Where Do Scorpions Live?

Scorpions live in deserts and hotter semi-dry climates… Like here in Phoenix AZ. Scorpions also live throughout the US and world.

 

Scorpions are common household invaders that like to live in cracks, crevices and void areas found in homes (and other structures). These areas provide cool shelter during hot days and warmth in the winter. Bark Scorpions will nest or hibernate together during cooler months infesting sheltering areas.

In the Greater Phoenix AZ Valley, a favorite place scorpions like to live is inside concrete block wall fences that divide back yards and neighborhoods! Bark scorpions are the main type of scorpion in these areas, and Arizona Bark Scorpions are the most venomous scorpions in the USA.

Bark Scorpions prefer areas that are cool and have an air flow. Cracks, crevices and voids inside concrete block wall fences provide ideal conditions for scorpions to THRIVE. Scorpions in AZ also like to live inside concrete expansion joints and small crevices under concrete.

Scorpions like to live under or inside:

• Landscaping bark
• Block Wall Fences
• Logs or wood piles
• Large and medium sized landscaping rocks
• Concrete sidewalks and patios,
• Debris and material piles.
• Some scorpion species live in underground burrows (these are not Arizona Bark Scorpions).

There are a few scorpions that spend daytime hours underground inside burrows. Scorpion burrows can be over 3 feet deep, depending on how dry the ground is because scorpions dig deep enough to feel moist and cool.

Arizona Bark Scorpions like to REST on vertical objects like palm trees, bushes, stucco siding, and of course concrete block fence walls!

Scorpions In The Attic?

Do scorpions live in the attic? Phoenix Valley residents are often worried there’s scorpions in their attic. However, scorpions do not inhabit attics when temps rise above 100 degrees. (Source: Smith & Whitman NPMA Field Guide) Usually when scorpions get inside through vents, they’re coming from the exterior of the house, entering cool vents and then falling through them into the home. That’s why we seal vents for you, or show you how to do it yourself!

Scorpions have to conserve water loss and are comfortable in cool moist areas with an air flow. If scorpions do nest in an attic during the winter they will come down through wall voids or exterior vents during the early spring. If your home has an active scorpion control barrier, those scorpions will contact the product application and die shortly thereafter.
