Treatment
Scorpions Bow Before Lunar Pests Superior Defense
Scorpions typically avoid human interaction and only attack when accidentally disturbed or threatened. They enter homes seeking food or shelter. The key to effective scorpion control is eliminating their food source - the insects they hunt.
Our technicians recommend treating your foundation and adjacent structures to eliminate the crickets, roaches, and other insects that scorpions feed on. Contact us for targeted elimination, and remember that proactive ongoing pest control prevents future infestations from taking hold.
Scorpions in the Phoenix Area
Arizona is home to more than 40 scorpion species, but the one our technicians encounter most often is the Arizona bark scorpion - and for good reason. It's the most venomous scorpion in North America and, unfortunately, the Phoenix metro area is right in the heart of its territory.
What makes bark scorpions different from other species is their climbing ability. While most scorpions stay on the ground, bark scorpions can scale walls, walk across ceilings, and squeeze through gaps as small as a credit card. That's why homeowners find them in places they'd never expect: inside closets, on bedroom walls, even in shoes left on the floor.
Other species you might encounter include the stripe-tailed scorpion and the giant desert hairy scorpion. These are less dangerous but still unwelcome houseguests. Our technicians can identify which species you're dealing with and adjust the treatment approach accordingly.
Signs of a Scorpion Problem
Scorpions are nocturnal, so you may have more activity than you realize. Here are the signs our technicians look for during inspections:
You're seeing scorpions regularly. Finding one scorpion inside your home might be a fluke. Finding them weekly - or seeing multiple in one night - signals an established population nearby.
You're finding them in living spaces. Scorpions in the garage are common. Scorpions in bedrooms, kitchens, or bathrooms suggest they've found entry points into your main living areas.
You have a high prey insect population. Scorpions follow their food. If you're seeing lots of crickets, roaches, or other insects around your home, scorpions won't be far behind.
Pro tip: Bark scorpions glow under UV blacklight. Our technicians use this during evening inspections to locate scorpions that would otherwise be invisible.
Why Bark Scorpion Stings Are Serious
Most scorpion stings in Arizona cause pain and swelling that fades within a few hours - uncomfortable, but not dangerous. Bark scorpion stings are different.
Bark scorpion venom is a neurotoxin that affects the nervous system. Adults typically experience intense pain, numbness, and tingling that can last 24-72 hours. For young children, elderly family members, or those with compromised immune systems, reactions can be more severe and may require medical attention.
Our technicians take bark scorpion activity seriously because of this health risk. If you have young children or family members with health concerns, reducing scorpion populations around your home isn't just about comfort - it's about safety.
The good news? Consistent treatment significantly reduces the chances of an encounter. Most of our long-term customers tell us they've gone from seeing scorpions weekly to seeing them rarely, if ever.

LUNAR PEST EXPERIENCE
Targeted Pest Control Solutions That Are Out of This World
While professional treatment is the most effective way to control scorpions, there are steps you can take to make your home less inviting: Remove hiding spots like bark, woodpiles, and debris from your foundation. Seal entry points with door sweeps and weatherstripping. Fix moisture issues - scorpions need water to survive. Reduce outdoor lighting that attracts insects. Keep trees and bushes trimmed away from your home. These steps help, but if you're already seeing scorpions inside, professional treatment is the fastest way to get the situation under control.

Don’t just take our word for it
Most customers notice a reduction in scorpion activity within the first few treatments. Because scorpions can survive for extended periods, complete elimination takes ongoing treatment - typically 2-3 months of consistent service to significantly reduce populations.
Yes. Our technicians use products that are family and pet-safe when applied according to label directions. We'll let you know when it's safe to resume normal activity in treated areas.
Several factors affect scorpion activity: landscaping features, moisture sources, prey insect populations, and construction type. Homes with block walls, desert landscaping, and mature trees tend to see more scorpion activity. Our technicians can identify what's attracting them to your property.
Without ongoing treatment, yes. Scorpions from surrounding areas will eventually repopulate. That's why our technicians recommend regular service to maintain the protective barrier and keep prey insect populations low.
Year-round treatment is most effective. While scorpion activity peaks in summer months, bark scorpions remain active throughout the year in Arizona. Winter treatments target scorpions in their harborage areas before they become active in spring.
