Scorpions are one of the most common — and most feared — pests in Arizona. With scorching temperatures, rocky terrain, and plenty of hiding spots, Arizona is the perfect habitat for these stinging pests. At Redline Pest Control, we specialize in eliminating scorpions and protecting homes year-round. Here's everything you need to know about scorpion prevention, treatment, and why it’s critical to stay consistent in a high-risk area like ours.


🦂 What Attracts Scorpions to Arizona Homes?

Scorpions seek out cool, dark, and moist environments — which often leads them right into homes. Common attractants include:

  • Cracks in walls or foundations

  • Gaps under doors or garage seals

  • Standing water or leaky irrigation

  • Overgrown bushes and rock piles near the house

  • Untreated pests like crickets and roaches, which scorpions feed on


💥 Signs You Might Have a Scorpion Problem

Most people don’t notice scorpions until it’s too late. Here are a few early warning signs:

  • Spotting a scorpion inside or outside your home, especially at night

  • Scorpion droppings, which look like small, dark smears

  • Other pest activity like roaches or crickets — they often signal a food source

  • Unexplained stings, especially around beds or shoes

Use a black light at night to spot them — their bodies glow under UV light.


🔒 How to Keep Scorpions Out

Professional pest control is the #1 most effective way to eliminate and prevent scorpions, but homeowners can take these steps too:

  • Seal all entry points: Use caulk, weather-stripping, and garage seals

  • Eliminate water sources: Fix leaks and avoid standing water

  • Keep the yard clean: Trim bushes, move wood piles, and avoid clutter near the foundation

  • Get rid of their food: If you see crickets or roaches, they’re likely attracting scorpions

  • Use scorpion-specific products: Not all sprays work — you need the right ones


🧪 How Redline Treats for Scorpions (What Makes Us Different)

At Redline, we go way beyond the standard spray. Here’s how our scorpion protection stands out:

  • Power sprayers for maximum product penetration

  • Full yard treatment — not just a light perimeter

  • Entry points, garage, base of home, foundation, fence lines, and cracks

  • Products that kill on contact and leave a strong residual

  • Bi-monthly treatments to maintain a consistent barrier

Our team is trained to identify common scorpion entry points and customize the treatment for your specific layout.
