Arizona Bark Scorpion

The Arizona bark scorpion is the only scorpion in Nevada with venom of real medical significance. It climbs walls and fits through narrow gaps.

Recognizing the Arizona bark scorpion

This species is the only scorpion in Nevada whose sting carries real medical significance. It climbs walls and ceilings and can squeeze through a gap about as thin as a credit card.

Where bark scorpions hide outside

  • Block walls and gravel

    Scorpions hide inside block wall crevices and decorative landscape gravel across valley yards.

  • Woodpiles and boxes

    They settle beneath outdoor woodpiles and inside irrigation boxes where shelter is available.

  • Weep screens at foundation

    Unsealed weep screens along stucco home foundations offer direct routes indoors.

Stings and medical advice

A sting from an Arizona bark scorpion carries venom of medical significance. Seek medical advice if someone is stung by this scorpion.

How Whiptail handles bark scorpions

Service starts with a night inspection using ultraviolet blacklight lights on the first visit. We apply exterior treatment where scorpions hide and provide sealing recommendations. Exclusion options include door sweeps, weep screen guards and sealing gaps around plumbing and wiring penetrations.

Arizona bark scorpion questions

How do you spot bark scorpions on a property?

Scorpions glow under ultraviolet blacklight light. Our technicians conduct initial inspections at night to locate active bark scorpions around exterior structures, wall gaps and yard features.

Can bark scorpions climb interior walls?

Yes, bark scorpions climb vertical walls and ceilings. They enter through unsealed weep screens or structural gaps as thin as a credit card.

Does general pest control manage bark scorpions?

General pest plans reduce scorpion numbers, but comprehensive scorpion management requires specialized exterior treatments every two months and structural exclusion work.

Dana did a blacklight inspection at night and found bark scorpions in our block wall. She treated the yard and installed weep screen guards. Now our Scorpion Plan includes visits every two months.

We needed a formal Wood Destroying Insect report to sell our house. Marco came out and inspected the slab and garage thoroughly. He sent the written report to our agent the next business day.

We heard scratching in the attic. Luis found where roof rats were getting in, sealed the entry points with steel mesh, and set traps. He came back to check the traps just like he promised.

We use the quarterly plan for ants and spiders. When we saw a few ants return near the kitchen in summer, they came back out and treated the area again at no charge.

Kim gave us a written checklist to prepare our bedrooms for bed bug treatment. She treated the furniture and baseboards, then returned about two weeks later to check for activity.
