Scorpions
Centruroides sculpturatus
How to Identify
– Use a UV light to spot them at night.
– Check shoes, gloves, and boxes before you wear them.
– Watch for them on walls and in attics.
– Notice small pale scorpions hiding under rocks.
Health Risks
The most venomous scorpion in North America; sting causes severe pain, numbness, and in children or immunocompromised individuals can produce systemic neurotoxicity requiring antivenin; all other US species produce only localized pain and swelling.
Their sting can cause severe pain and numbness. Kids and weak adults can need hospital care.
Our Treatment Method
Perimeter residual spray with UV black-light inspection at night for detection; seal all cracks and entry points; reduce harborage material (bark, rocks, debris) adjacent to structure.
We treat outside with a lasting spray and do night UV checks. We seal cracks and cut back rock piles.
Prevention Tips
– Shake out shoes, gloves, and clothing before wearing — scorpions hide inside.
– Use a UV black light flashlight at night to detect scorpions before handling.
– Seal foundation cracks, pipe penetrations, and weatherstripping gaps.
– Remove bark mulch, rock piles, and debris from the foundation perimeter.
– Install door sweeps on all exterior doors and repair torn window screens.
– Remove rock piles and bark mulch from near your foundation.
– Install door sweeps and repair torn window screens.
– Keep drip emitters and plant bases dry near walls.
– Shake shoes and clothes before you wear them.
