Services · Scorpion Control
Get scorpions out of your home, and keep them out.
Targeted scorpion control for Phoenix Valley homes, built around the one that actually worries you: the Arizona bark scorpion.
What scorpion control covers
Scorpion control is a treatment that targets scorpions where they hide and live, not just where you see them. Nice Pest Company dusts wall voids and weep holes, lays down a barrier around the foundation and entry points, and treats the yard and block walls where scorpions hunt at night. Because Arizona bark scorpions can survive a lot, the work is about pressure over time: a strong start, then an every-other-month barrier that keeps them from settling in.
Common scorpions in Arizona
Three turn up in Valley homes, and only one of them is the reason this service exists.
01
Arizona bark scorpion
The one that matters. Small, pale, climbs walls and ceilings, and packs the most painful sting in the state. Glows blue-green under UV light.
02
Striped-tail (devil) scorpion
Common in yards, stockier, a sting closer to a bee's.
03
Giant desert hairy scorpion
The big one, more startling than dangerous.
How our scorpion treatment works
Five steps, and the fifth is the one that does the work over time.
-
Inspect.
We find harborage: block walls, weep holes, irrigation boxes, and the cool, damp spots scorpions favor.
-
Dust the voids.
A long-lasting dust goes into wall voids and weep holes where sprays cannot reach.
-
Build the barrier.
Liquid treatment around the foundation, entry points, and yard, plus granules where they hunt.
-
Knock down the webs and harborage.
Fewer hiding spots and fewer insects means less for scorpions to eat.
-
Come back.
Every-other-month visits keep the pressure on.
Why a pro beats a can of spray
Scorpions live in voids and walls that store-bought sprays never reach, they hunt at night, and they shrug off the surface treatments a homeowner can buy.
-
Professional dusting reaches the voids.
-
UV night inspection finds what daylight hides.
-
A maintained barrier is what actually moves the needle.

Good to know
Questions? We've got answers.
Straight answers to what Valley homeowners ask us most. Still not sure about something? We're happy to talk it through.
How do I keep scorpions out of my house in Arizona?
Seal gaps around doors, windows, and weep holes, keep block walls and yard debris clear, and treat the voids where scorpions hide. The most reliable approach pairs sealing with an every-other-month barrier treatment, because bark scorpions can slip through a gap as thin as a credit card and breed in the walls.
Are bark scorpions dangerous?
Arizona bark scorpion stings are painful and can be serious for small children, older adults, and pets, with symptoms like numbness, tingling, and trouble breathing in rare cases. Most stings are treatable, but they are the reason scorpion control in the Valley is worth taking seriously. If stung and symptoms are severe, call Poison Control or seek care.
Why do scorpions glow under a black light?
Scorpions have a substance in their exoskeleton that fluoresces blue-green under UV light, which is why a black light makes them easy to spot at night. Our techs use UV inspection to find scorpions and their harborage that you would never see in daylight, then treat those exact spots.
How long until scorpion treatment works?
You will usually see scorpion activity drop within the first couple of weeks, but full control comes from the every-other-month barrier doing its job over time. Scorpions in the walls have to contact the treatment, so repeat service is a key part of clearing them out.
