3 to 8 years undetected

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.

The Scorpion Detectors are very easy to set up with the app and they work very well.

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.

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.

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

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!

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
How many eyes do scorpions have, and where are they located?
Scorpions have multiple simple eyes (ocelli), usually a main pair of median eyes on top of the cephalothorax and additional lateral eye pairs on the sides. Even with “more eyes,” their vision is low-resolution and geared more toward sensing light and movement than seeing sharp detail. This overview of scorpion eye placement and types explains why they still rely heavily on touch and vibration cues.
How hot is Phoenix really, and what does “indoor season” mean day to day?
This section explains what newcomers mean by “indoor season,” including how dry heat can still be dangerous, how surfaces get hot enough to burn, and how to shift errands, exercise, and pet time to safer hours. It also breaks down why summer electric bills spike (time-of-use rates, AC load) and gives quick ways to control costs in your first month. Get the full Phoenix heat survival and AC bill guide.
When are scorpions most active in Tempe, and what time do they come inside?
Tempe scorpions are most active on warm nights, and many indoor encounters happen after dark as they travel edges like baseboards and room corners. Activity can spike during the hottest parts of the year, but warm evenings can still produce sightings outside the “peak” window. The Tempe scorpion season and activity section breaks down what changes month to month and how weather can influence sightings.
We only see two or three scorpions a year. Is this right for us?
Maybe not. If you don't have young children or elderly guests, two or three might be tolerable. That said, scorpions are extremely resilient. Once they gain a foothold in your home, they don't retreat easily, and they often give birth to 25-35 offspring per mating season. For every one you happen to spot, you can assume a few more have recently found the same entry point or have been born in your home.
What should a smart scorpion detector do that a camera or motion sensor can’t?
To be useful at 2 a.m., an automated system needs actionable alerts—clear location context and photo proof—so you can verify it’s real without waking the whole house. It also has to minimize false positives and alert fatigue, because constant “motion detected” notifications are worse than no system at all. This section lays out the non-negotiables to look for in smart scorpion detection alert standards.
How fast can a scorpion run across a room?
Most scorpions move at a slow, steady pace when undisturbed, but they can do a short “panic sprint” when startled—fast enough to reach a baseboard crack or furniture edge before you react. Their real-world speed depends on species, temperature, and how much traction they get on your flooring. This scorpion speed in mph guide explains typical movement vs burst speed and why sightings feel so sudden at night.
