We tried everything. Pest control companies, glue traps, powders. None of it worked as well as this.

Common questions

Need quick answers?

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.

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.

How dangerous are scorpion stings to humans?

Most scorpion stings cause pain, swelling, and numbness lasting 24-48 hours, but are rarely fatal. Globally, about 1.5 million stings occur annually, with around 2,600 deaths, mainly from species like the deathstalker (Leiurus quinquestriatus) in regions without medical access.

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.

How does moisture control help keep scorpions out?

Water attracts bugs, and bugs attract scorpions. Wipe down showers after use, fix dripping faucets, and use dehumidifiers to keep indoor humidity below 50%. These simple moisture control cleaning habits remove one of the main reasons scorpions enter homes in Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico.

Can scorpions really crawl through air conditioning vents?

Yes, scorpions can enter homes through AC vents, especially return air vents that create slight vacuum pressure. They use their strong pincers to grip smooth duct surfaces and follow the enclosed pathways. Learn more about how scorpions navigate HVAC systems and what you can do to prevent it.
