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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if it was a one-time scorpion or an ongoing problem?
The most reliable way is to track activity for 7–14 nights so you’re responding to patterns, not panic. This section shows what to log (date/time, room, exact spot, nearby routes), what counts as strong evidence (repeats in the same zone, multiple rooms, juveniles), and how to use UV sweeps and glue traps as short-term “sampling” tools in the 7 to 14 night scorpion plan.
What areas should I clean most often to prevent scorpions?
Focus on three key zones: behind toilets where condensation creates moisture, under kitchen appliances where crumbs accumulate, and around washing machines where lint and dampness attract crickets. These areas support the insects scorpions hunt. For a complete strategic cleaning guide for scorpion prevention, including monthly schedules and safety tips for night cleaning.
How can you tell if a scorpion in Travis County is dangerous?
Look at the pincers and coloring. Striped bark scorpions have small, slender pincers and yellowish color with two stripes — they're venomous but rarely life-threatening. Cave scorpions have thick pincers and darker coloring. For detailed identification tips specific to Central Texas scorpion species, including size variations and behavior patterns that indicate risk level.
Are brown scorpions in Texas poisonous or venomous?
Most people mean “venomous,” because scorpions inject venom with a stinger rather than harming you by being touched or eaten. This distinction helps you focus on sting symptoms, first aid, and when to seek medical advice—especially for kids, seniors, pets, or anyone with a severe reaction. See brown scorpions in Texas venom risk for what to expect and why species ID matters.
I found a scorpion in my house—does that mean there are more?
One scorpion can be a lone wanderer, but it can also be a clue that your home has the moisture, hiding spots, and insect activity that can support repeat encounters. “More” doesn’t always mean a nest—scorpions are usually solitary, yet multiple individuals may use the same favorable areas over time. This section explains when scorpion sightings mean more and what to check next.
Does regular house cleaning really stop scorpions from coming inside?
Cleaning doesn't repel scorpions directly, but it breaks the food chain that attracts them. Crumbs feed ants, ants feed spiders, and spiders are a scorpion's favorite meal. By eliminating food sources and moisture, you remove the reason scorpions enter homes. Learn specific cleaning techniques that target scorpion prey and make your home less attractive to these nighttime hunters.
