From Our Customers
Our 1 year old got stung in a room we never would have expected to find a scorpion. We ordered 5 scorpion detectors the next day.

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 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.

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 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!

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
Do scorpions really have eyes, or are they basically blind?
Scorpions aren’t blind—they have multiple eyes, typically a pair on top (median eyes) and additional eyes on the sides, though the exact number varies by species. Their vision is best for sensing light, contrast, and movement rather than sharp detail, which is why they can seem “blind” to people. This overview of do scorpions have eyes explains what their eyes can (and can’t) do and why being nocturnal doesn’t mean they’re sightless.
How can I detect scorpions at night without doing a UV patrol every evening?
If you want fewer surprises, you need visibility when scorpions are active—especially along room edges and near entry points. This section explains how automated monitoring can provide photo-verified alerts in seconds, helping you respond fast and measure whether your sealing and barrier work is actually reducing activity. It shows where detectors help most and how 24/7 scorpion detection alerts fits as the final layer in a 30-day plan.
How do I scorpion-proof plumbing entry points step by step?
Start with the fastest wins: seal visible gaps around pipes and under-sink openings, then inspect and screen roof vent stacks if needed, and fix leaks or moisture that draws in insects (their food). The guide also explains how to verify whether your fixes are working by monitoring high-risk areas along room perimeters instead of relying on nightly searches. You’ll find a prioritized checklist in scorpion-proofing plumbing entry points.
Why do scorpions hide in houses even if I never see them?
Scorpions usually come indoors seeking shelter from temperature swings, moisture, and easy access to insect prey, then they tuck into dark, quiet, tight spaces. They also prefer staying in contact with surfaces on multiple sides (thigmotaxis), which is why they follow edges and hide in narrow gaps. That’s why you can have “no sightings” and still have one hidden in low-traffic zones—see the full breakdown in why scorpions hide indoors.
What are Scorpion Alerts?
Scorpion Alerts are instant notifications sent to your phone when a Scorpion Detector identifies a scorpion inside your home. Each alert includes a photo and the location of the sighting, so you know exactly where the scorpion was detected and can take action right away. These alerts are designed to give families peace of mind and help prevent stings by making sure you’re aware of scorpions before they become a danger to children or pets.
Are scorpion stings more dangerous if you’re pregnant?
Most U.S. scorpion stings aren’t life-threatening, but pregnancy can make the situation feel more intense and may raise the need for medical evaluation. The bigger concerns are indirect effects like stress, dehydration, and how symptoms (nausea, sweating, fast heart rate) can overlap with pregnancy issues. This overview of scorpion sting risk in pregnancy also explains why the scorpion species matters and why monitoring may be recommended.
