It’s really easy to use. You just plug them in, set them up with your phone, and you’re done. We caught 4 scorpions already.

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.

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

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.

Why homeowners trust the system

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 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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do right away if I’m stung by a scorpion in Goodyear?

The article gives a calm, step-by-step plan for the first 10 minutes (clean the area, use a cool compress, stay calm and limit movement) and lists common mistakes to avoid. It also explains exactly when to call Poison Control, urgent care, or 911—especially for kids, seniors, medically fragile people, or severe symptoms. You’ll also see what information to gather for clinicians and how to document the scorpion safely in this Goodyear scorpion sting first aid checklist.

What should I do before setting up my Scorpion Detector?

Before you start, make sure you have the Scorpion Alert app installed and you know your Wi‑Fi name and password exactly as written (they’re case-sensitive). The biggest requirement is that Scorpion Detectors connect to 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi only, and setup works best when you pair one Detector at a time while standing a few feet away. This Scorpion Detector setup prep checklist also explains the optional child-protection screw and the best outlet height for an unobstructed view.

How can I detect scorpions at night without doing UV patrols every evening?

Continuous monitoring solves the problem that scorpions move while you sleep, so you’re not relying on occasional searches or discovering one days later. This section compares automated, photo-verified alerts to passive traps and explains how Scorpion Alert uses UV plus a two-stage AI process to reduce false positives, then notifies you via push (and optional SMS). It also covers where to place devices for the biggest payoff in this automated scorpion detection system.

When is scorpion season in Gilbert, and what should I do each month?

Scorpion activity in Gilbert tracks warm nights, then often spikes with monsoon humidity—so the worst weeks can follow rain and moisture changes, not just heat. This section outlines the most active times of night for inspections and gives a season-by-season plan (spring sealing, early-summer prey reduction, monsoon moisture control, fall maintenance, winter declutter/repairs). Use the Gilbert scorpion season calendar to prioritize what matters most as conditions shift.

What kind of scorpions live in Phoenix—and is it the bark scorpion?

Phoenix-area homeowners most often worry about the Arizona bark scorpion because it’s the species most associated with medically significant stings in the metro region. That said, sightings can involve multiple Maricopa County species, and you shouldn’t rely on color alone for identification — bark scorpions tend to be slender and tan with a thin tail, but a confident ID comes from shape and behavior together. This Phoenix scorpion species guide breaks down what to know.

What’s the safest way to find scorpion hiding spots—during the day vs. at night?

Daytime checks focus on finding harborage: use bright light, wear gloves and shoes, and move items with tools instead of reaching into tight spaces. Nighttime checks focus on movement routes, where a UV flashlight can help because scorpions fluoresce, and automated monitoring can reduce the need for nightly patrols. This safe scorpion hiding spot inspection section also covers where to place detectors along baseboards and entry-adjacent routes to reveal patterns quickly.
