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?

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.

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 can I tell how long a scorpion has been stuck on a glue trap?

You can’t get an exact timestamp, but you can narrow it down by looking at body condition (plump vs. shriveled), posture (minimal curl vs. extreme curl), and how brittle the legs seem—juveniles can dry out faster than adults. Indoor conditions matter too: dry AC air can “mummify” faster, while humidity can slow desiccation and change appearance, especially near bathrooms, garages, or vents. This estimate scorpion time in trap article also covers how dust/debris buildup and aging glue can hint at how long the trap has been out.

How can I get more useful scorpion alerts next time (placement, settings, troubleshooting)?

Better alerts usually come from better coverage—place Detectors near entry points (like doors/garage) and in high-priority rooms (bedrooms, nurseries, playrooms), and many homes do best with multiple units. You can also tune alert settings (like the confidence threshold) and use a distinctive alert sound so the notification is unmistakable. If a Detector goes offline or stops alerting, a quick checklist—power, Wi‑Fi, and 2.4GHz network—can restore monitoring; the full guidance is in Scorpion Alert placement and settings tips.

What’s the best way to keep scorpions out of my El Mirage home?

This section lays out a layered control plan built for how scorpions actually move—tight to edges, thresholds, and wall lines—so your efforts focus on the highest-probability routes. It prioritizes weekend-friendly exclusion (door sweeps, weatherstripping, sealing utility gaps), plus yard and block-wall realities that create steady hiding and prey corridors. It also explains monitoring placements that match perimeter-travel behavior, including optional automated detection tools, in the El Mirage scorpion prevention checklist.

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 freaking buyers out (but still be honest)?

Stick to professional-style communication: what was observed, what mitigation was done, and what the current plan is—backed by timestamps and receipts instead of emotional language. A “scorpion packet” (log, pest-control summary, exclusion photos, UV notes, and an ongoing plan) can turn vague fear into something buyers can evaluate. Some sellers also use monitoring during showings to reduce surprises and create a clean history; the scorpion disclosure packet for buyers section explains how to do that without over-signaling risk.
