Tips For House Hunters
We usually suggest that you just find your dream home, and budget for monthly scorpion control. However there are a few things you can look for, and do, to avoid potential scorpion problems.
- Try to choose a home away from common areas, because they don’t get treated for scorpions, and usually have an abundance of food or water.
- Avoid homes with lots of rock or brick on the home itself, because Bark Scorpions love to infest the cracks.
- Homes with large landscaping rocks, untrimmed palm trees, and un-maintained swimming pools that have cracks in the cool decking and concrete tend to harbor scorpions.
- Make sure you get a home inspection.
- Thoroughly read the property disclosure, as home sellers must disclose pest and scorpion problems!
How Scorpions Spread
Even if your home or neighborhood does not have scorpions now, the problem can develop because scorpions spread. Scorpions spread and infest new areas several ways including: human transportation, hunting activities, reproduction, and development. Did you know that scorpions ATTRACT other scorpions with vibrations and pheromones meant to attract a mate?They do! Scorpions also spread from one area to another as they hunt for food. They also spread by hitchhiking or stowing away in boxes, (or other containers) landscaping materials, or potted plants from nurseries to a new home. Scorpion problems can develop, where they once were not, when development pushes them out of their natural habitats.

Trying to decide between Seville, Adora Trails, and Stonehenge subdivisions in Gilbert. Moving from PA with a dog, and I am terrified of scorpions. Where will we see the smallest number of them? Thanks!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Lacy! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! We do service several accounts in the area. Scorpions can be hit and miss on a street. Especially if some properties are getting effective treatment and others are not. It would be a good idea to ask the property manager about scorpions there, and if they’ve had complaints or if they’ve had a regular pest and scorpion control service at the property. Good pest and scorpion control on a regular basis can really prevent problems before they start. One large property almost exactly a mile south of Dobson and Market had a pretty good scorpion infestation a few years back when we got the contract. It took a couple months, but scorpion problems are a distant memory thanks to effective monthly pest & scorpion control service.
lacy says
Just applied to rent a house off of Dobson and Market, in the Occotillo area. Have you had many reports here? thank you!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Caren! Congrats on the new home build… That’s exciting! Most the scorpions issues in Verrado are in the two main neighborhood areas along N Verrado Way where you really need monthly scorpion control. We do have a few problems out by the high school, but the scorpion activity over there is much less at this point. Thanks for asking!
Caren says
Hello, we are about to have a home built in a new community in Verrado, bordering Buckeye/Litchfield Park, AZ at N.Pioneer Dr. and W. Indian School road right across from Verrado High School. Has there been any problems with scorpions in this particular area, as I know scorpions can be a problem in one area of a community and not another. Thank you.
Preston Smith says
Hi Guys,
We currently have so-so problems with scorpions. 4 or 5 in the pool over the summer and maybe 8 in the house. Wife stung some years ago. 5 or so summers ago I personally killed 50 or so in and out of the house. I know that your service is needed. I have a question regarding rodents; mice and packrats. We have an abundance of the latter. A couple were in the attic and much trouble with vehicles parked outside.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Miri! Thank you for stopping by our scorpion map and asking. If you zoom into the map with two finger, you can see the area on 20th between Indian and Glenrosa. Great news… This is not a high scorpion activity area from our experience. However, scorpions are native to the entire Phoenix Valley so they can show up anywhere. We highly recommend doing an initial clean out of a property BEFORE you move in! That allows for the most thorough treatment getting at all the little cracks and crevices before you put your furniture and belongings inside. After the initial clean out scorpions (and other bugs) will come out of sheltering areas and die. This can go on for a couple weeks, but is much better than living with them! We also recommend monthly scorpions pest control for best scorpion control and prevention.
Miri says
Hi, we are about to move to area in central Phoenix on 20th street between Indian school and Glenrosa street. We still didn’t move in by my husband spotted a scorpion in one of th rooms. How to make sure are we on their migration path and was there any activity in the area?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Kaitlyn!
