3 to 8 years undetected
Scorpions can live in your house for months or even years undetected, especially if the conditions are right. With enough food and water, scorpions often live between 3-8 years.

From Our Customers
Scorpion Alert is the only subscription we never consider canceling. It’s essential out here, especially with our kids and puppies.

We’re in a new neighborhood with a lot of construction. Our Detectors are staying busy, but getting notifications is better than getting surprised.
Jessica
14 scorpions detected
Our 1 year old got stung in a room we never would have expected to find a scorpion. We ordered 5 scorpion detectors the next day.

Setup is simple. Results are guaranteed.
1. Plug In Scorpion Detectors
Scorpions often travel along walls and baseboards, especially in the dark. That's why Scorpion Detectors are designed to activate when the lights go out, detecting movement along the edges where scorpions are most likely to roam. Just plug in a few around your home for targeted, energy-efficient coverage.

2. Get Instant Alerts
When a scorpion is detected, you'll receive an instant alert with its exact location and a clear photo. The image will help you understand where the scorpion is headed so you can respond effectively. The app also makes it easy to manage your Detectors, adjust alert settings, and stay in control at all times.

3. Neutralize The Threat
Everyone reacts to alerts differently, and that's okay. We'll guide you through smart, safe ways to get prepared and handle any alert with confidence.

4. Seal Entry Points
The more Scorpion Detectors you place around your home, the better your chances of spotting scorpions early near where they're getting in. Each Detector shows how many scorpions were detected in that spot, so you can focus on the areas that need attention most. We'll help you find those entry points and seal them up for good.
Did You Know?
25-35 babies per year
A female scorpion can give birth to 25-35 babies. Baby scorpions ride on their mother's back until they molt, so catching them early is critical to prevent infestation.
1,685 hospitalizations a year
An average of 1,685 people require hospitalization for scorpion stings every year. In severe cases, scorpion stings can result in severe neurological symptoms, including difficulty swallowing, involuntary eye movement, and respiratory distress.

Why homeowners trust the system
We got 2 alerts our first week! These things really work, what a good idea, so easy to use. Much better than sticky traps, thank you so much!

The picture and location that come with an alert is so helpful in figuring out where the scorpion is going. It usually hasn't traveled very far by the time I get there.

Super easy setup. We just plugged the Scorpion Detectors in, set them up with my phone, and that was it. I love the live feed on my phone to let me know they're always watching.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I feel in control of scorpions again without constantly checking?
Instead of trying to “fix it overnight,” the focus is on reducing uncertainty and having a clear response plan so your brain can stand down. The article explains how a real monitoring system can replace endless scanning, why photo-verified alerts help anxious minds, and how to keep nights quiet with smarter notification settings. It also covers sharing access and responsibilities so the burden doesn’t fall on one person in scorpion monitoring for peace of mind.
What should I do right now if I find a scorpion, and how do I prevent repeat sightings?
Start by staying calm and containing it safely (not with bare hands), then do an “edge sweep” of nearby perimeters where scorpions travel and pause. Small habit changes—like quick shoe/bedding checks, reducing floor clutter, and managing moisture—cut down on surprise encounters. For ongoing awareness without night walks, the guide explains perimeter-focused monitoring and why some trap setups can be messy in lived-in spaces; see stop scorpions from coming back.
Is the scorpion in my house dangerous, and when should I call Poison Control?
Most scorpions in the U.S. aren’t medically dangerous, but you should treat unknown scorpions with caution—especially depending on where you live, who’s at risk (kids, elderly, pregnant people, pets), and whether it was found on a wall or ceiling. This section also lists fast “call Poison Control” symptoms and emphasizes not waiting for a perfect species ID if symptoms show up. Use this scorpion danger and urgency guide to prioritize safety and containment first.
What does scorpion mating look like—are they fighting or mating?
Scorpion courtship often looks like two scorpions “holding hands” with their pincers while the male guides the female in a slow back-and-forth “dance,” which can be mistaken for a fight. The male places a spermatophore (a packet of sperm) on the ground and tries to position the female over it, so patios, pavers, and other stable surfaces can become mating spots at night. For a clear, step-by-step picture and safety tips, see this scorpion mating dance explained.
Is there a way to monitor for scorpions automatically without checking traps every day?
Because scorpions tend to patrol along walls and thresholds, perimeter monitoring can target the places they’re most likely to show up. Using UV fluorescence (scorpions glow under 365nm UV) can make detection easier without turning your home into a nightly search mission. This section explains automatic scorpion perimeter monitoring and how Scorpion Alert detectors use wall-outlet placement, rapid image capture, and AI-verified alerts to reduce surprise encounters.
How do scorpions get into my house, and what’s the best way to catch one early?
Scorpions slip in through small gaps like worn door sweeps, thresholds (including the garage-to-house door), plumbing/electrical penetrations, and cracks where exterior materials meet. Sealing helps, but no house is perfectly sealed—so it’s smart to verify whether anything is still getting in. This seal and monitor for scorpions section explains an “outside-in” approach and why perimeter-focused monitoring along baseboards can alert you sooner, especially at night.
