Arizona Scorpion Treatment
Same Day Service Available
No Obligation Instant Quote
Finding scorpions in your home changes how you walk through your own house. You start
checking shoes before putting them on, scanning walls before flipping light switches, and
worrying every time the kids walk barefoot to the bathroom at night. If that sounds
familiar, you're not alone - it's one of the most common calls we get across the 26
cities we serve in the Phoenix metro.
Scorpion season peaks from March through October, but Arizona bark scorpions don't take
winters off. They stay active year-round, which means your home needs year-round
protection. Our technicians treat every area of your home and property - interior,
exterior, and the spots most people forget to check.

Scorpion Defense
Scorpions Bow Before Lunar Pest's Superior Defense
Scorpions aren't aggressive. They don't hunt you down - they wander into your home
looking for food and shelter, and they'd rather avoid you entirely. They only sting when
they feel cornered or threatened.
This matters because it tells you exactly how to beat them: cut off the food supply.
Crickets are the number one food source drawing scorpions to your property. Roaches and
other insects play a role too, but if you've got crickets around your foundation, you're
basically running a scorpion buffet. Our approach targets the full ecosystem - eliminate
what scorpions eat, and they have no reason to stick around.
We focus treatment on your home's foundation, block walls, and any adjacent structures
like sheds or patio covers. Targeted, professional-grade products in the right places
beat store-bought sprays every time.
Know Your Enemy
Scorpions in the Phoenix Area
Arizona is home to more than 40 scorpion species, but one stands above the rest as a
genuine health concern: the Arizona bark scorpion. It's the most venomous scorpion in
North America, and it's the species we deal with most often.
What Makes Bark Scorpions Different
Unlike most scorpion species that stay on the ground, bark scorpions climb. Walls,
ceilings, tree trunks - vertical surfaces are no problem for them. They can squeeze
through a gap the width of a credit card, which is how they end up in the places that
really rattle people: inside closets, on bedroom walls, tucked into shoes.
Other species you'll encounter in the Valley include the stripe-tailed scorpion and the
giant desert hairy scorpion. Both look intimidating, but their stings are closer to a
bee sting - painful, not dangerous. Bark scorpions are the ones that need professional
attention.
Wondering how bad it is in your city? We mapped 2,043 verified scorpion sightings
across the Valley and ranked all 21 cities in our
Scorpion Capitals of the Valley 2026 report
- including an interactive map you can search by neighborhood.
Inspection & Detection
Signs of a Scorpion Problem
Not sure if you have a real problem or just the occasional visitor? Here's what our
technicians look for during inspections:
Regular sightings - Seeing scorpions weekly, or spotting multiple in
a single night, means you have an established population living on or near your
property.
Scorpions in your living spaces - When they show up in bedrooms,
kitchens, or bathrooms, they've found entry points into your main living areas. That's
a structural issue, not just bad luck.
Lots of prey insects - Heavy cricket or roach activity around your
home is a flashing neon sign for scorpions. Where the food goes, scorpions follow.
Pro tip: Bark scorpions glow bright blue-green under UV blacklight. Our
technicians use blacklight detection during evening inspections to locate scorpions that
are completely invisible to the naked eye. It's one of the most effective tools in the
industry, and it's part of every inspection we do.
Health & Safety
Why Bark Scorpion Stings Are Serious
Most Arizona scorpion stings cause localized pain and swelling that fades within a few
hours. Unpleasant, but manageable. Bark scorpion stings are a different story.
Their venom is a neurotoxin - it targets the nervous system rather than just causing
local irritation. Adults typically experience intense pain, numbness, and tingling that
can last 24 to 72 hours.
For vulnerable populations - young children, elderly family members, and anyone with a
compromised immune system - bark scorpion stings can trigger severe reactions that
require emergency medical attention.
This is the main reason families with small kids call us as soon as they spot the first
one.
