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 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.

Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
If you back up to open desert that can sometimes increase the likelihood of seeing scorpions, but a lot depends on what the landscape is like. If it’s just plain rocks and dirt you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. If it’s a wash or has any amount of moisture then you might want to be concerned. Scorpions go where they can find other bugs to feed on, and if there is little to no moisture then really shouldn’t be anything to draw them in.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Not seeing quite as much activity in Estrella Mountain Ranch, although there is certainly still a chance, particularly around the green spaces. Anywhere that has more watering is also going to be more attractive for bugs, which in turn will attract scorpions.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
We do see quite a bit of activity throughout Gilbert, which may have something to do with the verdant landscaping and block-wall fences. That said, we can control ANY scorpion infestation with regular monthly maintenance. So our advice would be to not let anything stand in the way of finding your perfect dream home, just be sure and budget for regular monthly maintenance in the event that it is needed.
Chris says
Good Morning Again,
Second question. We are also considering the Ashland Ranch area of Gilbert. Off of Oxford Lane. Could you tell us about that area and scorpion activity please?
Thank you! :)
Chris says
Good Morning,
We are considering buying a home in Estrella Mtn Ranch. Off of Sequoia. Would love to know what the scorpion situation is there please.
Thank you!
Amanda says
Are you more likely to have scorpions in house where you have no houses behind you? We are looking to buy house in San Tan Valley or Florence and are concerned. It looked like Florence was not nearly as bad as San Tan valley, but why would that be? Is a backyard with very minimal landscaping, but a lot of rocks and little to no grass good or bad when it comes to scorpions?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi JK! Thanks for your comment and questions! Yes new construction will stir up scorpions living on the land. Usually scorpions don’t infest construction sites, they scatter, and new homes can take a time to really start showing scorpion problems.
JK says
Looks like low scorpion activity in the Tatum Garden Estates area of Paradise Valley, i.e., East Berneil Drive between Tatum and North 52nd Street. Do you have experience in dealing with scorpions in that area? Also, in your experience, are there typically more or less scorpions with a newly constructed house? In other words, does the construction and landscape process cause more of a scorpion problem or cause the scorpions to scatter elsewhere? Thank you for considering these questions from someone that is new to the area.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about the area you want to buy in! Yes there are scorpions in the MOrrison Ranch – Higley area. It does seem to be a higher scorpion activity area. Grass is great! Scorpions do not live in grass, however watering grass (and other landscape) attracts other pests that scorpions feed on. Scorpions like to shelter in and under rocked areas, in or under concrete and expansion joints, block wall fences, etc. Go for the grass, just make sure to get a regular (we recommend monthly) scorpion & pest control treatment to prevent problems!
Jennifer says
Hi! This map is so helpful! We are originally from the Midwest and Scorpions terrify me! Lol! We are looking into buying a home in any of the Morrison Ranch/Higley estates neighborhoods. Are they high scorpion activity areas? We love how there is a lot of grass but I’ve heard conflicting info (scorpions prefer rocks or they like grass because of the water) Not sure what is true? Thanks so much for any advice! 😊
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Ralph! Thanks for asking about the neighborhoods you are looking into. We do have the client base in those areas to have an accurate and regularly updated scorpion map. There are scorpions in both neighborhoods. However, each home will be different on the amount of scorpion activity.
Ralph M says
Hi:
We used your service when we lived in Ancala (yes, it was awful there!).
We are looking to build a home in either Firerock CC or Eagle Mountain CC (both on the SOUTH side of Shea).
Can you share your experiences there, and let me know if you map contains enough clients in the both areas to accurately reflect the scorpion activity in these two developments? We are not meek, but are not looking for another experience like we had in Ancala.
We’ve been in McCormick Ranch for 5 years and haven’t seen a single one, so we are trying to be informed about what we may be getting ourselves into!
Thanks SO much for sharing your data and feedback. It is a real asset since the State stopped reporting.

Hi David, Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map. Most areas in Anthem have scorpions, some more than others. This area is not high scorpion activity but not without it either.
David says
Hello,
We would like to know about scorpion activity near N 44rd Dr and Anthem Way. Basically, right across from the mall. I see on you map that it’s yellow with a little pink. Can you tell us more about what we might expect in this area?
