Much better than those disgusting sticky traps.
This is by far the best way to catch these little b*$t%rds.
We were finding scorpions in our couch! Now that we're using Scorpion Detectors, we catch them before they make it that far.
I like seeing them turn on, night after night. Security guards that never quit.
The Scorpion Detectors are very easy to set up with the app and they work very well.
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.
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.
The mobile app is great, very easy to use. The pictures in the alerts are very helpful (and creepy).
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.
We got 2 alerts our first week! These things really work, what a good idea, so easy to use. Much better than sticky traps, thank you so much!
We can finally go on offense against these things instead of waiting to find them in our couch and shoes. It really helps us figure out where they're getting in. Love it.
Our 1 year old got stung in a room we never would have expected to find a scorpion. We ordered 5 scorpion detectors the next day.
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.
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.
It’s really easy to use. You just plug them in, set them up with your phone, and you’re done. We caught 4 scorpions already.
We’re in a new neighborhood with a lot of construction. Our Detectors are staying busy, but getting notifications is better than getting surprised.
Scorpion Alert is the only subscription we never consider canceling. It’s essential out here, especially with our kids and puppies.
This is a really great way to solve the scorpion problem. No mess, easy to use technology.
We haven’t come across a scorpion in our house unexpectedly since we started using this.
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.
Scorpions fluoresce under UV light, so a small blacklight (often strongest around 365nm) makes them much easier to spot in dim rooms. The fastest method is a perimeter-first sweep along baseboards, corners, and door thresholds, then a quick scan under bed edges, behind curtains, and around bathroom fixtures. It also highlights the most common hotel vs. Airbnb hiding spots in UV flashlight scorpion sweep steps.
Always carry a UV flashlight when cleaning after 8 p.m. — scorpions glow bright green under ultraviolet light. Check dark spaces before reaching in, look under furniture before moving it, and wear gloves when handling stored items. Most scorpion stings happen during evening cleaning activities. Get detailed night cleaning safety protocols for scorpion-prone homes to protect yourself while maintaining your space.
Yes—there is scorpion antivenom in the U.S., but it’s a hospital treatment given by IV, not something used at home. The main product is Anascorp, which is intended for Arizona bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus) stings, and it’s typically reserved for more serious cases. This overview in U.S. scorpion antivenom options also explains in plain English how antivenom works and why earlier treatment can matter.
You can often narrow down what it is from 2–6 feet away by focusing on quick features like color/markings, pincer thickness, tail thickness, size, and whether it climbs. The article also explains a safe photo protocol (top-down and side profile, plus a coin/key for scale) so a pro can ID it without you getting close. Follow these safe scorpion identification tips to reduce sting risk while gathering useful clues.
Scorpions fluoresce under UV light, which is why a 365nm UV flashlight can help you confirm where one is hiding during nighttime checks. For hands-off monitoring, automated detectors can activate when a room darkens, scan continuously at night, and send photo-verified alerts so you can respond quickly and safely. This UV scorpion detection at night overview covers practical options and what to do if you spot one.
A scorpion in the tub doesn’t prove it “swam up” the drain—many end up there because they wander along walls at night, slip in, and can’t climb out of the slick sides. Tub sightings often point to travel routes along baseboards or gaps around nearby fixtures rather than a “bathtub infestation.” This section also covers a safe, quick way to contain one without using bare hands in what to do if scorpion in bathtub.
