Scorpion Facts

Sightings, Especially at Night: Scorpions are nocturnal, so spotting them in your home, garage, or yard—particularly at night under UV light (they glow)—indicates an active presence. Even one scorpion suggests more may be nearby.

Stings or Unexplained Pain: Experiencing painful stings or finding family members, employees, or pets with symptoms like swelling, numbness, or difficulty breathing could point to scorpions, especially in regions where venomous species are common.

Nesting Signs in Hidden Areas: Check for scorpions in dark, secluded spots like closets, basements, attics, or under rocks, woodpiles, or debris. Finding shed exoskeletons or small, pale scorpions (juveniles) indicates a breeding population.

Increased Pest Activity: Scorpions feed on insects like crickets or roaches, so a surge in these pests around your property may attract scorpions. Noticing both suggests a potential scorpion problem.

Cracks and Entry Points: Finding scorpions near unsealed gaps, door sweeps, or windows suggests they’re entering from outside, especially in warm, dry climates where scorpions thrive.
