Depending on the severity of the infestation, complete scorpion control be achieved from 1 week up to 30 days after the initial clean out service.
Why does it take up to 30 days?
Scorpions like to hide in cracks and crevices which can often be deep under concrete and in expansion joints. Although we do treat in as far as possible during scorpion control service, some harboring areas may not get product all the way inside. These scorpions must come out of their shelters and contact scorpion control products to be affected. Infestations that have been a long term problem take longer to control.
Maintaining Scorpion Control
One time service does not keep scorpions away… We always recommend monthly service for best scorpions control because, complete scorpion control must be MAINTAINED with regular monthly services. Homes that stop monthly scorpion control services become vulnerable to re-infestation because scorpions can reenter your yard and then home from neighboring properties.

Hi Nita! Finding one scorpion inside does make mean you have an infestation. Scorpions can sometimes make inside after a treatment but be sick and dying, because it actually takes a couple hours for a scorpion to die that was not sprayed directly. After scorpion control products dry it takes longer to kill scorpions, but it still works. Also, some products can push scorpions, and other pests out of sheltering areas, which could of pushed this scorpion into your home.
Glad to hear he is coming back in a week to do a follow up! Make sure to tell your tech everything so he can treat effectively!

I found one scorpion in my house, and there were several in the glue pads in the garage…
Do I have an infestation? My pest control sprayed the outside and used granuals…I have not seen any more in the house and so far the glue pads inside house look OK. He is coming back in a week. Do you think I am OK…I live alone and am terrified.

That’s good to know that it could take up to a month to get rid of scorpions. I would think that it would take a while for the chemicals to spread to all of them in their hiding places. I’ll have to make sure that I am still careful for a little while after the pest control guys come if I ever find scorpions in my house.
