential oil around your home’s perimeter.
Reduce outdoor lighting at night, as lights attract insects that scorpions like to feed on.
Get a professional service like Mosquito Squad’s^® Home Shield service that targets areas around your home where scorpions may hide or sneak inside. This service kills most scorpions on contact and deters them for up to 21 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are scorpions nocturnal?

Scorpions are nocturnal and use the cover of darkness to hunt for food while avoiding predators. Their nocturnal behavior also helps them conserve water and stay cool in desert environments. During the day, scorpions hide under rocks and other debris to stay safe and avoid the heat.

What do scorpions eat?

Scorpions are carnivorous predators that eat insects and spiders. Some larger species, like the giant hairy desert scorpion, also hunt small lizards and mice. They use their pincers to grab prey, then inject venom with their stinger to immobilize it.

Are all scorpions poisonous?

All scorpions are venomous, but not all are dangerous to humans and pets. They use their venom to hunt small creatures and defend themselves. While all scorpion stings can cause pain, swelling, or discomfort, only a few species, like the Arizona bark scorpion, have venom strong enough to cause serious symptoms in humans.

Nate Dilworth

"Mosquito Squad stands behind their 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy and is always willing to come and retreat if bites occur between treatments. Blandon has treated our yard several times. He delivered excellent and consistent service. Before treatment, he always checks-in to see if anything has changed since the last treatment and get my input on areas of concern. At the end of each treatment he shares areas he focused on and any insect activity he saw."