Thanks for visiting our scorpion map and asking about scorpions around Ray Rd. & Arizona specifically Ray & Hartford in Chandler! We do see scorpion activity in the area, but it is pretty light compared to other areas. Even though scorpions don’t seem to be as big of a problem in the area, We always suggest prevention with regular scorpion pest control service. Congrats and good luck with your move!
Kaitlyn says
Looking to move to Ray & Arizona, Ray & Hartford. How are the scorpions in that Chandler area?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Crystal! Congrats on your move! Unfortunately it looks like both areas have their fair share of scorpion activity. We always suggest that you pick your favorite home and just budget in for monthly scorpions control service. Or talk to both property managers or landlords about their pest & scorpion control plans and make sure they are actively preventing problems!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Lacy!
Thanks for visiting our scorpion map and asking about the south west corner between Lindsay and Ray! Sorry to hear that you are having such bad scorpion problems were you live that you want to move. We do service several scorpion control accounts in that area too. We highly recommend monthly pest & scorpion control all year round to eliminate scorpion already on or in your property and then keep scorpions (and other bugs) from infesting again. Scorpions can always enter your property from surrounding areas as they hunt and roam at night, but after contacting our active scorpion control barrier they get sick and die. And this services guaranteed. So if you continue to have live scorpions inside your home or yard you can just give us a call, and we’ll come further investigate, and retreat till they are no longer a problem. Really bad infestations can take a full month or a couple services to get controlled.
Crystal says
Hi there, trying to decide on rental homes based on possible scorpion issues…1st option off Knox Rd & 48th st or Recker & Ray Rd? Thanks.
Lacy says
Hi I was wondering about Lindsay ranch in Gilbert off of Lindsay between Ray and warner? We are on val vista and ray now and it’s so bad we are moving.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Carrie! Cortina is an awesome neighborhood! There are not major scorpion issues there, but they are hit and miss. We do service several homes in the neighborhood, some for scorpion control and some for scorpion prevention. Good luck on your move!
Carrie says
We are looking to move to cortina in queen creek off of power and ryan Avenue. Is there a major scorpion problem there?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Andrea! Thanks for stopping by our map and asking about scorpions in your area! We do service several scorpion control accounts on that street, and in that general area. However, scorpions can be hit and miss. Some homes will have several scorpions, and at the same time their neighbors may never see one.
Andrea says
What about Recker in between Guadalupe and Elliot. E Vaughn Ave
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Roby J! Adora Trails is a great area. There are scorpions there, but as you can see if you move in on the map, it’s not as heavy with scorpion activity as other areas just to the north or west.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Jeff! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! We do service several scorpion accounts there. However, scorpions are not as heavy there as several other areas in the valley. We think it’s better to prevent any scorpion (or other pest) problems before they happen with regular pest & scorpion control that’s friendly to pest and family. Our motto is, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
Jeff says
Thanks for all the info! How’s the scorpion situation in Grayhawk (specifically around 74th way and 74th street)?
Rob j says
How about the adora trails community in Gilbert? Have you seen scorpions there? Thank you
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Bryan! Anthem is such a beautiful area! It’s more rural and their are definitely scorpions. Overall the scorpion problems don’t seem to be as bad from our experience as other areas. But, If the current residents are seeing them, then you should plan on having monthly scorpion control year round to eliminate the scorpions already on the property, and prevent future problems by keeping them out with regular service.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Ann! Thanks for asking. There are definitely scorpions in the area, not as heavy as other areas though. The good news is Apartment complexes hire Pest Control companies to service them monthly. The best way to find out for sure is to find reviews of that apartment complex and you’ll see how well they are keeping the under control (or not)!
Bryan says
Hello… we are looking at a home to buy on the east side of Anthem, on W. Clearview Trail to be exact. The owner said they have seen a few scorpions over the last few months… what’s the overall scorpion and spider population like in that area? Thank you!
Ann Crysler says
Hello! We are going to be moving to apartments off W. Union Hills Drive and N. 79th Ave in Glendale. We are going to be just south of Union Hills Drive. Scorpions are going to be a whole new thing since we are moving from another state. How bad is this area? Thanks.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Carla! Scorpion activity from our experience is not as heavy in that area. However there isn’t as much human population there compared to other areas either which could be part of that. Unfortunately, modular homes are not immune to scorpion infestations. They’ll crawl right up the supports into cracks and crevices of the home. Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map page and asking!