Thank you!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Joanne! We do have a lot of scorpion accounts in the area. The problem with that areas is that all the yards are different sizes. The big yards are more natural habitat. The smaller yards have more items or landscaping that allow scorpions to get higher closer to the home in higher numbers.
Joanne says
Hi I’m looking to buy a home in the Shea and 124th street area on the south side of Shea,my only fear is scorpions in that area. Is there a high prevalence of scorpions there??
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Mandy, Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! We do have scorpions in the 56th and Bell neighborhood. However, they aren’t as bad in this area as they are in others. The best thing to do is plan on preventing scorpion problems with your landscaping and regular scorpion and pest control!
Mandy says
We are looking at buying a house in the subdivision across from Mayo Clinic in Arabian Views – Cross Streets 56th st and Bell.
Is there much scorpion activity in this neighborhood?
Thanks!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Andra! Thanks for asking about the area just north of McDowell Mtn Park, specifically between Troon and Rio Verde. We generally see scorpions in the McDowell area. The closer you get to McDowell Mtn the more scorpions you are likely to have just because it’s their natural habitat. Hope that helps, and we are happy to answer any other questions or help with scorpion pest control! You can call or text us at 480-924-4111
Andra says
What about the area between Troon and Rio Verde where there are a lot of equestrian properties? Just north of McDowell Mtn Park?
Alejandra Haspel says
Hi, we are looking to rent a home, and we wanted to see if you would be able to tell us if scorpions might be a problem on that street? The street is E Charlotte Drive and the two cross streets are Cave Creek Road and East Pinnacle Road.
Thank You
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Todd! Thanks for the questions! We do have a lot of scorpions in San Tan Valley, but it’s not the worst area for them in the Valley. Yes scorpions are nocturnal, but they’re often seen during the day when they are inside. We are just starting to come into scorpion season. Scorpions aren’t really seen during the cooler months, but as it heats up they come out, and we are just getting there! Scorpions are commonly seen inside, especially if you have them around your home. They find there way inside as they hunt for food and a mate during the night. There are several things you can do to prevent scorpions problems including monthly scorpion pest control, sealing block wall fence and home, removing large landscaping rocks, and making sure that no bushes or trees actually touch the house on the exterior. You should also make sure you’re not overwatering (water attracts scorpions and the bugs they eat). We’d love to help!
Todd says
Hi, thanks for the info! We just moved to San tan valley which looks like the worst place for scorpions in the entire Phoenix area. Only been here a week so haven’t seen any yet. Is it helpful to be in a sub division? We do have a pool and rock on the outside of the house, and two 11 month boys. Are they nocturnal? How often are they found indoors?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Juli! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about your community! Of all the areas in the Valley, Scorpions love the foothills making scorpion control an important part of property maintenance there. Yes we service several properties in the Portofino area, and hundreds in the Ahwatukee Foothills.
Julie says
Do you service many clients in the Portofino community of the Ahwatukee Foothills? This would be on East Lakewood Parkway and Chandler Blvd (ish)
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Kaitlin! Congrats! Ahwatukee Foothills are beautiful! Unfortunately scorpions like it there too, but you can keep them away with regular monthly scorpion pest control services! Anywhere you build a new house you disturb the wildlife living there which in this area would bring up scorpions. Plus scorpions like areas by foothills! Kinda a double whammy. However you can keep scorpions (and other pests) under control with regular services. You can also do things like screen vents going into the house, seal the house, seal cracks in and paint the block wall fence, and landscape for scorpion control. You can find articles on how to do these things under the scorpion control tab in our menu!
Kaitlin says
Hi! Looking at buying a new build in a neighborhood that’s being developed in Ahwatukee Foothills near Desert Foothills Pkwy and Frye Rd. Do you think the development of the land in an area already close to the mountains would be a big concern?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Karen! Thanks for asking! We do not see an abundance of scorpion activity at Pinnacle at Desert Peak. We do see more scorpion activity north of there. You can actually type an address into the map to search. Condos are just as likely as homes to get scorpion problems. If a condo or house has large landscaping rocks, if they use a lot of water in the landscape, if there is rock on the exteriors of the condos these are all things that give scorpions areas to shelter in. Also, if an HOA does keep regular pests under control it will help with scorpions because it eliminates their food sources. Our map will show red for preventive treatments also.
Karen says
Hello – do you see a lot of scorpion issues around Pinnacle at Desert Peak or further north near 2425 Bronco Butte Trail in Phoenix?
