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

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

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 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!

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.

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

If my landlord won’t treat the scorpions, what should I do next?

Follow an escalation ladder: send an initial written notice with evidence, provide short incident updates, request invoices/work orders, and then make a formal follow-up if the issue isn’t being addressed. Big moves like breaking a lease or withholding rent can be highly procedural and fact-specific, so consider tenant advocacy or legal aid before acting. The steps when landlord won’t fix scorpions also includes immediate safety steps you can take tonight if you have to stay.

How do I connect a Scorpion Detector to my home Wi‑Fi in the app?

You’ll use the in-app wizard (Menu → Settings → Detectors → Setup) to plug in a Detector, join its temporary “Scorpion Detector” hotspot, then return to the app to enter your 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi credentials. After it connects, you’ll name the Detector by location so future alerts are immediately actionable, and you can optionally group devices by property using Locations. Follow the connect Scorpion Detector to Wi‑Fi steps to go from plug-in to saved device without pairing confusion.

How do I keep scorpions out of my Marana home?

Start with high-ROI exclusion: seal door gaps with proper sweeps, close up garage and plumbing penetrations, and address common structural entry points before relying on “repellent” fixes. Next, reduce prey and hiding spots by cutting down on clutter indoors and managing landscaping and debris near exterior walls. The keep scorpions out in Marana checklist also covers perimeter-focused monitoring, including hands-off UV-based detectors that alert you when activity is detected.

How can I prevent scorpion stings so we don’t have to worry about antivenom?

Prevention is the everyday solution: seal entry gaps, reduce clutter and harborage, control insects (their food source), and focus on high-risk entry points and room edges where scorpions travel. For night-time peace of mind, detection can add an early-warning layer—scorpions fluoresce under UV, and automated monitoring can help you find them without constant blacklight walks. This scorpion sting prevention checklist summarizes practical steps and what to do when you spot one.

How do I stop scorpions from coming back after I kill one?

After a sighting, focus on sealing entry points, reducing clutter/hiding spots, and cutting off food and water sources, then monitor the next few nights with UV checks along baseboards, thresholds, and corners. The section also compares sticky traps (and their drawbacks) with a monitoring hierarchy that includes automated detection for faster alerts before a scorpion disappears again. You’ll find a practical checklist and monitoring options in stop scorpions from coming back.

What happens at the ER for a scorpion sting—and how can I prevent another one?

At the ER, clinicians typically monitor vital signs, manage pain and muscle symptoms, and consider antivenom (like Anascorp) when symptoms are moderate/severe and consistent with significant envenomation. Many mild stings improve over time, while more intense neurologic symptoms may require observation until they resolve. This scorpion sting ER treatment overview also covers practical prevention steps like sealing gaps, reducing clutter, and keeping bedding/shoes off the floor.
