Scorpions and Valley Homes
We find where they hide using ultraviolet light and apply targeted treatments. Our licensed technicians serve the Las Vegas valley.
Finding scorpions in and around your home
Most homeowners notice scorpions by spotting them directly inside the house or on exterior block walls. Seeing one does not confirm the extent of activity until a full inspection is performed.
On exterior block walls
Scorpions frequently hide inside the hollow block walls that surround many yards during the daytime.
Inside the home
You might see them resting on ceilings or walls because the Arizona bark scorpion can climb.
Around gravel beds
Gravel beds and decorative landscaping rocks are common outdoor places where scorpions hide around the house.
Near irrigation boxes
You may also find scorpions hiding outdoors inside the irrigation boxes around your yard.
Under woodpiles
Woodpiles stacked near the exterior walls are another common place where scorpions hide outside.
At the base of walls
They can enter through unprotected weep screens and weep screeds along the stucco foundation.
Taking the Arizona bark scorpion seriously
The Arizona bark scorpion is the only scorpion in Nevada with venom of real medical significance. Because they can squeeze through a gap about as thin as a credit card, they easily enter homes through small structural openings. They also climb walls and ceilings, increasing the chance of an unexpected encounter inside living spaces.
Addressing an infestation requires locating their hiding spots. They gather in hollow block walls, gravel beds, and irrigation boxes around your yard. If someone is stung, you should seek medical advice. We locate these populations at night to reduce their numbers around your property.
How our technicians inspect your property
The first visit includes a night inspection using ultraviolet lights because scorpions glow brightly under them. This method shows your technician where these pests hide around your yard.
Treating the scorpions around your home
We use targeted exterior applications where activity is found and recommend sealing gaps. You follow written preparation instructions and fix leaks to reduce moisture.
Where scorpions hide around valley homes
Scorpions often hide outdoors in block walls, gravel, woodpiles and irrigation boxes. Unprotected weep screeds and weep screens at the base of stucco walls on slab homes are a common entry route for them to get inside living spaces.
Because scorpions glow under ultraviolet light, we do our scorpion inspections at night to locate them. This reveals the specific places they hide around your property so we know where to treat.
Preparing for your treatment
Before we arrive, we provide clear instructions so the technician can access the right areas and apply the treatment properly.
Review the instructions
You receive written preparation instructions before the visit. Following these guidelines gives our technician the space needed to work effectively.
Clearing access points
Please move items away from exterior walls so the technician has clear access to the yard and foundation.
Managing children and pets
You must keep children and pets out of treated areas as the written reentry instructions describe.
What to expect afterward
Not every scorpion problem is solved in a single visit. Your technician tells you how many follow-up visits to expect for your property.
Scheduled follow-up visits
Scorpion Plan customers receive scheduled exterior visits every two months, while one-time services include the specific follow-up visits the treatment needs.
Preventing scorpions around your home
These steps help make your property less inviting, but prevention alone does not end an active problem.
- Fix dripping outdoor faucets and irrigation leaks.
- Keep gravel and stacked woodpiles away from the foundation.
- Trim bushes and plants so they do not touch exterior walls.
- Keep outdoor irrigation off your home foundation.
- Seal structural gaps and make sure screens fit tightly.
- Keep the garage tidy and reduce stored clutter.

Questions about scorpion control
How do you treat for scorpions?
Our treatment starts with a night inspection using ultraviolet light to find where they hide. We then apply targeted products to hollow block walls, gravel beds, and weep screens. The exact approach varies by the property and the severity of the infestation.
What about children and pets?
We apply all products strictly according to their labels. You receive written preparation and reentry instructions before your treatment day. The provided paperwork explains when children and pets are allowed to return to the treated spaces.
How do I prepare for the service?
You receive a preparation checklist before we arrive. Moving items away from exterior walls and clearing access to the yard gives the technician the space needed to inspect block walls and apply the treatment thoroughly.
How much does scorpion treatment cost?
The price varies depending on your property size and the treatment needed. A technician inspects the home first to evaluate the activity and recommends a plan. You review and approve the exact cost before we begin any work.
When will I see results?
Results vary by property and how many scorpions are hiding there. Not every problem is solved in one visit, and your technician tells you how many visits to expect. The Scorpion Plan keeps exterior visits scheduled every two months to maintain coverage.
Can I prevent them from coming back?
You can make your yard less attractive by fixing leaks and moving woodpiles away from the foundation. While these steps help, they do not stop an active infestation. Ongoing professional treatments keep the population reduced over time.