Are condo complexes less likely to have scorpions? Also, would your map show more red if an HOA’s does pest control for preventative reasons?
Thanks in advance!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning June! Congrats in advance on the new home! Although there are scorpions all over the valley, these two addresses are not in high scorpion activity areas! There is always a chance of having scorpions in the Greater Phoenix Valley, so we recommend preventive measures like scorpion pest control! There is a search bar up in the top right corner of the map where you can type in the addresses, if you have any other homes you are interested in!
Jane Bastian says
Looking at two communities to move…sun city west or sun city grand. In particular 13840 Elmbrook Sun city West and 16911 Eureka Springs in Grand. Are either of these locations areas that have scorpions?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi John! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! We do have scorpions on the west side of 52nd Place, however they’re aren’t as many problems with them as the east side. Hope this helps, and as always please feel free to give a call or email if you have anymore questions!
John says
Hi, we’re looking to move to the area of E Corrine and N 50th place. The map shows scorpion activity on the east side of 52nd street. Any scorpions on the west side of 52nd that you’re aware of?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Ann! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about Mesa AZ 85213 area! We do service hundreds of accounts in that zip code with several scorpion control services on Lindsay and a hand-full on Brown.
Ann says

Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Marilyn! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about the different lot options you have! Congrats… A new home is exciting! You are right to think twice about a lot next to a wash. We ave seen over and over scorpions coming from wash areas and entering yards and then homes. You also would want to avoid lots next to drainages with large rocks. Scorpions like top shelter and get food under those large rocks in drainage areas.
As far as prevention goes, the number one thing to do is get a good scorpion & pest control maintenance scheduled. Scorpion pest control will kill scorpions themselves and the pest control will also eliminate pests that scorpions will be attracted to for food. You can also do things like seal the house, seal or paint your block wall fence, and avoid landscaping with things scorpions like to shelter in or under. That includes palm trees, large landscaping rocks.
I hope this answers your questions. We’d love to help! You can call the office anytime!
Marilyn says
Hi! Considering the purchase of a new build in Trilogy at Vistancia in Peoria. Will have the choice of lots for the home. At first I thought a lot next to a wash would be nice, since there would be no one living behind us. Now I’m thinking that would be a bad choice because we might be more susceptible to scorpions. What should we consider in choosing a new lot in a development? And what steps should we take to avoid problems once the hone is built?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Pam! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about the W. Arrowhead Dr. Clubhouse Dr. area! We do service multiple accounts on W. Arrowhead for scorpion control. The truth is, if you are prepared you won’t fear scorpions! There are many things you can do including a good scorpion pest control service and home sealing to keep them out. You have the power to keep scorpions out of your home and make sure the ones who trespass into your yard die soon thereafter. We highly recommend monthly scorpion pest control to keep an active barrier that will kill scorpions (and general pests) soon after entering yards from neighboring properties.
You can also get peace of mind with landscaping modifications and home sealing! We love the David Berrera and the pros at We Seal It for home sealing!
Pam Lafazanis says
Hi,
I’m thinking of purchasing a condo on W. Arrowhead Clubhouse Dr. in Glendale. I recently moved to Arizona from the Northeast, so I’m worried about scorpions!
Thank you,
Pam
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Steve! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and pointing that out! From our data it looks like that area has pretty limited scorpions.
They are still there, of course, but currently in lower numbers.
Golf courses can be an issue with yards that are good to scorpions. Like large landscaping rocks, pool deckings, rocks on the house etc. providing areas that are good for scorpions to shelter in. The less of these you have around your home, the better the scorpion control you’ll have naturally ;) Hope this helps! Have a great day!
Steven Vermeys says
Hello, your map and comments are a great help, thank you. I noticed someone left an inquiry about Litchfield Park, wigwam golf course in particular but there was no answer (RC I believe). I am also considering a place in the Village in Litchfield Park, on Barranco street and it is on the golf course. Any issues in that area? Any concerns in general with respect to scorpions, living on the golf course (heavy irrigation)? Thank you.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Melynda! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about the home you’re looking at! We do not currently treat any scorpion accounts on Regent in Layton Lakes but we do treat on the street just south (Aberdeen). Of course if there are scorpions under the rocks (good chance in the warmer months) they’ll be disturbed when the rock is removed. We don’t see this as creating a problem, because if this happens they were already there. But it could push any scorpions in the yard toward the house. A great time to treat the home and yard is before you move in (when it’s empty) to get a good protective barrier established!
