About Us

We help families detect scorpions in their homes before it's too late.

Our Mission

We’re dedicated to delivering safety, reliability, and affordable peace of mind with no mess, no fuss. Our Scorpion Detectors help you spot scorpions early so you can act quickly and avoid surprises.

Why did we start this company?

Our infant son was stung twice in the leg, in the last room we ever thought we'd find a scorpion. No windows. No vents. No plumbing. Just a quiet playroom full of toys.

We had sticky traps throughout the house, and we checked them often. But that scorpion had wandered far deeper into our home than we thought possible. Who knows how long it had been living among us.

That day changed everything. Sticky traps weren’t enough. We needed a better way to detect scorpions early.

Who do we help?

Our solution was built with families in mind—especially parents with small children or pets. But we don’t stop there. Scorpion Alert also protects:

  • Airbnbs and vacation rentals, where guest safety is a top priority
  • Hotels, where a single sting could lead to liability or bad reviews
  • Restaurants and commercial kitchens, where pests should never be part of the story
  • Offices and retail spaces, where employees and customers deserve a safe environment
Scorpion Alert customers: homeowners, hotels, restaurants, offices.

How does Scorpion Alert work?

It's simple. Plug a few Scorpion Detectors into your standard wall outlets around your home. Secure them with child safety screws when needed.

When a room gets dark, Scorpion Detectors illuminate the floor below with UV LED lights, making scorpions glow. When their glow is detected, you receive an instant alert with a picture and location of the scorpion.

We’re in a new neighborhood with a lot of construction. Our Detectors are staying busy, but getting notifications is better than getting surprised.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I get an alert while I'm asleep?

This is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer to be woken up. In this case, they use our 'Override Silent Mode' setting to ensure their phone sounds the alarm when an alert is received.

Can multiple family members get alerts?

Yes. There are no limits to the number of people you can add to your account. They'll receive push notifications by simply by installing the app and joining your account.

How much does the app cost?

It's free, but our $5 monthly or $50 annual subscription is required to keep your Scorpion Detectors working.

Does the app work even when I'm not home?

Yes. You don't need to be home to receive alerts about scorpions in your home. As long as your phone has a signal, you'll receive alerts.

Why don't Scorpion Detectors shoot lasers or missles or kill 'em somehow.

It's a common request and we get it, but our first priority is your family's safety. Our second priority is our 'no damage, no mess, no fuss' promise. Our third priority is making this affordable and dependable. This rules out spraying, slicing, shooting, crushing, or vaporizing them. As our techology evolves, we'll be the first to let you know when there's an automated way to eliminate the threat.

Do scorpions avoid UV light?

Not much is known about why scorpions glow under UV light, but some theories suggest that although they can't see it, they can 'feel' it when it's bright. Our Scorpion Detectors emit just enough UV light to illuminate them, but not enough to make them avoid it.

Why is there a monthly subscription?

The Scorpion Detectors you plug in around your house are your front line of defense, but they don't work alone. They're supported by our cloud-based AI assistant. They get regular health checks and performance updates to make sure they improve, adapt, and evolve automatically.

We only see two or three scorpions a year. Is this right for us?

Maybe not. If you don't have young children or elderly guests, two or three might be tolerable. That said, scorpions are extremely resilient. Once they gain a foothold in your home, they don't retreat easily, and they often give birth to 25-35 offspring per mating season. For every one you happen to spot, you can assume a few more have recently found the same entry point or have been born in your home.

Why not just use sticky traps?

If you have young children, pets, or robotic vacuums, you probably already know why. Even if you don't, sticky traps often collect everything but scorpions right at the edge. This often becomes an attractive food source for scorpions without ever trapping them, making your scorpion problem worse.

Why do Scorpion Detectors create a faint purple light?

The faint purple light is UV light, which makes scorpions glow in the dark. Our AI analyzes what's glowing to ensure it's really a scorpion before sending you an alert. False alarms are...alarming, so we've trained our detection models to grab your attention only when necessary.