Carla says
We live just off Hwy 347 and Hwy 84 in the Hidden Valley part of Maricopa. How is the scorpion population in this area? I’ve lived in Arizona the past 6 years in Mesa, Stanfield, and now in our current house for the past year. This summer is the first time I’ve seen a scorpion, now we’ve found several outside and I’m worried about them coming inside. We are in a modular that is off ground. Will that help to detour them from coming in?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Dina,
Congrats on the new home… That is a very nice area! There is more scorpion activity in that part of the Valley and Gilbert. If sellers say they see scorpion sometimes than you’ll want to get your new home treated with the initial clean out before you move in! Treating your home before you bring furniture and other objects inside allows a very thorough application throughout the entire house, garage and yard. Once we know we’ve eliminated any scorpions (or other pests) that may be inside the home, we can control them from the outside! We highly recommend monthly service for best scorpion control because it does not wear off between services and keeps an active barrier around your home and yard. Thanks for your question!
Dina says
Hello, we are buying a house in Higley and Germann area, in the Stratland Estates. Can you tell me about scorpions there ? In the disclosure, they put that they see sometimes.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Jen! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! Good news: We do have scorpions in the area around Val Vista and Elliot, but they don’t seem to be as heavy as other areas! However we still recommend you keep an eye out for them, and be proactive in preventing scorpion problems!
Jen says
Wondering if Val Vista Meadows has an issue with scorpions off of Val Vista and Elliott?
ernest edwards says
Hello We have just moved into a new home in Laveen Village, AZ, and we saw a scorpion in my daughter shower on the second floor of our home. And being from the east coast we are super scared of these animals, so we called a company to come out on the weekend as an emergency. We had a pest control company to come out and spray a month ago, we have not seen any inside but we still continue to see them in random area outside when we go out with the flash light at night. Should we give it some more time, or should we have you come out to totally get rid of them, because i want to get it to a point where i at least go outside and inside my home and i see none for at least a week. Am I asking for too much? I would like to get rid of them totally because its causing me to loose sleep and I cannot stop looking for them, and everything i see i think its them. Please help!!
Regards,
Scared to Death!!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Ravi! IF you scroll into the scorpion map you’ll see that We do have quite a bit of scorpion activity in the general area, but not as much right off Chandler Heights Rd. Thank you for stopping by our scorpion map and asking!
Ravi says
Hello, am considering renting at the Avilla Heights Apartments ( 255 E Chandler Heights Rd, Chandler) . Is there a lot of scorpion activity there ? Appreciate any input.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Maria! Thanks for asking about scorpions in the area. That east corner of the 202 in Gilbert has pretty good scorpion activity. Read the property disclosure, because sellers are required to disclose pest problems, and budget for scorpion control! Average sized properties are $99 for the initial clean out and $49 monthly to keep the barrier active around your home and yard.
Maria Hernandez says
Hello. I am moving to a home at 2799 E Del Rio in Gilbert. How has the scorpion activity been?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
HI Khia!
The good new is: That section of east Mesa is hit and miss, but scorpions are nowhere near as active there are they are in many other areas! We think the best pest and scorpion control is to prevent the problem in the first place with regular pest & scorpion control. Average homes are $99 for the initial clean out and $49 monthly, but if you don’t see any scorpions you can go with an every other month service that is $99 for the clean out and $69 every other month.
Khia says
Hi. I am wondering about 141 s 110th st mesa, az. Signal butte and broadway/main area. Can u send prices as well.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Allyson, The east side of the 51 seems to have more scorpion activity than the west, but overall not a huge scorpion population in that area! However the old saying, “Prevention is worth a pound of cure” is always true when it comes to scorpion control and other desert pests too. Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about the area around the 51 and Union Hills!