Melynda says
Hey there! We are currently looking at a house in Layton Lakes in Gilbert in Regent rd. Have you had much scorpion activity in that area. I’ve lived in AZ my whole life (33 years, 21 years in Gilbert/Mesa) and have never had a scorpion in my home so It makes me nervous not knowing what our next home may have. Also, the backyard is gravel and we would be taking a lot of that rock out to add grass. Could that create a problem if one is not already there?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking Lizz! We do see scorpion pressure in Tempe, and we have treated them on College Lane. We recommend a monthly scorpion pest control and sealing of the house.
Lizz says
We are looking at property in College Lane, Tempe, AZ 85284. We have a family member that is allergic to scorpions. We are curious about the findings there. Thank you.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Krystle! Anthem is spotty on here. However, We do services on Anthem Way in Anthem. Hope that helps!
Krystle says
Hello, Looking at a home in Anthem right off of Anthem Way and West Memorial Dr. It looks like Anthem is spotty. Curious about scorpion activity in this specific area.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Alison,
Thank you for the questions. Those are some good observations. The map is based on how many clients we have in a given area. So the more clients we have the more red that area will be. So there is a couple things that can make those areas less reliable on our map. 1) Most homes in those areas are on bigger lots, so the density of the homes reduces the likelyhood of us having a certain number homes in a given area. 2) The Arizona Bark scorpion prefers to climb. Many of the homes in these rural settings do not generally have block fences which serve as the structure they prefer to live in. Also, many of those areas do not have grass and thus do not provide the amount of moisture required to increase scorpion food which would in return increase the amount of scorpions that can survive in a given area.
So ironically the yard that is most like the natural desert environment will have the least amount of scorpions.
Thank You! Darin Huffaker Responsible Pest Control
Alison Fleming says
Hi there, we are from mild climate of England, have lived in humid green Ozarks, Missouri for 20 years and we are soon to relocate to AZ. Looking at Phoenix specifically the Fountain Hills, North Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek areas. On the pest control app, Cave Creek has a few yellow areas, even fewer than Fountain Hills. How should this be interpreted? Are there only a few actual scorpions in the yellow areas, or…where there are no colored areas, is it just that folk choose not to use pest control? eg… a philosophy of ‘harmony with nature’ despite the scorpions?
Can you inform us, is there a land elevation a certain amount of feet above or below sea level, that is a helpful marker for scorpion existence?
Once a house has scorpions, is it a bit like ‘once a house has cockroaches’, in that they are very difficult to be rid of it takes years of pest control etc?
thanks
RC says
Hi there – we are looking to purchase a home in Old Litchfield Park, on the Wigwam golf course. We’re interested to know about scorpions in that area.Thank you!!!

Hi Julian! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! We do see quite a bit of scorpion activity in the area.

Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Kara! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about Recker Point and Bella Vista! Although scorpions aren’t a huge problem, Responsible Pest services several accounts in both of those neighborhoods. They are about the same when it comes to scorpion pressure. Both neighborhoods do have scorpions, but it can be hit and miss from house to house. The best defence against scorpions is a good offence! We always say, choose your favorite house and budget for monthly pest & scorpion control.
Kara says
Hello, we are moving to Recker Pointe off Ray and Recker. Our house backs up to Bella Vista’s neighborhood. Are there known issues in either of those two neighborhoods?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Angela! Thanks for stop[ping by our scorpion map and asking! Scorpion infestations aren’t as heavy in that area as they are a bit further south and west of there. The closer you get to the hills the more scorpions you are likely to notice. Hope that helps!
Angela says
Considering a house on E Solano Drive in Phoenix – near the bend where 44th turns into McDonald. Thank you in advance for your insights!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Jason! Congrats on the new home! There are scorpions in Sienna Hills area. However, they aren’t as heavy. The closer you get to the hills the more scorpions you will have. We always recommend a monthly scorpion pest control service in the area just to keep the active barrier working!
Jason says
Will be moving into a new build in sienna hills (next to verrado) in October. Any issues with that area?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Claudia! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about Catalan St. We do service a few accounts on Catalan for pest control and scorpion prevention, but scorpions do not seem to be a huge problem right there. However, scorpions can be hit and miss in a neighborhood, and they spread at night as they search for a mate and food.
