Arizona Scorpions Need Professional Control

Arizona is home to more scorpion species than almost anywhere else in the country, and Peoria's warm, dry climate makes it easy for them to thrive around homes and businesses.

The Arizona bark scorpion, in particular, is the only scorpion species in the United States considered medically significant, making professional scorpion control especially important for local families. Bye Bye Bugs Pest Control helps homeowners and businesses reduce scorpion activity around their property and stay protected from unwanted encounters indoors.

Common Scorpions Found in Arizona

Scorpions We Treat Most Often

Not every scorpion poses the same level of risk, but knowing which species you're dealing with is an important part of effective scorpion control.

Arizona Bark Scorpion

The Arizona bark scorpion is small, pale tan, and considered the most dangerous scorpion in the United States. Its sting can cause significant pain and numbness, especially in children and older adults.

Arizona Giant Hairy Scorpion

As the largest scorpion species in North America, the Arizona giant hairy scorpion delivers a sting similar to a bee sting but is not considered medically dangerous.

Yellow Ground Scorpion

This species prefers burrowing in loose soil and is commonly found in gardens, under rocks, and around landscaping.

Arizona Stripetail Scorpion

Recognized by the dark stripes along its tail, this species is common throughout the Sonoran Desert and often found near rocks, wood, and debris piles.

What Attracts Scorpions to Your Property

Reduce the Conditions They Love

Scorpions are drawn to specific conditions around homes and yards, and removing these attractants helps support long-term scorpion control.

Woodpiles, rock piles, and dense landscaping
Citrus trees and other fruit-bearing plants
Block walls and spaces with small gaps or crevices
Standing water or excess moisture near the foundation
Clutter in garages, sheds, or storage areas
How to Check for Scorpions at Night

Use a UV Blacklight After Dark

Scorpions glow a bright blue-green color under UV light, making them much easier to spot around walls, patios, and landscaping.

01

Turn Off Exterior Lights

Reduce ambient light around your property for better visibility.

02

Use a UV Blacklight Flashlight

Scan walls, foundations, patios, and landscaping after dark.

03

Check Common Hiding Spots

Focus on block walls, woodpiles, and areas near doors and windows.

04

Note Problem Areas

Record where scorpions are spotted so treatment can be targeted more effectively.

Exterior Treatment

We treat block walls, foundations, and landscaping where scorpions are most active.

Scorpion Sting Safety Tips

If Someone Is Stung

Most scorpion stings cause pain, swelling, or numbness at the site, but some reactions can be more serious.

01

Clean the Area

Wash the sting site with soap and water.

02

Apply a Cold Compress

This can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

Monitor for Severe Symptoms

Watch for difficulty breathing, muscle twitching, or excessive drooling.