Allison says
Hello,
We just purchased a house right off the 51 and Union Hills. Is this an area with a big scorpion population?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Jeanne! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! We do quite a few scorpion control accounts in the Seville Community. HOWEVER, it’s very common to have tone house on a street with scorpions and another without. Scorpions can spread in several ways, they can be brought in with landscaping materials, come from community drainage areas or close desert areas, etc. Those scorpions will die if you treat a property effectively, but left untreated (or incorrectly) scorpions will mate, reproduce and attract more scorpions. Because scorpions live throughout the greater Phoenix area we recommend that you buy the house you want, and budget to have an effective scorpion control service each month!
Jeanne says
Hi! We are buying a house in the Seville neighborhood on Higley and Chandler Heights. The seller says they havent ever seen a scorpion, but what have you guys seen in that area? Thanks!!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Crystal! From our experience, scorpions are not a big problem in this area… However scorpions are a natural part of the desert, so it’s always good to keep an eye out for them! Thanks for asking!
Crystal says
Hi, looking at possibly moving to Florence wondering about the area between E Florence Kelvin HWY and E Cactus Forest Rd of N Diffin Rd (about between the two major streets)
Thanks!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Frank. Congrats on your new home! That’s a great area. We do service a hand-full of scorpion accounts in that little triangular area on the west side of E. Rittenhouse Rd. Scorpions are not a huge problem there, but they are around. You may see a few a the temps continue to rise.
Frank says
Good morning! We just purchased a home in Queen Creek (1/4 mile east of Sossaman, on the N side of Queen Creek Rd) We completely changed the landscaping in front and back yards, and have not seen a scorpion yet even with all the movement of earth. Can you tell me how much of an issue these critters are in my neighborhood? Thanks!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Leigh! We do service a hand full of scorpion accounts in Santa Rita… However north of Guadalupe has much more scorpion activity.
Leigh says
Hi,
Are there many issues in the Santa Rita community off of Guadalupe and Signal Butte?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Kelli, Congratulations and Thanks for asking about the two areas you may move to! There are scorpions issues in both areas but the Goodyear location seems to have a higher population fro our experience. We service more scorpion control accounts in that area. There are several factors that play into high scorpion populations, however scorpions do spread so even if a homes does not have scorpion issues now, it can in the future. We always recommend you choose the property you love the best and budget for scorpion control service. We have a very high success rate of 97-98%, meaning our retreats are 2-3%. You can live where you want and keep scorpions out!
Kelli says
Hi there! We are looking to move and are looking at two different areas of the valley and are wondering about potential scorpion issues. The first location is in Peoria on 67th and Cactus in the Peoria Village subdivision- street is Charter Oak. The second one is in Goodyear, in the Palm Valley community, near Bullard and Indian School.
Thank you!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Julie! We do service homes on that street for scorpions, but we have never serviced that house. Scorpions can be hit and miss on any given street. But the good news is that scorpions aren’t as big of a problem in this area as they are in others! However, It’s always a good idea to have a new residence treated BEFORE you move. This ensures that you in to get rid of any pests already inside that home or yard… Before you end up living with them!
Julie says
Hi we’re looking at a house on w Patrick ln in sun city. 11814 w Patrick ln. I’m terrified of the idea of moving into a scorpion infested area Does this area have a problem?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Brianna! Welcome to New River AZ! New River is beautiful and a great place to live. We do have scorpions in New River, but they are not as much of a problem there as they are in other areas around Phoenix. New River is a beautiful desert and is a natural habitat for scorpions and several other pests including desert roaches, crickets, ants, centipedes, tarantulas, black widows, other spiders and small rodents. When it comes to pest and scorpion control we play it safe!
Brianna says
Hi there! We just moved to new river AZ, and am curious about scorpions in this area?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Leanne! Good news. Although we do have scorpions in Hamilton park area, they aren’t as big of a problem. It’s interesting but if you go 1 mile east between McQueen and Gilbert Rd you see a ton more scorpion problems. However scorpions are always spreading as they hunt at night so it’s smart to just keep a good barrier around your home and yard to prevent a scorpion problem before it starts.
Leanne Anderson says
Hi we just moved to Arizona and have two babies under two. Was curious about an area in chandler.
We live off pecos and Hamilton in chandler. Hamilton park area. Thank you