Claudia Finerty says
Was wondering if Catalan St in Maricopa Az, in the Tortosa neighborhood has scorpions.
Tiffany says
Hi we’re looking to move to the black canyon city area. Wondering if you know of infestations there? Didn’t see on your map. It is surrounded by raw desert and have already seen large fire ants on the second story of the house!rattlesnake and havalinas as well. So a fence or wall will be put up I’m sure stirring up scorpion activity! We have young children and I’m conserned for there safety. Thank you!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Aaron! Thanks for asking about the Remington Heights neighborhood in Queen Creek! We love queen creek… It’s a great place to live! We have several team members living in the area. There are scorpions hit and miss the that north west section of Queen Creek. Remington Heights doesn’t seem to have as much activity as Power Ranch and other neighborhoods close by. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” is a good philosophy when it comes to scorpions, and monthly service is most effective for scorpion control. Hope that helps!
Aaron says
Hi! Purchasing a home in the SW section of Remington Heights (Queen Creek and Sossaman Rds). Any thoughts on the area?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Trishanna! Just like most areas around South Mountain, many residences in Laveen do have scorpion problems. Highly recommend doing a blacklight inspection around a property, and starting scorpion pest control before you even move in. Blacklight inspections let you see scorpion activity around the property as they glow in the dark, and starting early with scorpion control gives you a head start eliminating scorpions in sheltering areas around the property and keeping them out of your home!
Trishanna Grays says
Hello! I’m looking to move in the Laveen area. How bad is scorpion activity in this area? I have 6 children between 11 and 1. I’m terrified of them being stung.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Minh! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking about Marley Park and Sun City Grand areas! We do see much more scorpion activity around Marley Park than we do in Sun City Grand right now. We only service a hand full of scorpion accounts around the outskirts of Sun City Grand. However, that can change over the years as scorpion spread to new areas. Yes, most scorpion infesting homes are the Bark Scorpion variety. We always say the best way to avoid a scorpion problem is prevention and recommend monthly service for best scorpion control. If the property you end up buying is in an area with low scorpion activity, we recommend bi-monthly (every other month) scorpion & pest control service to prevent future problems!
Minh Pham says
We are looking at houses in the Marley Park neighborhood in Surprise AZ and Sun City Grand. It appears there are scorpions (bark?) in Marley Park but not in Sun City Grand. Is that correct?
There is also talk of rat infestations and roaches. We would like to know what we are up against pest wise.
Thanks!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Sarah! We do see scorpion problems in that area just east of N. Scottsdale Rd and south of Happy Valley Rd. However, there are several areas with much more scorpion activity. Make sure you specifically ask the property managers about scorpions issues and what kind of pest or scorpion control they’ve been using. You can also go do a blacklight inspection at night around the house or community you’re looking to rent in! Scorpions will glow in the dark a bright yellow-green under blacklight. Having scorpions isn’t the end if the world… They are successfully controlled with regular scorpion pest control service! Hope this helps!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Lisa! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map! We are not very experienced with scorpions in areas outside of the greater Phoenix and Tucson Vallies, however we’ve heard there are scorpion issues in Prescott which is close by Dewey and Mayer. That being said, colder areas do not have Arizona Bark Scorpions (the only really dangerous scorpion that infests homes) like the lower valleys do. Snakes are a different story and are all over the state.
LISA says
Hi there,
Hows Buckeye for scorpions? Areas? What about coldier area if we decide Dewey or Mayer Az? Are coldier areas less chance of scorpions & snakes? Is living in a community better then living on lots of dirt lands (like a ranch) which area to live is the best for least chance of snakes or scorpions? I have a baby and senior living with me so very concerned where to buy within a hour from work in Phoenix? Any city suggestions? Thank You.
Sarah Hill says

Hi Chatney Knapp! North East of the San Tan mall has lower scorpion activity at the moment. However, that can change because scorpion activity in any given area changes over time. Thanks for your question!
chatney knapp says
Hi There,
Were thinking about moving to gilbert, Is there an area/ neighborhood that you might reccomend for low scorpion activity?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Lou! The Lakes at Annecy is in a great area just nest to Discovery Park! We do not see much scorpion activity in the neighborhood…. HOWEVER, that can be due to the community having a contracted Pest Control Company. If they do, residents would call that company with scorpion problems. The GOOD news is we haven’t see a problem there! However, just to the west of Val Vista we do see quite a bit of scorpions. This means that scorpion populations are close by, so ask residents in the community to be sure!
