Don’t Let Scorpions Take Shelter Where You Live
Scorpions are more than just creepy—they can pose a real threat to your health and safety, especially in warm, dry climates. Often found hiding in dark, cool areas like garages, closets, under furniture, and even inside shoes or bedding, scorpions enter homes in search of shelter and food. At Blackwood Pest Solutions, we provide targeted scorpion control that eliminates current infestations and prevents future ones. Our experienced technicians inspect for entry points, hiding spots, and environmental conditions that attract scorpions, delivering safe and effective treatments for both residential and commercial properties.

Why Scorpions Are a Serious Concern
Scorpions aren’t just startling—they pose real risks to your family and pets. Here’s why prompt action matters:
- Painful Stings – Some scorpion species, like the Arizona Bark Scorpion, deliver venomous stings that can cause serious reactions.
- Health Risks for Children & Pets – Young children, the elderly, and pets are especially vulnerable to complications from stings.
- Hidden Entry Points – Scorpions often sneak in through vents, cracks, or under doors—making them hard to detect until it’s too late.
- Reproduction & Resilience – Scorpions are tough, adaptable, and can reproduce quickly under the right conditions.
- Year-Round Activity – In warmer climates, scorpions can remain active even outside of peak summer months.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make With Scorpions
Trying to DIY scorpion control often results in incomplete solutions. Here’s what we frequently see:
- Ignoring Entry Points – Even small gaps under doors or foundation cracks can let scorpions inside.
- Relying on Insect Sprays – Most general insecticides don’t kill scorpions or prevent their return.
- Leaving Yard Clutter – Woodpiles, rocks, and overgrown plants create perfect daytime hiding spots.
- Not Addressing Prey – Scorpions feed on insects like crickets and roaches. Failing to treat these pests encourages scorpion activity.

FAQs: Scorpions
What attracts scorpions to my home?
Scorpions are drawn to dark, moist, and undisturbed areas. They also enter homes in search of prey like crickets, roaches, and other small insects. Excess vegetation, woodpiles, and unsealed entry points also attract them.
Are scorpions dangerous?
Most scorpion stings are not life-threatening, but they can cause localized pain, swelling, and in rare cases, severe allergic reactions. The Arizona Bark Scorpion, for example, can deliver a more serious sting that may require medical attention.
How do you treat for scorpions?
We use a combination of exterior perimeter treatments, dusting in wall voids and cracks, and environmental modifications to eliminate scorpions and their food sources. We also offer exclusion services to seal potential entry points.
Can I prevent scorpions from getting into my home?
Yes. Keep your yard trimmed and clear of debris, seal cracks around the foundation, use weather stripping on doors and windows, and eliminate other pests they may feed on. We can help identify and address the specific risk areas around your home.
How soon will I see results after treatment?
You may notice a decrease in scorpion activity within a few days, but full results typically take 1–2 weeks depending on the severity of the infestation. Regular service may be recommended in high-activity areas.
