The Bark Scorpion Problem
Tucson has one scorpion that genuinely matters: the Arizona bark scorpion — the only scorpion in the state whose sting is dangerous enough to warrant medical attention, especially for children and pets. They climb walls, hide in shoes and bedding, and squeeze through gaps as thin as a credit card. Our Scorpion Control Tucson team responds fast to keep these pests out of your home.
Our scorpion guidance follows University of Arizona research. We don’t publish fabricated stats — claims on this page reflect established AZ extension guidance.
Why treatment alone isn’t enough
University of Arizona guidance is clear that scorpions are hard to manage with pesticides alone — sealing the structure is by far the most effective long-term control. That’s why every job pairs targeted treatment with home-sealing.
Our scorpion service flow
- Inspection, including a nighttime UV inspection to find where they’re active.
- Exclusion / home-sealing: door sweeps, weatherstripping, weep-hole screening, caulking penetrations.
- Harborage cleanup: trimming vegetation and clearing harborage around the foundation.
- Targeted treatment of the perimeter and known harborage points.
- Recurring visits to maintain the barrier and re-seal as needed.

Scorpion FAQs
Can you get rid of scorpions completely?
We dramatically reduce them by combining treatment with sealing, but in the desert the realistic goal is strong, ongoing control — not a one-time guarantee of zero.
How do I scorpion-proof my home?
Seal door gaps, screen weep holes, weatherstrip, caulk penetrations, and keep vegetation off the foundation. We handle all of this as part of the service.
Are bark scorpions dangerous?
Yes — especially to children and pets. A sting warrants medical attention for vulnerable people.
Why do I see them under a blacklight?
Scorpions fluoresce under UV, which is how we find and target them at night.