Lou says
Hello,
I’m thinking about renting a townhome on S. Bahama Dr. Gilbert, it’s in The Lakes at Annecy, how is the scorpion activity there? I have a small child I’m worried about her being stung.
Thank You,

Hi Michelle, Greenfield Acres is a wonderful Gilbert neighborhood! We do treat homes nearby for scorpion control, but don’t see a huge problem in that specific community. We see more issues in the neighborhood just east of Greenfield Acres. Hope that helps!
Michelle says
Hello. Considering buying a home in Greenfield Acres at Greenfield and Chandler Heights in Gilbert. Do you know of a big scorpion problem in that area? Thank you!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Morning Bhanu!
Chandler is a wonderful place to live, but scorpion like it too. We do see a fair share of scorpion activity in the area just west of the 87 and south of Queen Creek Rd. There are several things you can do to prevent scorpion problems! Of course we recommend monthly scorpion pest control because it’s specialized specifically for scorpions and does not wear off between services.
However you can also remove debris that could act as shelter (like piles of leaves, old tiles or wood piles etc.) and make sure your sprinkler system isn’t leaking or overwatering, and do black light inspections in the dark (scorpions glow under black lights) or have your home sealed.
Bhanu says
Hi we are new to chandler, trying to get a house near Hamilton high school, 82 w aster dr… I have a small kid and worried about scorpions. Do you know of any scorpion problems here
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Maude Jones, Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map nd asking about the McDowell Mountain Ranch area! We do see a good amount of scorpion activity in the area. Noone should have to leave their home due to scorpions, because they can be controlled effectively with correct scorpion control methods. We recommend having a new home treated BEFORE you even move in. Treating an empty home lets us get to every nook and cranny, inside and out, that scorpions like to shelter in. After the initial treatment scorpions (and other bugs) will be coming out into the open dying for at least a week and up to a month. And of course, living in an area with high scorpion population means they will continue to enter your property, BUT after contacting our product barrier, they get sick and die. Our goal is to prevent scorpions from entering your home by keeping an active and effective barrier around the exterior of your home and yard. Our technicians can also advise on things you can do to reduce contributing conditions specific to your house. (For example sealing cracks and crevices, or landscaping tasks to eliminate harboring areas.) Hope this helps. As always please feel free to call, text, or email us if we may be of further assistance!
Maude Jones says
What’s the scorpion activity like around McDowell Mountain Ranch? I am looking at homes in the area and wanted to find out whether scorpions were going to be a problem. A friend of mine used to live near there and said that scorpions literally invaded her home and drove her out. She only lived there for six months because the creatures got so bad. She had to wear shoes 24-7 in her own home just so she could crush the little suckers if necessary. Apparently, they were very aggressive.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Lisa! Thanks for asking! We do have a handful of properties that we service for scorpion control in the south east corner of Pecos and Alma School. That being said, scorpions aren’t as heavy in this area as several areas like south mountain for example. Scorpions can be hit and miss in a neighborhood. The closer you are to a drainage area, green belt, or raw desert, the more scorpions you’re likely to see.
Lisa says
There is new housing being built on the south side of Pecos, just east of Alma School. Right now, there are a couple of apartment complexes on that side of the road but this is new development. Any feedback on scorpions in that area in general? My parents live on the north side of Pecos, just west of McQueen and haven’t seen one in 20 years.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Kim, We do see scorpion activity in that south west corner of 24th and Southern, it’s not as bad there as several valley areas, but there are scorpions.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Larry! Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! We do see scorpion problems in that area just south of Bell Rd. Scorpions can be hit and miss in a community. Homes closer neighborhood drainages and other rocked common areas have more problems because they provide more shelter for scorpions and their prey.
Kim Grandberry says
Looking at copper leaf villas southern and 24th how is scorpion activity
Larry Johnson says
My daughter is looking to buy a house in Surprise Farms near Bell Rd. and Cotton near the high school. Any idea how the scorpion issue is in that area? She is really freaked about the idea of scorpions.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Andrea, We do not service The Villas at Chandler Heights and AZ Ave. We also don’t see a lot of activity on that side of Bear Creek Golf Complex… We do see quite a bit on the other side of the Golf Course though. You should ask management if they have a scorpion pest control service in place. We do see regular scorpion issues by Ocotillo and Alma School area.
