WestWing Mountain Pest Control

Scorpion Country

Hillside homes beside preserved desert sit right next to prime scorpion habitat. Rock outcrops, brush, and washes shelter them by day, and at night they roam toward walls, patios, and garages looking for insects to eat.

Arizona bark scorpions climb well and can squeeze through gaps under doors, around pipes, and along weep screeds. A home that looks well sealed may still have plenty of small entry points.

Stepped lots and retaining walls add even more hiding places. These are the areas our technicians check first.

Families with young kids often worry most about scorpions indoors. Shaking out shoes, checking bedding pulled away from walls, and keeping a flashlight handy at night are good habits while regular service brings activity down.

Our Black Light Scorpion Service

Scorpions glow under ultraviolet light. After dark, our technicians walk the property with UV lights, find scorpions on walls and in landscaping, and remove them.

This service also shows us exactly where activity is concentrated, so daytime treatments can be aimed more precisely. Many WestWing Mountain homeowners combine it with regular bi-monthly service.

Night visits are especially useful in the warm months, when scorpions are at their most active and easiest to find. Your technician will share what they found and which spots deserve extra attention.

Other Foothill Pests

Crickets and spiders thrive along the same desert edge, and rodents sometimes forage down from the hillside during dry periods. Regular exterior treatment reduces all of these, which in turn leaves scorpions with less to eat.

Service starts starting at $45 a month for homes up to 2,500 square feet, with free re-treatments between scheduled visits.

Simple changes like weatherstripping doors, sealing gaps around plumbing, and keeping firewood off the ground all make treatments more effective.
