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.

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 in winter to prevent scorpions now so spring isn’t a surprise?

Winter is a good time to seal entry points, reduce cluttered hiding spots, and manage moisture that attracts the insects scorpions feed on. Focus on door sweeps, weather stripping, gaps around plumbing, and keeping storage off the floor—especially in the garage. This winter scorpion prevention checklist outlines a simple plan you can tackle in a weekend.

Why do most scorpion stings happen during evening cleaning?

Scorpions become active between 8 p.m. and midnight — exactly when many people tackle household chores. Reaching under sinks or moving items without checking first causes most cleaning-related stings. Always carry a UV flashlight after dark since scorpions glow bright green under ultraviolet light. Learn more safe cleaning practices for scorpion country.

Do scorpions hibernate in the winter, or can they still show up in my house?

Scorpions don’t truly hibernate the way bears do; they often enter a slowdown called diapause when temperatures drop and prey is scarce. That means you may see fewer scorpions, but indoor spaces with steady heat can keep them active enough for occasional encounters. This scorpion winter diapause explained guide breaks down why winter sightings still happen.

Should I use antivenom for a baby's scorpion sting?

Only emergency room doctors should decide about antivenom (Anascorp) for infants. The treatment works remarkably fast but requires professional administration and monitoring. Never attempt home remedies—take your baby to the ER immediately where staff can assess whether emergency treatment for infant scorpion stings requires antivenom based on symptom severity.

What areas of my home should I focus on cleaning to prevent scorpions?

Focus on three key zones: behind toilets where condensation attracts prey insects, under kitchen appliances where crumbs accumulate, and around washing machines where lint and moisture create cricket habitat. These strategic cleaning tips for scorpion prevention target the specific areas where scorpions hunt rather than requiring obsessive whole-house cleaning.

Do scorpion repellents actually work, or are they mostly hype?

Most “scorpion repellents” don’t create a magic barrier—at best they reduce sightings when paired with other steps. Scorpions are hardy, shelter-seeking, and often avoid enough contact with products for quick knockdown, so results can fade over time. This section sets realistic expectations and previews a layered plan in these scorpion repellent myths explained.