Andrea Benedict says
Hello. Wondering about scorpions at the Waterside apartments at Alma School and Ocotillo and at villas at chandler heights at Az ave and chandler heights. Thank you.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Amberly! We don’t see as much scorpion activity in the Hastings area. There is more in the Golf Club just northeast of you. That being said, scorpions are common in the Queen Creek area.
Amberly says
What about the Hasting Farms area of Queen Creek?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Christen! We do see quite a bit of scorpion activity in the Rennaissance area.
Christen Bejar says
Hi, is the Rennaissance Villas community in Litchfield Park an area for scorpions?
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Debby! Congratulations,That’s a beautiful area! There are quite a few scorpions around that corner of the Preserve. The closer you get to a preserve or hills the more likely scorpions will be close because they live in those desert areas.
However, with regular scorpion control and some simple solutions you can keep them out of your home. We highly recommend monthly scorpion control for best results, and that also takes care of their food sources (other bugs). We have a high 98% control rate, only 2% of homes need a (free) retreatment between services.
Our technicians can also help you with common sense solutions that help control scorpions and other pests. Like replacing door sweeps, weather stripping, sealing, and any other fixes that can help.
Debby Wolvos says
Hi, We are in the process of buying a home on Lookout Mountain in Phoenix. Corner of Hillary and 19th Way. Can you tell me anything about scorpion problems in that neighborhood? Thank you very much.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Wes!
Scorpions are hit and miss in the Provence Retirement Community in Maricopa. We do service several accounts there, However, the population of this pest in that area is lower than many other areas in the valley. It’s a great place to live!
Wes says
Hi, We currently live in Loveland, Colorado and looking to move the Province retirement community in Maricopa. We have been looking at a couple of homes on West Cribbage road and was wanting to know if that road has a scorpion problem and the Province community in general. We have zero experiance dealing with scorpions and we’re trying to get educated on the subject. Thank you for any recommendations you may provide.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Gina! That’s very good to not see one scorpion in Gilbert for 3 years! Thanks for stopping by our map and asking about that section of chandler! We do see some scorpions there, but not a ton. There seems to be a smaller population of them in that area. That being said, scorpions are very common in Chandler and Gilbert so there are no guarantees you won’t see one. If you do, we are more than happy to keep them out of your home & yard with monthly scorpion control. Our techs can also advise on common sense solutions that help control pests specifically for your home.
GINA MAREZ says
I CURRENTLY LIVE IN GILBERT ON DESERT AVE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A SCORPION IN 3 YEARS. WE ARE NOW HAVING TO MOVE, AND HAVE LOOKED AT KENT AVE CHANDLER , BETWEEN AZ AVE AND MCQUEEN AND WARNER AND RAY. HOW BAD IS IT? WE ALSO WANT TO CHECK OUT SIGNAL BUTTE AND UNIVERSITY AREA…
Christen Bejar says
Hi, I found a live scorpion in the window sill of a unit in the Renaissance Villas complex in Litchfield Park AZ 85340. Patio door had been open for a few minutes but I’m really worried.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Beth! Finding a dead scorpion in a vacant house means there was or likely is high scorpion activity very close. Also, We do service several accounts in that area. The good news is that finding a dead scorpion means they probably had a scorpion control service before you came!
Beth Cochran says
I’m looking to move near 32nd and Shea and found a dead scorpion in a vacant house I went to see. I was curious if they are common in that area? More specifically near Onyx and 33rd Pl. in Phoenix.
Thank you!
Joyce says
Hi, this is very helpful. Considering a move to one of the Valley’s Retirement Villages. Can you tell me which has the least scorpion and pest problems? Does Sun City or Leisure World have less of a problem? Or is there another retirement village that’s better than those two? Thanks!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Rachel! Twelve Oaks does have scorpions, just like anywhere in the valley. The good news is, it’s not a particular hotspot! Hope that helps. If you have anymore questions we’re happy to help!
Rachel Bernstein says

Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Amanda! Thanks for visiting our scorpion map and asking about The Groves! It’s a great community, and We do service quite a few homes in the neighborhood. There are scorpions there, but you can keep them out of your home with monthly scorpion control.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Daniel! Yes there are scorpion problems between McClintock and University in Tempe. Take a blacklight flashlight out at night after it warms up, and inspect the area! Good places to look are on block walls and fences, and at the base of structures.
