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.

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.

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.

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

What should I do right now if I find a live scorpion in a light fixture?

Start by keeping kids and pets away, and shut off the light switch plus the circuit breaker before touching the fixture. For live scorpions, use long tongs and a wide-mouth container to capture without putting hands near the tail, and avoid shaking the fixture. The step-by-step safe scorpion removal from light fixture instructions also explain when to stop and call a pest pro or electrician.

I just got a Scorpion Alert—does that mean a scorpion is in my house right now?

A Scorpion Alert is a recent, location-specific detection from a particular Detector, not a vague warning that “scorpions are active.” Alerts often happen at night because Detectors monitor when rooms darken and scorpions are most likely to be moving. The system is designed to reduce false positives with photo-verified alerts and confidence scoring—see what a Scorpion Alert means for details.

Can scorpions see in the dark—do they have night vision?

Scorpion eyes are more light-sensitive than detail-focused, so they can function in low light without “seeing you clearly” like a person would. They typically hunt and move at close range using a mix of light detection, motion cues, and non-visual senses like vibration and air movement. This guide on how scorpions navigate at night also explains why they often hug walls and baseboards indoors.

What should I do in the first 30 minutes after a scorpion sting while pregnant?

Stay calm, sit or lie down, wash the sting with soap and water, apply a cool compress, and remove rings or tight items near the area. Avoid risky “treatments” like cutting/sucking, tourniquets, alcohol, or running around trying to catch the scorpion. This first aid for scorpion sting guide also covers who to call (OB/Poison Control) and what details to write down to help clinicians triage you.

How much does the app cost?

The app itself is free. You pay for the monitoring service, which is what keeps your Scorpion Detectors working. Pricing is per Detector, per month, and the rate per Detector drops as you add more. The Detectors themselves are free as part of the subscription — we ship them on a rental basis, and you return them whenever you cancel. See the pricing page for current rates and a live calculator.

If I found one scorpion in my house, does that mean there are more?

Scorpions typically travel alone, but finding one indoors can mean nearby conditions support them (food, moisture, hiding spots), so “maybe” is the honest answer. A single scorpion could be a one-off wanderer—or the only one you happened to notice. This one scorpion means more guide explains what the first sighting does and doesn’t tell you, and why monitoring for the next 7–14 nights matters.
