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!

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.

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.

We can't use glue traps and we don't want to smash scorpion guts into our new carpet, so Scorpion Alert is perfect for us.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop scorpions from coming back after I kill one?

After a sighting, focus on sealing entry points, reducing clutter/hiding spots, and cutting off food and water sources, then monitor the next few nights with UV checks along baseboards, thresholds, and corners. The section also compares sticky traps (and their drawbacks) with a monitoring hierarchy that includes automated detection for faster alerts before a scorpion disappears again. You’ll find a practical checklist and monitoring options in stop scorpions from coming back.

What happens at the ER for a scorpion sting—and how can I prevent another one?

At the ER, clinicians typically monitor vital signs, manage pain and muscle symptoms, and consider antivenom (like Anascorp) when symptoms are moderate/severe and consistent with significant envenomation. Many mild stings improve over time, while more intense neurologic symptoms may require observation until they resolve. This scorpion sting ER treatment overview also covers practical prevention steps like sealing gaps, reducing clutter, and keeping bedding/shoes off the floor.

What symptoms mean I should go to the ER right now after a scorpion sting?

Go to the ER for neurologic or whole-body symptoms like uncontrolled twitching, abnormal eye movements, trouble swallowing/drooling, confusion, spreading numbness, or severe agitation—especially if symptoms worsen after briefly improving. Adults should also treat breathing trouble, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, repeated vomiting, or severe shaking as ER-level concerns. Use this scorpion sting ER symptoms checklist to quickly decide between ER, urgent care, or home monitoring.

How can I tell if scorpions are inside without doing a blacklight search every night?

A reliable approach is perimeter-based monitoring, because scorpions often travel along edges like baseboards, thresholds, corners, and the garage-to-house entry rather than crossing open floors. Checking high-probability routes near water sources (bathrooms/laundry) and cluttered storage zones improves your odds while reducing stress and guesswork. The article also explains automated overnight options that can capture photo-verified activity in how to monitor scorpions indoors.

How do I mix and apply Cy-Kick CS or Demand CS so they actually work on scorpions?

Technique beats brand: follow the label rate, don’t under-dose, and focus on the perimeter edges and cracks scorpions use as “highways” (expansion joints, block wall tops/bases, thresholds, door frames, and the garage perimeter). If you’re hiring a service, ask what concentration they’re using—some dilute far below stronger label-allowed rates for tougher pests, which can reduce results. This mix and apply CS sprays walkthrough explains the exact targets and reapplication timing.

How do scorpions get into a house that seems sealed?

Scorpions don’t need a big opening—they can slip through small gaps around doors, sliding tracks, garage corners, screens, and utility penetrations. This section gives a quick 10‑minute inspection checklist and explains “scorpion sealing” as a layered approach (door sweeps, weatherstripping, caulk/foam, and mesh where needed). It also briefly addresses vents and plumbing while keeping the focus on the most common real‑world pathways in how to prevent scorpions entering your home.
