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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 areas should I clean most often to prevent scorpions?

Focus on three key hunting zones: behind toilets where condensation attracts prey, under kitchen appliances where crumbs accumulate, and around washing machines where lint and moisture create insect habitat. Weekly vacuuming along these baseboards disrupts scorpion travel routes. Get the full scorpion-proof cleaning strategy for your Southwest home.

Can scorpions really get into hotel rooms or Airbnbs?

It’s uncommon, but scorpions can end up indoors—especially in desert areas—so a quick check is worth doing before you unpack. Ground-floor rooms, older buildings, and places with rock landscaping, garages, or laundry areas tend to have more gaps and hiding spots. This guide explains what to look for and when to check in check hotel rooms for scorpions.

Should I use antivenom for a baby's scorpion sting?

Only emergency room doctors should decide about antivenom (Anascorp) for infants. The treatment works remarkably fast but requires professional administration and monitoring. Never attempt home remedies—take your baby to the ER immediately where staff can assess whether emergency treatment for infant scorpion stings requires antivenom based on symptom severity.

What areas of my home should I focus on cleaning to prevent scorpions?

Focus on three key zones: behind toilets where condensation attracts prey insects, under kitchen appliances where crumbs accumulate, and around washing machines where lint and moisture create cricket habitat. These strategic cleaning tips for scorpion prevention target the specific areas where scorpions hunt rather than requiring obsessive whole-house cleaning.

Do scorpion repellents actually work, or are they mostly hype?

Most “scorpion repellents” don’t create a magic barrier—at best they reduce sightings when paired with other steps. Scorpions are hardy, shelter-seeking, and often avoid enough contact with products for quick knockdown, so results can fade over time. This section sets realistic expectations and previews a layered plan in these scorpion repellent myths explained.

How do I prove a scorpion problem to my landlord so they can’t ignore it?

This section gives a practical, tonight-style documentation plan: photos with timestamps, exact locations, a sighting log, and saving any sting/medical paperwork. It also explains how a blacklight walkthrough can create clear, actionable evidence and why a written paper trail (email/tenant portal) matters. Follow the checklist in document a scorpion infestation.
