We live in a mature area that is very wooded, hence we were infested with bark scorpions. So we suffered their frequent appearance inside our home, particularly in the summer. We were told by other pest control companies that scorpions are difficult or impossible to get rid of. After being stung several times, once while we slept, we drew the line. So when Responsible Pest Control assured us they could address the problem effectively, we hired them. As a result, in just a few treatments we were FREE of scorpions! And all other pests for that matter. They come regularly every other month and anytime we see a pest. This company is reliable, knowledgeable, friendly, and trustworthy.

Learning to Live With Scorpions

May 14, 2019 by Pest Control Mesa, AZ

If there’s one thing I’ve learned while living in Arizona: it’s the scorpions’ state and we’re just living in it (I mean…they were here first, so I guess they have the advantage…).

In my eyes, scorpions are at the top of the creepy-crawler pyramid. It wasn’t until I moved away for one year that I realized I have shaped so many of my daily routine habits around expecting to find a scorpion somewhere in my home. I don’t know if this is the usual for every person from Arizona, but in my situation it was the only option.

The first house I lived in as a kid had a minor scorpion problem. My family identified the areas that the scorpions had claimed as their own, so we knew where to take caution when wandering our home. Unfortunately, one of those areas happened to be the closet in my bedroom. Let me tell you, picking up a shirt off the floor and realizing a scorpion is clinging on to the bottom of it is not a pleasant thing to experience while getting ready for school at 7am (or ever). Other than that area of my closet, we occasionally found them in other areas of the house. So, lucky me, I got the worst of it. However, this was nothing compared to what was to come.

In 2010, my family moved into a house that we built in a small town outside of Scottsdale. It was a beautiful house built in a lot surrounded by desert, overlooking the mountains and valley in the distance. This sounds nice, but we must have built this house on sacred scorpion ground. Every scorpion in Arizona was out to get us. I’ve heard that building a new house can stir up the wildlife around it, but this was nothing like what I expected. Without exaggeration, we found at least 10-15 scorpions in our house weekly. This changed up the way my family functioned in everyday life. There are different ways that you can adapt to having scorpions taking over your house, and I think I’ve become accustomed to all of them.

What I’ve Learned

Living with scorpions is stressful! Life is better without them… Get rid of them with the Scorpion Control experts at Responsible Pest Control and RELAX – We’ve got this!

Shoes. All of the time. Walking through the house, whether it’s carpet, tile, or wood- shoes. I do not think I’ve walked around a house without shoes on since 2010. Specifically a pair of flip flops that I kept next to my bed so I could immediately slip into them when getting up in the morning (plus, flip flops mean you do not have to check the inside to make sure no scorpions have cozied up waiting for your toes to disturb them). I have become so used to this that it isn’t even an inconvenience anymore. Just a fact of life that you have to wear shoes all of the time, or you might step on a scorpion.

Another adaptation I’ve made is realizing that any material is fair game for a scorpion to be hiding in. Clothes, towels, sheets, carpet- it’s all up for grabs by scorpions. There are certain habits that have stuck with me that come from the house we lived in (which should be known as The Scorpion Sanctuary). I shake everything. Getting out of the shower, shake the towel out. Picking clothes up off the floor, shake them out. Getting into bed, shake the blankets. The force of shaking everything for 15-20 seconds should be enough to send any stowaway scorpions flying. Shaking everything before getting too close gives some reassurance that there won’t be any stinging incidents.

A major way that helped my family and I learn to live with scorpions around was carrying around a blacklight flashlight to help spot them. It’s truly a phenomenon how scorpions glow under blacklights, but it’s incredibly convenient if you’re trying to spot them in your home. This was probably the most beneficial way I have learned to live with scorpions. If you want peace of mind that you won’t be getting stung, do a quick scan of the room with a blacklight flashlight. It isn’t totally effective because of places they can hide, but it certainly helps.

