Our FAQs
-
There are approximately 2,000 different species of scorpions located worldwide — all of them are venomous. However, only about 25 to 40 species carry venom strong enough to cause damage to humans. There is only one highly venomous species in the United States; the Arizona bark scorpion, sometimes simply called the Arizona scorpion. These scorpions are rarely a deadly threat to healthy adults but can be extremely dangerous to compromised adults, young children, or older individuals. The neurotoxins released by Arizona bark scorpions can cause convulsions and shortness of breath, meaning medical attention is always necessary after a suspected sting.

Most of the time, you'll find scorpions hiding in crevices between rocks, underneath piles of brush or debris, or in the cracks of your property's foundation. If they do invade interior areas, they will most likely be in dark, cool, and secluded locations such as storage spaces and closets.
-
Scorpions are attracted to areas with plenty of pest prey that act as food, pools of water or moist conditions, and sheltering spots. If your property has these on display, you may end up with a group of scorpions looking for a place to live.
-
Scorpions are dangerous pests due to their venomous stings and the pain their stings can cause. While most scorpion stings are painful, they are only a major risk to individuals with preexisting conditions or the elderly and children. That said, some species of scorpions deliver painful stings with serious health consequences, such as numbness, swelling, slurred speech, and difficulty breathing. Seek medical attention if you encounter any of these symptoms.
