Scorpion Control in East Valley, AZ

---

Scorpions are one of the most common pest problems for homeowners throughout Arizona's East Valley. From Mesa and Gilbert to Chandler, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and Casa Grande, it's not uncommon to find scorpions around your home—especially as neighborhoods continue to expand into the Sonoran Desert.

At Monix Pest Control, we provide professional scorpion control services that help protect your home and family. Whether you've seen a single scorpion or are dealing with ongoing activity, our customized treatments are designed to reduce scorpion populations and keep them from returning.

Scorpions are native to Arizona and have lived in the Sonoran Desert for thousands of years. As residential communities have grown into previously undeveloped desert land, scorpions have adapted by finding shelter in neighborhoods, where they have access to food, water, and cool places to hide.

Homes with block walls, irrigated landscaping, palm trees, citrus trees, rock landscaping, or properties located near desert preserves often experience increased scorpion activity. Because scorpions are nocturnal, many homeowners don't realize they have a problem until they discover one inside the house after dark.

Arizona is home to more than 40 species of scorpions, but the Arizona bark scorpion is by far the species most commonly found inside homes throughout Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and Casa Grande.

Bark scorpions are typically light tan in color and grow to about 2 to 3 inches long. They are excellent climbers and can scale block walls, stucco, trees, and even ceilings. Their ability to squeeze through tiny openings around doors, windows, and foundations makes them especially difficult to keep out without professional treatment.

Although fatalities are extremely rare with modern medical care, bark scorpion stings are painful and can cause more severe reactions in young children, older adults, and individuals with certain medical conditions. Anyone experiencing severe symptoms after a sting should seek medical attention immediately.

While professional pest control provides the best protection, homeowners can also reduce the conditions that attract scorpions.

To help prevent scorpions around your home:

• Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, utility penetrations, and the foundation.
• Install quality door sweeps and weather stripping.
• Eliminate other insects, since they are the primary food source for scorpions.
• Trim shrubs, vines, and tree branches away from the home.
• Remove wood piles, stacked lumber, rocks, and other debris where scorpions hide.
• Store firewood off the ground and away from the house.
• Repair leaking faucets, irrigation systems, and other moisture sources.
• Reduce clutter in garages, sheds, and storage areas.
• Keep outdoor lighting to a minimum or use warm-colored bulbs that attract fewer insects.

Scorpions are one of the most difficult pests to eliminate using over-the-counter products alone. Effective scorpion control requires more than simply spraying around the home. It involves reducing their food sources, treating common hiding places, identifying entry points, and creating a protective barrier around your property.
