Pest Control Bros has been our bug man for years. We just had a scorpion problem. He came out and sprayed our yard again and put powder in the walls. He's always there when we have bug issues. Pest Bros always guarantees they're work. We really appreciate them.

Scorpion Sting First Aid & Prevention

What to Do After a Bark Scorpion Sting — and How to Stop the Next One

If you or a family member is stung by a bark scorpion, act immediately: wash the sting site with soap and water, apply a cool compress, and call Arizona Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. Do not apply a tourniquet or cut the skin. In healthy adults, symptoms — intense localized pain, numbness, tingling — typically peak within 30 minutes and resolve in 24 hours. In children under 5, the elderly, or anyone with a compromised immune system, symptoms can escalate to muscle spasms, difficulty swallowing, and respiratory distress. Go to the ER immediately if those signs appear; Anascorp antivenom is available at most Arizona hospitals.

The most effective prevention is eliminating harborage before scorpions enter. Seal weep holes and utility penetrations with copper mesh or caulk. Remove wood piles, rock stacks, and cardboard boxes from against the foundation — bark scorpions rest in these during the day. Install door sweeps on every exterior door and replace worn weatherstripping. Inside, shake out shoes and check towels before use; bark scorpions are climbers and will reach shelves, curtains, and even ceiling fans.

Professional treatment closes the gap that DIY products leave open. Pest Control Bros applies residual barrier treatments to the perimeter, block walls, and known entry points on a schedule timed to the scorpion's active season (April–October). We also offer UV blacklight inspections to locate active harborage sites invisible in daylight. If you are seeing bark scorpions inside your home, same-week service is available across Maricopa, Chandler, Casa Grande, Tempe, Gilbert, and Mesa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about bark scorpions in Arizona — and how to get rid of them.

The bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus) is the most venomous scorpion in North America. It is a small, tan-colored scorpion typically 2–3 inches long, native to the Sonoran Desert. Unlike most scorpions, it climbs vertical surfaces and is commonly found inside Arizona homes.
Bark scorpion venom is a neurotoxin. For healthy adults, a sting causes intense pain, numbness, and tingling that can last several hours. For young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, symptoms can be severe — including muscle spasms, difficulty swallowing, and breathing problems — and may require emergency antivenom treatment.
Call Arizona Poison Control immediately at 1-800-222-1222. Keep the affected area below heart level, stay calm, and do not apply ice. If the victim is a child, elderly, or showing severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing or muscle spasms, call 911 and go to the nearest emergency room.
Bark scorpions hide in dark, cool, moist areas during the day. Common hiding spots include inside shoes and boots, folded towels and bedding, under sinks, in closets, behind baseboards, inside wall voids, under cardboard boxes, and in attic insulation. Always shake out shoes and clothing before putting them on.
Bark scorpions are most active from April through October when nighttime temperatures exceed 70°F. They are nocturnal hunters, so activity peaks after dark. During winter months they become dormant, often clustering together in wall voids or under bark to survive the cold.
Bark scorpions can squeeze through gaps as thin as a credit card. Common entry points include weep holes in brick, gaps around plumbing and electrical penetrations, poorly sealed doors and windows, cracks in the foundation, and gaps around garage doors. Sealing these entry points is a critical part of any scorpion control program.
Yes. Unlike most scorpion species, bark scorpions are excellent climbers. They can scale stucco, brick, wood, and even smooth surfaces. This is why they are often found on walls, ceilings, and in upper cabinets — and why a perimeter spray alone is not enough to stop them.
Bark scorpions fluoresce bright green-yellow under ultraviolet (UV) blacklight. Use a UV flashlight after dark to inspect your yard, walls, and interior. Walk slowly along the perimeter of your home, check under rocks and debris, and scan walls from ground level up. This is also a useful way to gauge how severe your infestation is.
Bark scorpions are not social insects, but they do aggregate — especially in winter. It is common to find dozens of scorpions clustered together under bark, in wall voids, or beneath rocks. If you find one scorpion inside your home, there are likely more nearby.
Female bark scorpions give birth to live young (called scorplings) rather than laying eggs. A single female can produce 25–35 scorplings per litter. The babies ride on the mother's back for 1–2 weeks until their first molt. Scorplings are venomous from birth, making early control critical.
Deaths from bark scorpion stings are extremely rare in the United States thanks to the availability of antivenom (Anascorp). However, stings are a serious medical event — especially for children under 5, adults over 65, and anyone with a compromised immune system. Prompt medical attention is always recommended.
Bark scorpions are attracted to moisture, harborage, and prey. Common attractants include drip irrigation systems, standing water, wood piles, rock landscaping, palm trees, citrus trees, and clutter that provides hiding spots. Reducing these conditions around your home significantly lowers scorpion pressure.
Yes. Rock landscaping, decomposed granite, stacked pavers, wood mulch, and dense ground cover all create ideal harborage for bark scorpions. Palm trees are a particularly common habitat — the fibrous bark provides perfect daytime shelter. Keeping landscaping tidy and away from the home's foundation reduces scorpion populations.
DIY products from hardware stores have limited effectiveness against bark scorpions. Most consumer sprays do not penetrate the harborage sites where scorpions rest during the day, and scorpions are naturally resistant to many common insecticides. Professional-grade treatments, combined with exclusion and targeted applications, are far more effective at achieving lasting control.
A professional bark scorpion program typically includes a perimeter barrier treatment with residual insecticide, crack-and-crevice applications in high-risk areas, exclusion sealing around entry points, and scheduled follow-up visits timed to the active season. Pest Control Bros uses professional-grade products unavailable over the counter and backs every service with a satisfaction guarantee.
For active infestations, monthly treatments during the peak season (April–October) are recommended. Once the population is under control, quarterly maintenance visits are typically sufficient to keep scorpions out year-round. Your technician will recommend a schedule based on the severity of your infestation and your property's risk factors.
Yes. We use EPA-registered products applied by licensed technicians following all label directions. We will advise you on any precautions — such as keeping children and pets off treated surfaces until dry — before we begin. Our goal is to protect your family while eliminating the scorpion threat.
No. Pest Control Bros does not require contracts. You can schedule one-time treatments or ongoing service on a month-to-month basis. We earn your business through results, not lock-in agreements.
We serve Maricopa, Chandler, Casa Grande, Tempe, Gilbert, and Mesa. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, call us at (520) 424-5244 and we will let you know right away.
