Arizona Scorpion Habits

• Scorpions are nocturnal so their most active at night when they’re hunting and mating.
• When scorpions catch a bug to eat they sting it several times. Their favorite menu items are crickets and cockroaches, making general pest control an important part in scorpion control. {We have an abundance of crickets and roaches in the Phoenix AZ Valley.}
• Where WATER is available {from sprinklers, leaky plumbing, rain, etc} SCORPIONS will live for MONTHS WITHOUT any food!
• Scorpions hide during the heat of the day under something for cover, and to preserve water. This usually includes rocks, concrete, bark, logs, and moist landscaping debris.
• Scorpions seek WATER, bark scorpions walk on and often drop from ceilings, and are often during the mornings inside bath tubs and sinks. They’re stuck because the surface of tubs and sinks are too smooth and they can’t climb out.
• Scorpions like to nest inside of concrete expansion joints around buildings. This area provides shelter during the heat of the day and holds moisture.
• Scorpions sometimes shelter in wall voids. Most people think that scorpions live in their attic, but attics in the phoenix az valley get up to 160°F, as temperatures rise above 100°F scorpions move DOWN to cooler areas.
• Bark scorpions like to shelter around buildings resulting in frequent home and office invasions. Scorpions gain access to the inside of buildings through old weather stripping or bad door sweeps, un-screened windows, open doors and sliding screens, through un-screened VENTS leading into the home {even vent on the roof}, through weep areas into wall voids, and through cracks around pipes and wires entering the home.
• When the sun comes up in the morning, SCORPIONS will seek the first SHELTER they can find! In an infested home or office this could be in shoes, clothing, blankets, boxes, etc.
• Ground Scorpions {not bark scorpions} often BURROW in kids sand boxes and gravel areas. They can stay buried there for up to 6 months!