These habits, always wearing shoes, shaking everything out and blacklight inspections, might not seem that abnormal to another Arizona native. I learned they were slightly out of the ordinary while living out of state for a year. This is the same time I learned that the threat of getting stung by a scorpion is not even on the radar of people who don’t live in our desert state. When I was asked why I always wore shoes or always shake things out, and I respond that I’m simply making sure there are no scorpions I could disturb and risk getting stung by, I got looked at like a crazy person. “Scorpions???” People would ask with such confused looks. It’s just not something they have to worry about.

How Scorpions Spread Phoenix AZ

March 15, 2019 by Pest Control Mesa, AZ

4 Ways Scorpions SPREAD

Most people who get scorpions after living in the same home for years wonder how scorpions spread. Here are four ways we’ve watched scorpions spread in the Greater Phoenix Valley over the last 10 years.

#1 Nightly Hunting & Mating

Phoenix Scorpion Control Scorpions spread during nightly activities as they search for a mate & prey. During the spring & summer scorpions ROAM at night in search of a MATE. Scorpions SPREAD during nightly HUNTS entering yards and homes looking for food & shelter. Scorpions often enter homes as shelter when the sun comes up.

I purchased a home in Surprise and when my daughter moved in we realized that there was a scorpion problem. My other daughter that lived next door had the same problem several years ago but was solved within two months of Responsible Pest Control starting their service. We have now not seen any scorpions in 9 months. I also have been very pleased with their customer service and service professionals. I have been in the valley for over 60 years and Responsible is the best. – Vince E. Surprise AZ

#2 Construction

We have noticed scorpions getting established in new areas due to development. If you have a new neighborhood or other building under construction near by, chances are you’re going to see more scorpion activity.

New development and construction disturbs scorpions living in the desert and pushes them out into other properties that are close by. Construction can also inadvertently brings scorpions in with the materials they build with. New development digs up land that was serving as home to scorpions and pests, and builds on top of their burrows, etc. If there are CONSTRUCTION AREAS around your home beware! These zones tend to disrupt scorpion habitats so much that they will look for somewhere else to make their home. (IE Yours!)

Initially contacted them for Scorpion control due to heavy construction in the immediate area. Responsible Pest Control has a formula and spraying method that took care of the problem on the first visit. I have been using them on a monthly basis ever since… that was nearly three years ago. In that time, and I am not exaggerating … my family has seen perhaps three or four scorpions around the home/yard, and they were already DEAD. Family owned and operated. I highly recommend this Maricopa, AZ Based Company. You can not go wrong with RPC. Marc G. in Gilbert AZ

#3 Moving

People moving from highly scorpion populated areas unknowingly bring scorpion stowaways to new areas in their boxes etc.

Ever opened a moving box and to find a scorpion? It’s a common occurrence! Scorpions enter boxes for shelter when the sun comes up. (Better than hiding in your pants!) Weather they’re stored in your garage or just used for moving items, scorpions spread from one place to another in boxes.

#4 Landscaping Materials

landscaping scorpion control phoenix This is more common than you may think! Scorpions can also be transported in via landscaping materials.

Nurseries DO have scorpions, and when you buy a new plant, or something for the yard, you may be getting more than you paid for. On several occasions we have seen rocks brought in and dumped in a pile, just waiting to be spread in someones new yard with SCORPIONS (and other pests) crawling around in it. Just be aware.

I was very unhappy with our previous pest control provider. I was seeing a lot of scorpions around still so I made the switch to Responsible Pest. They are very friendly and very knowledgeable about all pests and they use the best mixture of poisons to best suit whatever pest you are dealing with. I have only seen 1 scorpion since switching to them and I think I brought it in with some trees I was planting. – Mesa AZ

Mesa Pest Control – Why do we See More Bugs in the Summer?

June 2, 2012 by Pest Control Mesa, AZ

Oh, you thought you didn’t have any scorpions or roaches till now? During cooler months, insects like to stay under cover and come out where we see them less frequently. They were still there though their numbers were fewer. A few months ago, you might have only seen a roach or scorpion outside at night. Now its getting hot. Bugs move faster in the heat and come out to eat and reproduce all the time.

We make sure your landscape is being treated where insects like to live, breed, and feed. At Responsible Pest Control we use different products during the summer. Our summer products give you quick results with a residual that will last 30-60 days in the Arizona heat.
