The Dangerous Scorpion In Arizona

Here in Arizona, the most common type of scorpion is the bark scorpion, which is small, light-colored, and extremely venomous. Although they are small, they can pack a powerful punch. Their venom can cause a number of serious health problems, including:

Nausea
Vomiting
Muscle twitching
Seizures
Coma (in rare cases)

If you are stung by one of these dangerous scorpions, be sure to seek medical attention immediately. If you have young children or pets in your home, it's also important to be extra vigilant about scorpion control.

Scorpions are attracted to food sources, such as insects and rodents. If you have these pests on your property, they will also likely draw scorpions. They are also attracted to moisture, so they may enter your property in search of water sources, including leaky pipes or pools.

Bark scorpions, in particular, are good climbers, so they may also enter your home through holes in the roof or cracks in walls. If they've gotten into your home, you'll typically find them in dark, humid places, such as closets, sinks, bathtubs, and garages. In the winter, you may find a group of scorpions huddled together in a warm spot, such as under a heating vent.

There are a number of things you can do to prevent scorpions from entering your property, including:

Sealing up cracks and gaps in your foundation, walls, and doors. Scorpions can squeeze through tiny spaces, so it's important to seal up any cracks or gaps in your home.
Eliminating food sources. If you have insects or rodents on your property, scorpions will likely be drawn to it as well. Eliminating these food sources can help deter scorpions.
Reducing water sources. Scorpions are attracted to moisture, so reducing water sources on your property can help discourage them from invading.
Maintaining a clean and clutter-free property. Scorpions like to hide in dark, cluttered places. Keeping your property clean and free of clutter can help discourage them from taking up residence.
Using light. Scorpions are nocturnal creatures that avoid light. Using outdoor lighting at night can help keep them away from your property.

If you're concerned about scorpions, it's time to become proactive about preventing them. Contacting a pest control professional is the best way to ensure that your property is safe from these pests.
