We can finally go on offense against these things instead of waiting to find them in our couch and shoes. It really helps us figure out where they're getting in. Love it.

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 don’t get as many alerts any more now that we’ve figured out how to seal up our vents, but we were getting a lot of alerts in the beginning.

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What are scorpions?

Scorpions are predatory arachnids (related to spiders and ticks) with eight legs, a pair of grasping pincers, and a segmented tail ending in a venomous stinger. They belong to the order Scorpiones and have existed for over 400 million years.

What should I do if I'm stung by a scorpion?

Clean the area with soap and water, apply a cold compress, and elevate the limb. Seek medical help if symptoms worsen (e.g., difficulty breathing, muscle spasms), especially for children or the elderly. Antivenom may be needed for severe cases.

What do scorpions eat?

Scorpions are carnivorous, primarily feeding on insects, spiders, and other small arthropods. Larger species may eat lizards, snakes, or small mammals. They use their pincers to capture prey and inject venom to subdue it before digesting externally.

Can scorpions climb walls or ceilings?

Yes. Many scorpions, especially the bark scorpion, can climb walls, ceilings, and even bed skirts, thanks to tiny gripping hairs on their legs. Learn more with our article titled Do Scorpions Climb Walls, Beds, or Ceilings?

What role do scorpions play in the ecosystem?

Scorpions are important predators, controlling insect populations and serving as prey for birds, reptiles, and mammals. They contribute to biodiversity and are studied for medical applications, like venom-derived drugs for pain relief or cancer treatment.

Do scorpions avoid UV light?

Not much is known about why scorpions glow under UV light, but some theories suggest that although they can't see it, they can 'feel' it when it's bright. Our Scorpion Detectors emit just enough UV light to illuminate them, but not enough to make them avoid it.
