Arizona bark scorpion stings cause intense pain, numbness, tingling, and in some cases muscle spasms and difficulty breathing, especially in children under 5 and elderly adults. According to the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center, Arizona reports thousands of scorpion sting calls annually, making bark scorpions the most common cause of venomous stings in the state.
Bark scorpions are unique because they climb. Most scorpion species stay on the ground, but bark scorpions scale stucco walls, walk across ceilings, and drop into living spaces. Block wall fencing, standard throughout Phoenix and Scottsdale, provides ideal harborage in the gaps between blocks and under wall caps where scorpions congregate in large numbers.

Yes, bark scorpion stings are medically significant, especially for children under 5, elderly adults, and individuals with compromised immune systems. Symptoms include intense pain, numbness, tingling, and in severe cases muscle spasms and difficulty breathing. Seek medical attention if a child or elderly person is stung, or if symptoms are severe.
Bark scorpions enter through tiny gaps around door sweeps, weep holes, plumbing penetrations, expansion joints, and where block walls meet the roofline. They are exceptional climbers and can scale stucco, brick, and block walls to reach upper-story entry points.
Yes, bark scorpion control works when done properly. Generic pest sprays have limited effect on scorpions because of their biology. Professional scorpion control in Phoenix targets harborage areas, eliminates prey insects, and maintains a barrier that significantly reduces scorpion populations around your home over time.
Most customers notice a significant reduction in scorpion sightings within 2-4 weeks of beginning monthly service. However, scorpion pressure is replenished from neighboring properties and desert areas, which is why ongoing monthly treatment is necessary for sustained control.
Yes. We select products and application methods that are safe for dogs, cats, and other household pets. Treatments are applied to perimeter and harborage areas, not open areas where pets play. We follow Integrated Pest Management principles and always prioritize family and pet safety.
