Scorpion Alert Setup Guide

November 15, 2025

Welcome to Scorpion Alert! Follow these steps to connect your Scorpion Detector and start keeping your home safe.

📱 Step 1 — Install the App

Download and install the Scorpion Alert mobile app from the App Store or Google Play.
Open the app and log in using your Google account (Apple Sign-In coming soon).

🔌 Step 2 — Power On Your Detector

Plug in one Scorpion Detector at a time. Use the lower plug on your electrical outlet. Optionally remove your electrical cover plate's existing center screw and secure your Scorpion Detector using the included electrical cover plate screw. It's the screw with the white head and is often used for child protection. If you'd like additional child protection, you may also insert the included white tab in the slot on the bottom of the Scorpion Detector and use the sheetrock screw to provide additional child protection.
Stay close to the detector while setting it up — within a few feet is ideal.

⚙️ Step 3 — Open the Setup Menu

In the Scorpion Alert app, tap the purple Menu arrow at the bottom of the screen.
Tap Settings → then tap Detectors.
Tap Setup to begin adding a new detector.

📶 Step 4 — Connect to the Detector’s Wi-Fi

The app will prompt you to switch Wi-Fi networks.
Go to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings and select the network named
Scorpion Detector.
Once connected, return to the Scorpion Alert app.

🏠 Step 5 — Enter Your Home Wi-Fi Details

In Step 2 of the app setup, enter your home Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.
💡 Tip: Make sure you enter your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network — Scorpion Detectors don’t support 5 GHz networks.

🏷 Step 6 — Name Your Detector

In Step 3, give your new detector a name that describes its location, such as:

Front Door Right
Playroom
Garage Entrance

🌎 Step 7 — (Optional) Assign a Location

If you only monitor one place (like your home), you can skip Step 4.

If you manage multiple locations, choose the right one here.

💾 Step 8 — Save and Finish

Tap Save New Detector.
Your phone may automatically reconnect to your home Wi-Fi.
If not, go back to your Wi-Fi settings and reconnect manually.

✅ Step 9 — Confirm Your Detector

Return to the Scorpion Alert app — you should now see your new detector listed.
Tap on it to open the live view.
You’ll see the camera feed pointing at the floor — that means it’s online and monitoring.

🎉 You’re All Set!

Your Scorpion Detector is now connected and ready to alert you when it detects scorpion movement at night.

You can add more detectors later by repeating these steps for each one.

It works exactly as I hoped it would. Please make something similar for snakes.

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

Should I call Poison Control, go to urgent care, or call 911 after a scorpion sting?

▼

If you’re unsure, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for personalized guidance and have age/weight, time of sting, symptoms, and any meds given ready. Go to urgent care/ER if symptoms are worsening or spreading (like numbness moving up the limb, uncontrolled twitching, repeated vomiting, or severe pain that isn’t improving), especially for stings near the face/neck or in higher-risk people. Call 911 for emergency symptoms such as trouble breathing, severe allergic reaction signs, seizure-like activity, inability to swallow, or altered consciousness—see this when to call 911 for a sting checklist.

How can I use scorpion glow for detection without doing nightly blacklight searches?

▼

If scorpions tend to travel along walls and baseboards, you can monitor those routes automatically instead of walking the house every night. Plug-in perimeter monitoring uses UV illumination in dark rooms plus a camera and confirmation logic to send photo-verified alerts so you can respond before the scorpion disappears. This automated UV scorpion detection overview covers how it works, where to place units, and how to make sure you hear alerts overnight.

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.
