From Our Customers
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.

I like seeing them turn on, night after night. Security guards that never quit.

5 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.

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.

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do scorpions really have eyes, or are they basically blind?
Scorpions aren’t blind—they have multiple eyes, typically a pair on top (median eyes) and additional eyes on the sides, though the exact number varies by species. Their vision is best for sensing light, contrast, and movement rather than sharp detail, which is why they can seem “blind” to people. This overview of do scorpions have eyes explains what their eyes can (and can’t) do and why being nocturnal doesn’t mean they’re sightless.
Why does a scorpion freeze under UV light instead of running, and what does that mean for me?
Under UV/blacklight, scorpions fluoresce and many will pause or “freeze,” which can make it feel like they’re not reacting the way you expect. That behavior can help you spot one safely, but it doesn’t guarantee you’ve found every scorpion—juveniles and hidden individuals can still be missed. The article shares a simple, safer sweep routine and also explains automated nighttime monitoring options in safe UV scorpion inspection tips.
How do I keep scorpions out of my house in California and know if they’re inside?
Prevention works best as a step-by-step plan: remove hiding spots, seal entry points, reduce the insects they feed on, and then monitor high-risk areas. The article includes a checklist for scorpion-prone zones like garages, bathrooms/laundry rooms, bedrooms, baseboards, and cluttered storage. For a practical rundown, see these California scorpion prevention steps, including ways to monitor at night without constant blacklight walks.
How do I scorpion-proof plumbing entry points step by step?
Start with the fastest wins: seal visible gaps around pipes and under-sink openings, then inspect and screen roof vent stacks if needed, and fix leaks or moisture that draws in insects (their food). The guide also explains how to verify whether your fixes are working by monitoring high-risk areas along room perimeters instead of relying on nightly searches. You’ll find a prioritized checklist in scorpion-proofing plumbing entry points.
When are scorpions most active in Marana?
Scorpions are primarily night-active, so Marana homeowners tend to notice them more during warm evenings and seasonal shifts that increase nighttime movement. During peak weeks, simple habits—decluttering floors, shaking out towels/shoes, and keeping doors shut—reduce surprise encounters. The Marana scorpion activity season section also explains practical monitoring options so you don’t feel like you have to do nightly blacklight walks.
Why do scorpions hide in houses even if I never see them?
Scorpions usually come indoors seeking shelter from temperature swings, moisture, and easy access to insect prey, then they tuck into dark, quiet, tight spaces. They also prefer staying in contact with surfaces on multiple sides (thigmotaxis), which is why they follow edges and hide in narrow gaps. That’s why you can have “no sightings” and still have one hidden in low-traffic zones—see the full breakdown in why scorpions hide indoors.
