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

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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
How can I protect my baby from scorpions at home?
Check your baby's play areas daily, especially along baseboards where scorpions travel. Never leave blankets or toys on the floor overnight, and inspect cribs before placing your infant inside. Many parents use UV detection to monitor nurseries, as detailed in this guide to protecting infants from scorpion stings in high-risk states.
How does pet food attract scorpions to my home?
Pet food doesn't attract scorpions directly — it attracts roaches, which are prime scorpion prey. Feed pets on a schedule, pick up bowls within 30 minutes, and store all pet food in sealed plastic containers. Learn more pet-related cleaning strategies to reduce scorpion activity and break the food chain that brings these predators indoors.
Can a scorpion chase me or outrun me if it runs toward me?
Scorpions don’t chase people like predators—most fast movement is an escape response to get back to cover. When one seems to run “at you,” it’s often trying to reach a wall or edge route (baseboards) and you happen to be in the way. This section explains why scorpions don’t chase humans and what to do instead of chasing it across the floor.
I just saw a scorpion in my house—what should I do first?
Your first minute matters: don’t panic, don’t take your eyes off it, and keep kids and pets out of the room. Isolate the area by closing interior doors, turning on lights, and putting on closed-toe shoes before you make any move. Use a safe tool (not your hands) and follow the step-by-step guidance in first steps after spotting a scorpion.
Can scorpions chase you or are they trying to attack?
Scorpions usually aren’t trying to pursue people—they’re typically fleeing toward cover, especially along walls and baseboards. Stings are most often defensive, like when one is stepped on, trapped in bedding/clothes, or handled. This can scorpions chase you breakdown explains why they “hug” edges and what to do if one bolts under furniture.
Do mother scorpions really carry their babies on their back?
Yes—scorpions give live birth, and the tiny newborn scorplings climb onto mom’s back for protection and a “free ride.” They typically stay there until their first molt, often about 1–2 weeks. If a mother scorpion wanders indoors, the babies can come with her, which is why mother scorpions carrying babies indoors can catch homeowners off guard.
