The mobile app is great, very easy to use. The pictures in the alerts are very helpful (and creepy).

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.

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?
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
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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What weather makes scorpions come inside (heat waves, monsoons, warm nights)?
The two biggest spikes are extreme heat (scorpions seek cooler, stable indoor temperatures) and monsoon moisture (displacement plus a surge in prey insects). This section focuses on timing—what to do before a heat wave and what to check the night after a storm—so you’re not reacting after the fact. The weather triggers for scorpions indoors breakdown also highlights their edge-travel behavior, so you know where to scan first.
When do scorpions mate, and can it happen inside my house?
Scorpions are nocturnal, so mating activity is more likely to be noticed on warm, dark nights when they’re already moving around looking for food and mates. It’s usually encountered outdoors, but if scorpions are indoors and conditions are favorable, mating can happen inside too—making any indoor sighting worth taking seriously. This when scorpions mate at night guide explains common triggers and what to do if you see a pair.
Why do scorpions glow under UV light, and what UV light works best to find them?
Scorpions fluoresce because of compounds in their exoskeleton, so they can glow green/cyan under UV light—making nighttime scanning surprisingly effective. A 365nm UV light typically produces a stronger glow, which helps you spot them faster along the perimeter routes they prefer (baseboards, corners, thresholds). For a practical walkthrough of where to scan and what to look for, see this UV blacklight scorpion spotting tips.
When are scorpions most active in Mesa, and what triggers more sightings?
Scorpions are most active during the warmer parts of the year and are typically seen after dark, which is why indoor encounters often happen at night. Heat spikes, monsoon humidity, and even backyard watering can increase movement by boosting moisture and prey insects, pushing scorpions to travel along walls and edges. The Mesa scorpion activity calendar breaks down what to expect by season and why certain nights seem “worse.”
Why do scorpions hug walls instead of walking across the room?
Scorpions often follow edges because they like staying in contact with surfaces like baseboards, corners, and tight trim gaps rather than crossing open floors. That wall-hugging behavior makes their movement more predictable, so you can focus your search on the perimeter first instead of scanning the middle of every room. This section breaks down why scorpions follow baseboards and when they might still cut across open spaces.
What kind of scorpion is in Amarillo, Texas—and how can I identify it?
The most commonly reported scorpion around Amarillo is the Striped Bark Scorpion, and recognizing it helps you focus your inspections where it’s most likely to hide. Basic ID cues include a lighter body with darker striping and a slimmer overall look compared to thicker, bulkier look-alikes. This Striped Bark Scorpion in Amarillo guide also covers common misidentifications and why scorpions may show up on walls and along edges.
