We tried everything. Pest control companies, glue traps, powders. None of it worked as well as this.

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?

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.

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.

We’re in a new neighborhood with a lot of construction. Our Detectors are staying busy, but getting notifications is better than getting surprised.

Thank you for giving us the peace of mind in knowing these things aren't crawling around in our newborn's room at night and hiding in her toys or clothes.

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 tell if there are more scorpions without staying up all night?

A short monitoring plan can turn worry into data: for 7 days, check likely perimeter routes (baseboards, thresholds, corners) and log the date/time/room of any sightings. Because scorpions prefer traveling along edges, perimeter-focused monitoring is more effective than random searching across open floors. This 7-day scorpion monitoring plan also explains detector placement ideas and why sticky traps can be a misleading “monitoring” strategy.

What’s the safest way to identify a scorpion without getting stung?

Use an “observe, illuminate, photograph, contain” approach: keep distance, wear closed-toe shoes, keep kids/pets away, and avoid bare-hand handling. A 365nm UV light can help confirm what you’re seeing because scorpions fluoresce, and a zoomed photo can capture key features without getting close. This step-by-step safe scorpion photo and capture guide also explains why to move slowly since scorpions can be quick and may climb certain surfaces.

What does it mean if I see two scorpions locked together—is that mating or fighting?

Scorpion courtship often looks like a sustained “handshake” where they clasp pincers and move together in short bursts, sometimes pivoting or circling as the male searches for the right surface. That coordinated movement is usually the classic promenade, not a fight—though things can turn risky during separation. This guide to scorpion mating dance steps breaks down what you’re seeing and why you shouldn’t try to break them up with bare hands.

Why are scorpions coming into my house all of a sudden?

Scorpions usually enter homes for the basics—food, water, and tight shelter—and because your home often has easier access than the yard. Since they tend to travel along edges and hug walls, the biggest risk areas are baseboards, thresholds, and clutter near room perimeters. This reasons scorpions enter your home guide also explains why sightings often happen at night (or not at all), so reducing attractants plus monitoring is the safest combo.

If I’m buying today, what’s the smartest 12-month scorpion plan and budget?

This section compares the real annual costs of common approaches—monthly pest control vs a focused DIY stack vs one-time professional sealing—and then turns it into a prioritized shopping plan. It breaks purchases into “tonight,” “this weekend,” and “this month,” so you reduce sightings fast without over-spraying indoors. It also explains how automated monitoring can replace nightly blacklight walks in 12-month scorpion control plan and budget.

How does a scorpion’s tail and stinger work, and what’s the safest way to handle an indoor sighting?

The “tail” is the metasoma (the flexible segments), while the stinger assembly is the telson, which includes the venom-holding vesicle and the sharp aculeus that injects. Scorpions can curl and aim that tail quickly when threatened, and venom use is something they can meter rather than “always dumping.” If you find one indoors, keep kids and pets away and use tools—not bare hands—to isolate it, as outlined in this tail and stinger safety guide.
