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.

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

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.

Super easy setup. We just plugged the Scorpion Detectors in, set them up with my phone, and that was it. I love the live feed on my phone to let me know they're always watching.

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.

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

How do scorpions get into bathrooms and under sinks?

Most scorpions show up near sinks and tubs because they slip through small gaps around pipe penetrations, cabinet cutouts, wall voids, and unsealed trim plates—not because they’re “swimming up” a pipe. They also tend to hug walls as they travel, so baseboards and plumbing openings become common routes. This section shows the most likely entry points (including vent stacks) in how scorpions enter bathrooms.

Why are scorpions showing up in my house all of a sudden?

Scorpions often wander indoors because homes provide water, prey (like crickets or roaches), and tight hiding spots, especially during seasonal activity. They’re also most active at night and tend to move along walls and baseboards, which is why edge-focused prevention works better than random spraying. This why scorpions come inside guide explains the layered approach: exclude, reduce habitat, and monitor.

Why can’t I sleep after finding a scorpion—am I overreacting?

Many people fall into hypervigilance—rechecking shoes, bedding, and corners—because the brain tries to prevent a repeat scare, especially at night. Sleep loss then amplifies anxiety, irritability, and hopelessness, creating a loop that makes everything feel worse than it is. This section also offers a simple bedtime “reset” that limits checks without ignoring safety in sleep anxiety after scorpion sighting.

How can I tell what kind of scorpion I found in my house?

Basic identification helps you gauge risk, decide how urgently to act, and know what symptoms to watch for—but color and size can be misleading. Focus on homeowner-friendly traits like pincer shape, tail thickness, overall build, markings, and behavior, and use where you found it as a clue to travel routes (not species). For a practical checklist and safety reminders, follow this home scorpion ID checklist.

What should I do right after I find a scorpion in my house?

Focus on reducing sting risk in the next few minutes: safely contain it using a glass-and-paper method instead of trying to grab it or chase it into a crack. Then do a quick nighttime safety reset—shake out shoes, pull beds slightly away from walls, and pick up floor clutter and laundry piles. This steps after finding a scorpion also covers what to watch for if someone is stung and when to seek medical help.

Does construction actually drive scorpions into houses?

Yes—grading, trenching, and landscaping can destroy shelter zones and displace scorpions into the nearest cool, stable structure, which is often a newly finished home. Instead of a one-time event, ongoing builds can create repeated waves as more lots are disturbed. This construction displacement scorpion explanation also covers why scorpions follow edges and end up along baseboards, thresholds, and wall lines.
