Much better than those disgusting sticky traps.
It works exactly as I hoped it would. Please make something similar for snakes.
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.
Your alert history shows details of each alert. Each one contains a picture of the scorpion, the name of the Detector that spotted it, and the exact time and date of the alert.
Each Scorpion Detector also remembers how many scorpions it has detected. This can help you understand where more scorpions may be entering your home.
Normally, you don't want your phone waking you up. But if a scorpion gets in, maybe you do. Our app lets you decide if you want a custom alert sound to grab your attention.
You can also choose to receive Scorpion Alerts through text messages. This can be useful for additional family members who don't have the app but still want alerts.
Our mobile app makes it easy to set up and manage your Scorpion Detectors. Just give each Detector a name that will let you know what room it's in, connect it to your home's Wi-Fi, and you're done.
Over time, your alert history reveals where scorpions are getting in. As you seal those entry points, you might relocate your Scorpion Detectors to other rooms. When you do, our app makes it easy to rename them and stay organized.
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.
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.
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.
Scorpions usually end up indoors because they’re following prey insects, escaping heat/cold, and “edge-walking” along walls and thresholds until they find a gap. They’re not trying to move in permanently—one indoor sighting is a sign to reduce the opportunities that let them wander inside. The most effective fixes focus on sealing edge routes and eliminating the outdoor pressure described in this why scorpions enter homes guide.
Crushing can leave a messy residue that attracts scavenging insects (like ants), which can indirectly support scorpion activity, so immediate cleanup matters. Sprays generally don’t “attract” scorpions, but they can shift where insects move and make it seem like more scorpions are appearing; sticky traps can also collect insects that draw scorpions to the area—see least-attractive scorpion killing methods for practical tradeoffs.
Focus on a simple Week 1 plan: buy a 365nm UV flashlight, then spend a few minutes each night checking edges (walls, thresholds, garage line) when scorpions are most active. During the day, knock out high-impact gap fixes—door sweeps with tight threshold contact, quick caulk in baseboard and pipe gaps, and copper mesh for weep holes and other openings. The first-week scorpion reduction plan breaks this into manageable daily actions.
Start by observing from a safe distance, then take a quick photo and note a few traits (pincers, tail thickness, color/pattern, body shape, and where you found it). Climbing behavior can be a helpful clue, but it’s only one data point—focus on shape traits first and don’t rely on size since juveniles can fool you. This step-by-step process is exactly what the how to use a scorpion ID chart walkthrough is designed to make repeatable.
Prevention works best as a step-by-step plan: remove hiding spots, seal entry points, reduce the insects they feed on, and then monitor high-risk areas. The article includes a checklist for scorpion-prone zones like garages, bathrooms/laundry rooms, bedrooms, baseboards, and cluttered storage. For a practical rundown, see these California scorpion prevention steps, including ways to monitor at night without constant blacklight walks.
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.
