Phoenix's Most Trusted Scorpion Control Service
Bark scorpions are Arizona's most dangerous household pest. Our specialized scorpion treatments eliminate them from your home and keep them out — guaranteed.
Why Bark Scorpions Are Phoenix's Most Dangerous Pest
The Arizona bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus) is the most venomous scorpion in North America. Their sting causes intense pain, numbness, and in rare cases — especially with children and elderly — can require emergency medical attention.
What makes bark scorpions uniquely dangerous is their behavior. Unlike most scorpion species, bark scorpions are excellent climbers. They scale block walls, stucco exteriors, and even ceilings. They squeeze through gaps as thin as a credit card. They're attracted to moisture, so bathrooms and kitchens are common indoor hotspots. And they're communal — where you find one, there are almost certainly more nearby.
Phoenix's urban sprawl continues pushing into the Sonoran Desert, destroying bark scorpion habitat and forcing them into homes. New construction neighborhoods in areas like Surprise, Buckeye, Queen Creek, and North Phoenix see the heaviest scorpion pressure, but older neighborhoods in Tempe, Mesa, and Central Phoenix deal with established populations too.
The bottom line: if you live in the Phoenix metro, scorpions are not a matter of "if" — they're a matter of "when." Professional scorpion control is the only reliable solution.
Our Proven Scorpion Elimination Process
Our scorpion control program goes far beyond spraying the baseboards. We target scorpions at every stage — from the prey insects they eat, to the entry points they use, to the harborage areas where they nest.
The foundation of our approach is a professional-grade residual barrier treatment applied to the exterior and interior of your home. This creates a lethal zone that kills scorpions on contact for weeks after application. Combined with targeted crack-and-crevice treatments in high-risk areas, our protocol dramatically reduces scorpion populations from the very first service.
Exterior Barrier Treatment
Professional-grade residual products applied to the foundation, block walls, garage, eaves, and entry points — creating a protective kill zone around your entire home.
Interior Crack & Crevice
Targeted treatment of baseboards, door frames, plumbing penetrations, and other scorpion entry points inside your home. Applied only where needed.
Prey Insect Elimination
Scorpions enter your home looking for food — primarily crickets and roaches. By eliminating prey insects, we remove the scorpion's reason to come inside.
Entry Point Identification
Our technicians inspect and document every potential entry point, from worn garage door seals to unsealed weep holes, and provide specific recommendations.
UV Blacklight Inspections
Bark scorpions glow under ultraviolet light. We offer blacklight inspections for severe infestations to identify nesting areas and population density.
Ongoing Prevention
Scheduled bimonthly treatments maintain your barrier protection year-round. If scorpions return between visits, we re-treat your home for free.

Scorpion Control FAQ — Phoenix Homeowners
How do I know if I have bark scorpions?
Bark scorpions are 2-3 inches long, tan/yellowish in color, and have slender pincers. They're the only Arizona scorpion that climbs walls and ceilings. If you're finding scorpions on walls or ceilings, they're almost certainly bark scorpions.
How quickly does scorpion treatment work?
You'll typically see a significant reduction after the first treatment. Full population control takes 2-3 service cycles (4-6 months) as we eliminate both the scorpions and their prey insects.
Can I get rid of scorpions without pest control?
DIY methods like diatomaceous earth and sticky traps catch some scorpions but don't address the root cause. Professional barrier treatments are the only proven method for sustained scorpion control in Arizona.
How much does scorpion control cost in Phoenix?
Our plans that include comprehensive scorpion control start at $42/month (quarterly) or $69/month (bimonthly, recommended for heavy scorpion areas).
Is scorpion treatment safe for pets?
Yes. All products are EPA-registered and pet-safe once dry (30-60 minutes). We recommend keeping pets off treated surfaces until dry.
Which Phoenix areas have the most scorpions?
The highest scorpion activity areas include: North Phoenix, Desert Ridge, Cave Creek, Fountain Hills, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Ahwatukee, and any neighborhood bordering undeveloped desert land.
