You might think a scorpion in your home is the stuff of nightmares. But here in Arizona homes, that nightmare can quickly become reality. These creepy, crawling arachnids aren’t just unsettling; some species carry venom that can pose a real risk to your family and pets. While DIY traps and sprays might give you a little peace of mind, Wagner Pest Solutions knows the only way to truly send scorpions packing is with professional pest control. So, before you go and handle a scorpion yourself, here’s why DIY scorpion control fails.
Scorpions Are Masters of Hide-and-Seek
Scorpions aren’t easy to spot. They hide in dark, cool places like under baseboards, behind furniture, in attics, and even in your shoes. Because they’re nocturnal, most people don’t see them until there’s a bigger problem. Our professional pest control technicians know where to look, what signs to spot, and how to locate hidden infestations before they get out of hand.
DIY Methods Just Don’t Cut It
Over-the-counter sprays and home remedies can kill a scorpion on contact, but they don’t solve the root problem. Scorpions are resilient and can go months without food, making them tough to eliminate without specialized products and techniques. We use targeted treatments that not only remove existing pests but also create a protective barrier around your home to keep them from coming back.
It’s About Safety — Not Just Comfort
While most scorpions in Arizona aren’t deadly, their stings can cause intense pain, swelling, and allergic reactions. For young children, older adults, and pets, a sting can mean a trip to the ER. That’s why we emphasize your safety by using safe, effective methods that protect your family while addressing the problem.
Say Goodbye to Scorpions for Good
Scorpion control isn’t just about getting rid of what’s already there; it’s about making your home less inviting in the first place. Our team at Wagner Pest Solutions can identify entry points, recommend sealing solutions, and provide regular treatments to keep your home scorpion-free year-round. Our team also specializes in spider control, ant control, and bird control — so you can rest easy.
