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

We were finding scorpions in our couch! Now that we're using Scorpion Detectors, we catch them before they make it that far.

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?

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 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

What kind of smell do scorpions hate?

Cedar, lavender, and peppermint essential oils repel scorpions in lab tests, but the effect fades quickly outdoors — typically within 1–2 weeks.

What kills scorpions instantly?

Direct contact with concentrated permethrin or hard physical impact. Most over-the-counter sprays only stun briefly before the scorpion recovers.

How many species of scorpions are there?

There are over 2,500 described species of scorpions, divided into about 22 families, with new ones still being discovered through genomic studies.

Are scorpions aggressive towards humans?

No, scorpions are not aggressive; they sting only in self-defense when threatened or accidentally disturbed. They prefer to flee or hide rather than attack.

Can scorpions survive without food for long periods?

Yes, scorpions can slow their metabolism dramatically, surviving up to a year on just one insect. They can also go months without food if they have access to water.

Can multiple family members get alerts?

Yes. There are no limits to the number of people you can add to your account. They'll receive push notifications by simply by installing the app and joining your account.
