Common questions

Need quick answers?

Can scorpions climb walls or ceilings?

Yes. Many scorpions, especially the bark scorpion, can climb walls, ceilings, and even bed skirts, thanks to tiny gripping hairs on their legs. Learn more with our article titled Do Scorpions Climb Walls, Beds, or Ceilings?

What role do scorpions play in the ecosystem?

Scorpions are important predators, controlling insect populations and serving as prey for birds, reptiles, and mammals. They contribute to biodiversity and are studied for medical applications, like venom-derived drugs for pain relief or cancer treatment.

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.

Where are scorpions most commonly found in homes?

Scorpions in the Southwest often enter through cracks near baseboards, plumbing, and vents. They tend to hide in dark, cool places like closets, garages, and under furniture. Learn more by reading our article titled Where Do Scorpions Like To Hide In Your Home?

How do scorpions get inside the house?

They squeeze through tiny cracks—often as small as 1/16 inch. Common entry points include door sweeps, dryer vents, foundation gaps, and poorly sealed windows. Learn more with our article titled How To Keep Scorpions Out Of Your House

Can scorpions climb walls?

Many scorpions, especially species like the Arizona bark scorpion, can climb smooth surfaces like walls, glass, and trees using tiny hairs and claws on their legs. They cannot climb completely smooth, polished surfaces without texture.
