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.

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.
Leticia

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
Do scorpions have good eyesight?
Scorpions have poor eyesight, with 2-12 simple eyes that detect light and movement but not detailed images. They rely more on vibrations sensed through hairs on their body and pincers.
Are all scorpions venomous?
Yes, all scorpions produce venom, which they use for hunting and defense. However, only about 30-40 species have venom potent enough to be dangerous to humans; most stings are comparable to a bee sting.
How do scorpions reproduce?
Scorpions reproduce sexually through a courtship "dance" where the male deposits a spermatophore. Females give birth to live young (viviparous), carrying 2-100 babies on their back until their first molt.
Where do scorpions live?
Scorpions are found on every continent except Antarctica, thriving in diverse habitats like deserts, rainforests, mountains, caves, and even intertidal zones. They prefer warm, dry areas but can adapt to high elevations up to 5,500 meters.
What are scorpions?
Scorpions are predatory arachnids (related to spiders and ticks) with eight legs, a pair of grasping pincers, and a segmented tail ending in a venomous stinger. They belong to the order Scorpiones and have existed for over 400 million years.
What should I do if I'm stung by a scorpion?
Clean the area with soap and water, apply a cold compress, and elevate the limb. Seek medical help if symptoms worsen (e.g., difficulty breathing, muscle spasms), especially for children or the elderly. Antivenom may be needed for severe cases.