The good news: consistent, professional treatment makes a dramatic difference. Our
long-term customers regularly tell us they went from seeing scorpions every week to
almost never. After 13+ years serving Arizona homes since 2011, we've seen that pattern
repeat hundreds of times.
How We Work
The Lunar Lock Protocol - How We Work
01
Inspect and Strategize
Every property is different, so every treatment plan should be too. Our technicians
- including Jacquie, our wildlife biologist who specializes in exclusion work - do a
detailed survey of your property. We identify entry points, harborage areas, food
sources, and environmental factors specific to your home. You get a personalized
prevention plan, not a generic spray-and-pray.
02
Perimeter Shielding
We use advanced backpack sprayers that cover more ground with greater precision than
the standard truck-mounted units most companies rely on. This creates a continuous
protective barrier around your home's perimeter - foundation, eaves, entry points,
and anywhere scorpions travel.
03
Scorpion Guard Granules
Granular products formulated specifically for scorpions, applied to targeted zones
around your property. These are people-safe and pet-safe, designed to work on
scorpions and their prey insects without creating hazards for your family.
04
Dust Defense and Web Removal
Precision dusting technology reaches the cracks, crevices, and voids that sprays
can't touch - the exact spots where scorpions hide during the day. We also clear
spider webs and treat outdoor living spaces so your patios and walkways stay
pest-free.
Prevention Tips
What You Can Do Between Treatments
Professional treatment is the fastest path to a scorpion-free home, but these habits
make a real difference between visits:
Clear hiding spots - Move bark, woodpiles, rocks, and yard debris
away from your foundation. Scorpions love cool, dark cover during the day.
Seal entry points - Install door sweeps and weatherstripping.
Remember, bark scorpions fit through credit-card-width gaps.
Fix moisture issues - Scorpions need water just like everything else.
Leaky faucets, standing water, and poor drainage attract them.
Reduce outdoor lighting - Lights attract insects. Insects attract
scorpions. Switch to yellow or amber bulbs near entry doors.
Trim vegetation - Keep trees, bushes, and ground cover trimmed back
from your home's exterior. Branches touching your roof or walls are a highway for bark
scorpions.
If scorpions are already showing up inside your home, these prevention steps help - but
professional treatment is what actually solves the problem. We offer same-day service
when you need it handled fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I see results after treatment?
Most customers notice a reduction within the first few treatments. But here's the
honest answer: scorpion control isn't instant. It takes consistent service over 2 to 3
months to knock down an established population. The products need time to break the
cycle - killing prey insects, eliminating harborage, and reducing the scorpion
population itself. Stick with the program and the results compound over time.
Are your scorpion treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Every product we use is family-safe and pet-safe when applied according to label
directions. Your technician will let you know exactly when it's fine to resume normal
activity in treated areas - usually it doesn't take long at all.
Why do I have scorpions when my neighbors don't?
This comes up constantly, and it usually comes down to a few property-specific factors:
your landscaping design, moisture sources (like irrigation or pool equipment), how many
prey insects you have, and your home's construction type. Block wall homes with desert
landscaping and mature trees tend to see more scorpion activity than stucco homes with
minimal vegetation. During our inspection, we identify exactly what's drawing them to
your property specifically.
Do scorpions come back after treatment?
Without ongoing service, yes - eventually they will. Your home doesn't exist in
isolation. Scorpions from the surrounding desert, neighboring properties, and common
areas will repopulate over time. Regular treatment maintains protective barriers and
keeps prey insect populations low so scorpions never get re-established. Think of it
like mowing your lawn - the grass doesn't stop growing just because you cut it once.
What's the best time of year to treat for scorpions?
Year-round. Summer is when activity peaks and when most people call us, but bark
scorpions stay active through Arizona winters. Winter treatments are actually strategic
- we target harborage areas where scorpions shelter, hitting them before spring brings
the population surge. Starting treatment early in the year means you're ahead of the
curve instead of playing catch-up when it's 110 degrees and scorpions are everywhere.
