How Do Scorpion Detectors Work?

Scorpions are highly evolved survivors—skilled at avoiding detection. But our Scorpion Detectors take advantage of a few key weaknesses: thigmotaxis and fluorescence.

What's Thigmotaxis?

Scorpions hunt by crawling along the edges of your rooms, a behavior known as thigmotaxis. It helps them find hiding spots and navigate in the dark, when they're most active.

As they crawl along your baseboards, they'll pass directly beneath Scorpion Detectors plugged into your standard wall outlets.

What's Fluorescence?

When exposed to UV light in the dark, a scorpion’s exoskeleton glows. This phenomenon is called fluorescence.

When a room gets dark, Scorpion Detectors silently activate discrete low-power UV lights, making scorpions glow as they pass below. If the color and shape of the glow confirm it's a scorpion, you're alerted instantly.

How Do Detectors Send Alerts To My Phone?

Scorpion Detectors connect to your home's Wi-Fi network and send images of detected scorpions to our AI-powered image recognition cloud for confirmation.

Once an image is received, it takes about 2 seconds for confirmation and alert delivery. Alerts can be sent to multiple people and devices if you wish.

Are Detectors Childproof?

Absolutely. We understand young children are curious. To protect them, you can optionally screw your Scorpion Detectors into your electrical outlet's existing screw hole.

For extra protection, the Detector can also be secured with a child protection tab below the electrical plug.

Benefits of Scorpion Detectors

Effective, Adaptive

As our detection technology evolves, our Scorpion Detectors auto-update to ensure their software is always current.

Low Power, Low Cost

Our Scorpion Detectors draw very little power. For each Detector, you can expect an energy cost of about $1 per year.

No Damage, Mess, or Fuss

Unlike sticky traps, chemicals, diatomaceous earth, and other common methods for combatting scorpions, Detectors create no hassle and work better.

Discrete, Dependable

With no moving parts and no heat generation, Scorpion Detectors are completely silent and last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Why not just use sticky traps?

If you have young children, pets, or robotic vacuums, you probably already know why. Even if you don't, sticky traps often collect everything but scorpions right at the edge. This often becomes an attractive food source for scorpions without ever trapping them, making your scorpion problem worse.

We only see two or three scorpions a year. Is this right for us?

Maybe not. If you don't have young children or elderly guests, two or three might be tolerable. That said, scorpions are extremely resilient. Once they gain a foothold in your home, they don't retreat easily, and they often give birth to 25-35 offspring per mating season. For every one you happen to spot, you can assume a few more have recently found the same entry point or have been born in your home.

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.

Why don't Scorpion Detectors shoot lasers or missles or kill 'em somehow.

It's a common request and we get it, but our first priority is your family's safety. Our second priority is our 'no damage, no mess, no fuss' promise. Our third priority is making this affordable and dependable. This rules out spraying, slicing, shooting, crushing, or vaporizing them. As our techology evolves, we'll be the first to let you know when there's an automated way to eliminate the threat.

What are scorpion Detectors

Scorpion Detectors are smart devices that plug into a wall outlet and continuously monitor your home for scorpions. Each detector uses safe UV lighting and a small camera to scan the floor when the room is dark. If a scorpion is identified, the detector instantly sends an alert with a photo to your phone through the Scorpion Alert app. This gives you the chance to respond before the scorpion hides or someone gets stung. Scorpion Detectors are designed to provide peace of mind, protect children and pets, and help homeowners in scorpion-prone areas feel safer indoors.
