ALL ABOUT SCORPIONS

HAVING TROUBLE WITH SCORPIONS?

Scorpions are well-known desert dwellers, and Arizona is home to several common species. These arachnids are easily identifiable by their long, curved sectioned tails which are fitted with barbed stingers. A scorpion’s sting can deliver venom that may or may not be dangerous to humans, depending on the scorpion species.

In general, scorpions tend to be nocturnal and spend most of their time hiding and waiting for available prey. They may eat insects such as crickets or roaches; some larger species may also kill and eat mice or other small animals.

The most common scorpions you may find in our State of Arizona include: 

– Arizona Bark Scorpion: Yellowish-tan in color, this long, slender scorpion is one of the most commonly known and of of the most dangerous scorpions native to the state. They are the only species of scorpion capable of vertical climbing, and they can sometimes be found clinging to tree trunks or to the side of home walls. Their venom is fairly strong and can cause painful swelling, muscle spasms and breathing difficulties in humans.

– Arizona Stripetail Scorpion: The most common scorpion in the state, these yellowish scorpions are found to have prominent dorsal stripes. They are usually less than three inches in length and have a less potent venom than bark scorpions.

– Arizona Giant Hairy Scorpion: As the name would suggest, these are very large scorpions, measuring up to 5 or 6 inches long. In fact, they are the largest scorpion in the country. These scorpions are generally dark in color, they are covered with dense hair. Although they are large and intimidating, they are not particularly dangerous to humans. They primarily feed on pests like smaller scorpions and centipedes, and they are rarely found in the home.

– Yellow Ground Scorpion: Similar in appearance to the bark scorpion, these slender yellowish scorpions are easy to mistake for the other type. They are however less dangerous, and they do not climb vertical surfaces.

All scorpions glow a pale green when seen under a blacklight or when viewed at night with a blacklight flashlight. One of the best ways to find scorpions is to use a blacklight flashlight on a dark, otherwise unlit night. The glow of the scorpion will alert you to its presence and give you an idea of how many may be in the area.

ARE SCORPIONS A PROBLEM?

In their natural desert habitat, scorpions play an important role in killing insects and vermin to control pest populations in outdoor areas and fields. However, these scorpions can become a real nuisance if they begin to encroach in human homes and yards.

Some scorpions, like the Arizona Bark Scorpion, have powerful venom that can pose a danger to humans. Although deaths from scorpion stings are rare, they can be very uncomfortable and cause serious illness, especially in children and the elderly.

Compared to other pests, scorpions are rarely found inside the home. They tend to travel fairly long distances in search of food and are more common outdoors than inside. However, under the right conditions and when food is plentiful, scorpions may nest in and around your Arizona home. When that happens, it’s time to call in professional help. We are experienced to manage any scorpion infestation around your home or business.

Quite a few people in the Mesa area require extermination services in association with scorpions. Our family owned Overton Pest Control is here to help residents in the Mesa region with any pest control needs. We are your premier Mesa pest control company.
