Signs of Scorpions in Your Arizona Home and Yard

Scorpions are nothing unusual in Arizona, but you still don’t want to live with them! With bites that can be very painful and even poisonous, it’s important to prevent these critters from gaining entry into your house. From the presence of smaller bugs to citrus plants in your backyard, here are some signs that you may have scorpions in your house or yard.

Only a pest control professional in Gilbert AZ should be treating your home for the presence of scorpions in the interest of safety.

1. Your Yard Has Lots of Shade

You may love the shade provided by the large trees in your yard on a hot and sunny day, but so do scorpions and other dangerous bugs. They will seek out any shady areas they can to shield themselves from the sun, so be sure to trim back trees and other vegetation and overgrowth to keep a neat landscape. Let your local pest control expert in Phoenix regularly inspect foliage in your yard for signs of scorpion infestation.

2. You Are Seeing Smaller Bugs

Scorpions are attracted to food, and their main food source includes the likes of small bugs such as flies, ants, cockroaches, and beetles. They will follow the scent of these bugs into your home in search of food. Once inside, they’re tough to get rid of. If you see a lot of smaller bugs in your house, get rid of them, as scorpions won’t be far behind.

3. You Have Citrus Plants or Trees in Your Yard

The bark scorpion in particular loves citrus plants due to the dark, moist environments. Citrus trees provide them with shade so they can thrive, so if you have citrus trees in your backyard, they could be harboring scorpions. Consider removing them or at least keeping them well trimmed. And always pick up fallen fruit.

4. You Live in a Recently-Built Development

More developments than ever are being built in desert areas, which in turn disrupts and displaces the scorpion population. Once disturbed, they don’t usually relocate; instead, they stay where they are. If you just became the owner of a new house, keep an eye out for scorpions before you get too comfortable.

5. You’ve Spotted an Actual Scorpion on Your Property

An actual sighting of a scorpion will alert you to the presence of not just that one, but many. Where you find one, you find a lot, as they live in groups. You may think it’s easy to rid your home of a single scorpion; however, getting rid of a bunch is a whole different story! You’ll need a scorpion control technician in Mesa to handle that.
