We can't use glue traps and we don't want to smash scorpion guts into our new carpet, so Scorpion Alert is perfect for us.
Super easy setup. We just plugged the Scorpion Detectors in, set them up with my phone, and that was it. I love the live feed on my phone to let me know they're always watching.
We tried everything. Pest control companies, glue traps, powders. None of it worked as well as this.
Your alert history shows details of each alert. Each one contains a picture of the scorpion, the name of the Detector that spotted it, and the exact time and date of the alert.
Each Scorpion Detector also remembers how many scorpions it has detected. This can help you understand where more scorpions may be entering your home.
Normally, you don't want your phone waking you up. But if a scorpion gets in, maybe you do. Our app lets you decide if you want a custom alert sound to grab your attention.
You can also choose to receive Scorpion Alerts through text messages. This can be useful for additional family members who don't have the app but still want alerts.
Our mobile app makes it easy to set up and manage your Scorpion Detectors. Just give each Detector a name that will let you know what room it's in, connect it to your home's Wi-Fi, and you're done.
Over time, your alert history reveals where scorpions are getting in. As you seal those entry points, you might relocate your Scorpion Detectors to other rooms. When you do, our app makes it easy to rename them and stay organized.
We can finally go on offense against these things instead of waiting to find them in our couch and shoes. It really helps us figure out where they're getting in. Love it.
We don’t get as many alerts any more now that we’ve figured out how to seal up our vents, but we were getting a lot of alerts in the beginning.
We got 2 alerts our first week! These things really work, what a good idea, so easy to use. Much better than sticky traps, thank you so much!
It’s uncommon, but scorpions can end up indoors—especially in desert areas—so a quick check is worth doing before you unpack. Ground-floor rooms, older buildings, and places with rock landscaping, garages, or laundry areas tend to have more gaps and hiding spots. This guide explains what to look for and when to check in check hotel rooms for scorpions.
Winter is a good time to seal entry points, reduce cluttered hiding spots, and manage moisture that attracts the insects scorpions feed on. Focus on door sweeps, weather stripping, gaps around plumbing, and keeping storage off the floor—especially in the garage. This winter scorpion prevention checklist outlines a simple plan you can tackle in a weekend.
Scorpions become active between 8 p.m. and midnight — exactly when many people tackle household chores. Reaching under sinks or moving items without checking first causes most cleaning-related stings. Always carry a UV flashlight after dark since scorpions glow bright green under ultraviolet light. Learn more safe cleaning practices for scorpion country.
Scorpions don’t truly hibernate the way bears do; they often enter a slowdown called diapause when temperatures drop and prey is scarce. That means you may see fewer scorpions, but indoor spaces with steady heat can keep them active enough for occasional encounters. This scorpion winter diapause explained guide breaks down why winter sightings still happen.
Only emergency room doctors should decide about antivenom (Anascorp) for infants. The treatment works remarkably fast but requires professional administration and monitoring. Never attempt home remedies—take your baby to the ER immediately where staff can assess whether emergency treatment for infant scorpion stings requires antivenom based on symptom severity.
Focus on three key zones: behind toilets where condensation attracts prey insects, under kitchen appliances where crumbs accumulate, and around washing machines where lint and moisture create cricket habitat. These strategic cleaning tips for scorpion prevention target the specific areas where scorpions hunt rather than requiring obsessive whole-house cleaning.