Daniel says
I live near McClintock and University in Tempe. Is there a scorpion problem here?
Amanda says
Hello! I was wondering what kind of issues there are with scorpions around The Groves in Mesa on Val Vista between University and Brown? Thanks :)
Megan says
We found a potential house in the Copper Basin community, San Tan Valley(Rock Drive.) How is scorpion activity out there? We used you guys when we rented a house in Chandler (2016-2018) first experience with scorpions in my then 27 years living in AZ.) We are of course now terrified of them, but you guys were awesome and took care of our the problem!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Eric!
Our scorpion map gets updated on a regular basis. The markers point to specific areas we service for scorpions. We do not give out addresses to protect our customers privacy. Responsible Pest Control does service a few locations on that street close by. However, scorpions have not been as heavy in that area.
eric says
Thanks for the great tool. So helpful! Is the 2019 updated map being released soon? Also, do the markers symbolize an area, specific location, range, etc? Is there a way to access this info on your website?
Looking into Ridge View apartments in Fountain Hills on 13225 N Fountain Hills Blvd Fountain Hills 85268. We don’t necessarily have the option to choose Responsible as our provider as the complex has that authority so we just want to avoid scorpions in general. Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks so much once again!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Thanks for asking Ashlyn! There are scorpions in that area, however it’s not as heavy as other areas. We do service a couple homes on that street.

Hi Steve! Congrats on your upcoming move! The good news is our scorpion map gets updated on a regular basis!
Steve says
Hey!
I have been using your map to navigate where to live ever since my wife and I relocated to the Phoenix area from NYC.
It’s been a great tool keeping us clear of scorpions so far!
We are planning on moving again and we found a house off Priest Dr (between Ray Rd. & Warner) The map looks fairly clear in that area and the home owners say they haven’t had a problem or even seen a scorpion on their property in years. Just wanted to check if there is any update to that area since this map was published
Thanks!
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hello Liz,
Gilbert is a GREAT place to live! However, we do have several scorpion control accounts in the area, including some specifically on Fruitvale Ave.
Liz Morales says
Good Morning,
I’m thinking about renting a home on Fruitvale Avenue, it’s in the Coronado Ranch community of Gilbert, AZ. I have a little 4 year old that had a terrible reaction to a scorpion sting at another place. I know pest control really helps, but I was just wondering if you get many reports on sightings in the area.
Thank You
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Peggy!
Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking your question about Estrella Mountain Ranch area!
Most of Estrella Mountain Ranch area is considered scorpion territory, or soon to be as newer portions become more established.
We have watched as some newer neighborhoods start out without too much scorpion activity, but become infested as scorpions spread. Sometimes scorpions get established via landscaping materials that are brought in like rocks and plants (nurseries have scorpions too). Scorpions also spread by their nature as they actively search at night for food and a mate during scorpion season.
Peggy says
Hi was wondering about scorpion activity in the Estrella Mountain Ranch Area…La Mirada Dr and San Gabriel
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Good Morning Lori!
Thanks for stopping by our scorpion map and asking! We do see a fare share of scorpion activity in that north east corner of Baseline and N. Gilbert Rd. Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, we are happy to help!
Lori says
How about the older community at 1295 N Ash St Gilbert, AZ 85233

Andrea Ellingboe says
Hi there, we are looking to purchase a home in Willis Ranch (on Folley Place) ner McQueen and Frye Roads in Chandler. The Seller Disclosure states that they have seen scorpions. Do you have any idea how bad the situation is? We have pets and are concerned about them as well (due to the pesticides, as well as the scorpions!)
I appreciate your feedback.
Pest Control Mesa, AZ says
Hi Ginger! Canada Vistas in North Scottsdale is a nice area! PLUS We don’t see as much scorpion activity there either. We believe that an ounce of prevention is better than an pound of cure. Hence, we’d recommend monthly or bi-monthly pest & scorpion control service to make sure your home stays free of scorpions and other desert pests like roaches, ants, crickets, spiders, earwigs etc.
Ginger says
Would like to move to Canada Vistas Scottsdale Az Pima and 90th street. The house is on a street next to a large wash drainage area. Can you tell me about this area?
Thank you
Samantha says
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!!

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.

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!

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!

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.
