Understanding Bark Scorpions
The Arizona bark scorpion is small, pale, and an excellent climber. It can scale stucco and block walls, slip under doors, and hide in shoes, towels, or bedding.
Bark scorpions spend daylight hours under rock, inside wall voids, and in cracks around garages and pool equipment. At night they come out to hunt crickets and other insects.
Homes with rock landscaping, block walls, and nearby open ground give scorpions plenty of shelter close to the house. A single scorpion indoors is often a sign that more are living nearby.
Black Light Scorpion Service
Scorpions glow under ultraviolet light, which makes nighttime the best time to find them. During a black light service, our technician walks your walls, yard, and garage after dark to locate and remove active scorpions.
Paired with regular barrier treatments, this approach cuts down on the scorpions you have now while making your home less inviting to new ones.
Most black light visits take place shortly after sunset, when scorpions leave their hiding places to hunt. Your technician will explain what was found and where activity was heaviest so you understand what is happening around your home.

Small Fixes That Help
Shake out shoes and gloves, keep beds away from walls, and add weatherstripping to doors. We will point out any gaps we notice during the visit.
Keeping firewood, boards, and stored items off the ground removes daytime hiding spots. Trimming shrubs so they do not touch the walls also takes away a climbing route.

Can scorpions really climb walls?
Bark scorpions can. They climb stucco, block, and even some interior surfaces, which is why sealing and treating vertical surfaces matters. Treating the base of walls and eaves helps cut off those climbing routes.
How often should I do a black light service?
It depends on how much activity you have. Many homeowners schedule one during peak warm-weather months, and we can recommend timing after the first visit.
Is scorpion treatment safe for pets?
Yes. Our products are pet friendly and safe once they have been applied and dried. Kids and pets can return to the yard once everything is dry.
