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.

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

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
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.

The picture and location that come with an alert is so helpful in figuring out where the scorpion is going. It usually hasn't traveled very far by the time I get there.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually keeps scorpions out of my house long-term?
Long-term control starts with blocking entry points (door sweeps, weatherstripping, caulk, and sealing utility penetrations), then reducing harborage near the foundation and cutting down prey insects that attract scorpions. A quick inspection method is using a flashlight and a credit-card-gap test at doors to find high-leverage leaks first. For a weekend-friendly checklist you can follow in order, use this long-term scorpion exclusion checklist.
Do UV blacklights really help you find scorpions at night, and how do I use one?
Yes—scorpions fluoresce under UV light, which can make nighttime searches much easier when you sweep slowly along baseboards, thresholds, corners, and other travel lanes. This section also covers where to look first (bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry, kitchen edges, and garages) and why UV is best for spotting scorpions, while white-light photos are often better for markings. For a step-by-step approach, see this UV blacklight scorpion search method.
How can I detect scorpions fast—and how do I know if my house is infested?
Detection works best when you monitor the routes scorpions actually use: along walls, door thresholds, hallway bottlenecks, and moisture areas like bathrooms or laundry rooms. Sticky traps can confirm activity, while real-time alerts can shorten the time a scorpion has to reach bedrooms before you notice it. This how to detect scorpions quickly section also defines “infested” in practical terms and gives an escalation plan for recurring sightings.
How do I keep scorpions out of my house in Lubbock?
Start with exclusion (door sweeps, weatherstripping, sealing gaps around frames and penetrations), then reduce what attracts them by cutting down insects, clutter, and moist harborage areas around the yard and garage. Because scorpions often patrol along walls at night, targeted monitoring can confirm whether activity is ongoing and where they’re getting in. This Lubbock scorpion prevention checklist breaks down fast wins and practical next steps.
If diatomaceous earth isn’t enough, what actually protects you from scorpions at night?
Because DE is slow and can be unreliable, better night-time protection comes from a layered plan: reduce hiding spots and prey, seal entry gaps, and use monitoring so you can find scorpions while they’re actively roaming. Scorpion Alert’s approach complements DIY barriers by using 365nm UV to scan room edges and send photo-verified alerts, helping reduce surprise encounters. Get the full step-by-step plan in this scorpion protection beyond DE guide.
What should a smart scorpion detector do that cameras and traps can’t?
Most cameras struggle with scorpions because they’re small, low-contrast targets in poor night lighting, and generic motion alerts aren’t scorpion-specific. A useful detector should send an actionable alert—photo, exact location/name, timestamp, and a confidence score—so you can decide quickly at 2 a.m. It also covers why sticky traps can be messy, risky around kids/pets, and may even attract prey insects, in smart scorpion detector alert features.
