From Our Customers
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.

14 scorpions detected
Our 1 year old got stung in a room we never would have expected to find a scorpion. We ordered 5 scorpion detectors the next day.

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.

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?
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.

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’s the best way to control scorpions in a Gilbert home—DIY, pest control, or monitoring?
The best plan combines four layers: reduce outdoor harborage, seal entry points, cut down prey insects, and verify results with consistent monitoring. This section compares what DIY sealing and targeted treatments can realistically do versus recurring professional service, and why tracking sightings before/after changes matters for measurable progress. It also explains how automated detection can add peace of mind at night and where to place devices for the most useful alerts in the Gilbert scorpion control plan guide.
I found a scorpion inside—what should I do right now, and how do I prevent more?
Start by keeping your distance, protecting hands and feet (especially at night), and keeping kids/pets away—don’t handle a scorpion to “test” its pincers or try risky close-up ID. To cut repeat sightings, focus on quick wins like decluttering edges, sealing obvious gaps, and reducing insect prey and moisture sources. For peace of mind at night, perimeter monitoring can help because scorpions commonly travel along room edges, and UV-based detection can provide photo-verified alerts; here’s what to do after spotting scorpions.
How can I detect a scorpion fast if it still gets inside?
Fast detection works best at night and along the perimeter where scorpions travel, using multi-point coverage near doors, bedrooms, and moisture areas like bathrooms or laundry rooms. Sticky traps can help, but real-time monitoring can alert you within seconds rather than the next morning; Scorpion Alert, for example, uses 365nm UV to make scorpions glow and sends photo-verified alerts with an AI confidence percentage. This guide to real-time scorpion detection alerts also lays out a calm capture plan so you can respond safely.
What do I do if setup fails or my Detector shows offline?
Start with the most common causes: you may be trying to join 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz, your Wi‑Fi password may be mistyped, or the signal may be too weak where it’s plugged in. Refresh the device list, rerun setup, and temporarily move the Detector closer to the router to rule out coverage issues; also note that some real-time status features can require your phone to be on the same Wi‑Fi. This Scorpion Detector offline troubleshooting guide ends with when to update Wi‑Fi settings and what to send support if the problem persists.
How do I disclose scorpions without scaring buyers off or killing the deal?
The goal is to disclose clearly and pair it with a practical mitigation plan (sealing work, a pest control contract, and any inspection results) so buyers see a managed risk instead of a mystery. Sellers often do best by offering specific, verifiable concessions (like paying for sealing or prepaying service) rather than vague credits that suggest the problem is unresolved. This keep scorpion disclosure from killing deal section also explains how monitoring tools like Scorpion Alert can be positioned as reassurance, not a red flag.
How can I tell if it was a bark scorpion sting or a spider bite—and how do I prevent another sting tonight?
Bark scorpion stings often cause intense pain and neurologic sensations with little or no visible skin mark, while many spider bites are more likely to show a noticeable wound or progressive skin damage (though exceptions exist). If you try to locate the scorpion, do it safely—avoid bare hands and use a container method rather than rummaging. For immediate peace of mind, this prevent another scorpion sting tonight checklist covers quick steps like shaking out shoes and bedding, reducing floor clutter, and checking room perimeters.
