What Attracts Scorpions to My Home? 

Scorpions are drawn to homes for various reasons, including: 

• Water. Scorpions are drawn to moisture, such as standing water, leaky pipes or irrigation systems, and even outdoor pet water bowls. 
• Food. If your property has insects like crickets, roaches, or spiders, scorpions may see them as a reliable food source. 
• Shelter. Scorpions love cool, dark, and sheltered places to hide, such as cracks in the foundation, stacked firewood, or even inside shoes and garages.

If your home has some leaky pipes, high humidity, and poor ventilation, this can create the perfect environment for scorpions. Our scorpion control experts can inspect your home, eliminate food sources, and apply safe treatments while taking preventive measures to keep scorpions from returning.

Common Scorpion Species We Handle

Our region is home to a wide variety of scorpion species, each with its own habits and characteristics. Understanding the different types of scorpions can help you identify and prevent them from invading your home or business.

Some common scorpion species in our local area include: 

Arizona Bark Scorpion

The Arizona bark scorpion is the most common and venomous species in the state. It relies on its deadly stinger to inject a venomous neurotoxin. Bark scorpions prefer dry warmth and are tan or light brown in color with slender bodies. 

Desert Hairy Scorpion

Desert hairy scorpions are one of the largest in Arizona. They have tan or green-yellow coloring and are known for their intimidating size and venomous sting, although they do not often wander indoors and are less aggressive than other species. 

Arizona Striped Tail Scorpion

The stripe-tailed scorpion has a tan or yellow body with distinct dark stripes on its back and tail. This smaller species thrives in arid conditions and prefers to hide in cracks and crevices, making it a tricky one to spot.

Yellow Ground Scorpion

Yellow ground scorpions have small, yellowish-brown bodies and are often found in sandy or rocky areas. This species looks similar to the bark scorpion, but has a distinctive tail that is thicker and more robust.
