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.

It works exactly as I hoped it would. Please make something similar for snakes.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do scorpions hide in toddler play areas?
Scorpions love hiding in toy boxes, under stuffed animals, inside playhouses, and behind furniture where toys accumulate. They're drawn to dark, undisturbed spots that toddlers frequently explore. Learn about creating safe play zones for toddlers in scorpion territory to minimize these dangerous encounters.
Should I use UV light when cleaning at night in scorpion areas?
Yes, always carry a UV flashlight when cleaning dark areas after sunset. Scorpions glow bright green under ultraviolet light, making them visible before you accidentally touch one. This precaution is especially important when following nighttime cleaning routines in scorpion-prone homes across the Southwest.
How do I protect my toddler's crib from scorpions?
Pull the crib at least 6 inches from walls and wrap legs with double-sided tape facing outward. Tuck all bedding tightly so nothing touches the floor where scorpions travel. For extra protection, scorpion-proofing strategies for toddler sleep spaces include using metal crib legs or placing legs in glass jars.
What makes toddlers more vulnerable to scorpion stings than adults?
Toddlers explore at floor level where scorpions travel, can't recognize danger, and often go barefoot. Their small body weight means the same amount of venom affects them more severely than adults. Understanding why toddlers face unique scorpion risks helps parents take appropriate precautions in Southwest homes.
How do I stop scorpions from coming through my AC vents?
Seal gaps around your outdoor AC unit with steel wool and caulk, install fine mesh screens over exterior vents, and use pest exclusion filters behind interior vent covers. Professional scorpion sealing provides the most comprehensive protection. Get detailed instructions on preventing scorpions from entering through AC vents.
What are the signs of scorpions in my air ducts?
Look for dark debris around vent edges, dead insects near openings, or shed exoskeleton fragments. These indicate scorpion activity in your ductwork. Finding one scorpion often means others may be present since they follow pheromone trails. Discover the warning signs of scorpions in your vents and effective prevention strategies.
