Brown Scorpion Infestation? Here’s What You Need to Know

Paradise Valley, Arizona, is known for its stunning desert landscapes and beautiful homes. But amidst the natural beauty, there’s an unwelcome guest you might encounter—brown scorpions. 

If you’ve noticed these creepy crawlers around your home, don’t panic! Here’s everything you need to know about dealing with a brown scorpion infestation and why Green Machine Pest Control is your go-to solution.

What Are Brown Scorpions?

Eliminate brown scorpions from your home with Green Machine Pest Control's expert services. 

Brown scorpions, also known as Arizona bark scorpions, are common in Paradise Valley. These little pests are about 2-3 inches long and have a distinct light brown color. 

They’re nocturnal, which means they come out at night, making it harder to spot them during the day. But if you’ve seen one, there are probably more lurking around.

Why Are Brown Scorpions a Problem?

These scorpions aren’t just creepy—they can be dangerous. A sting from a brown scorpion can cause severe pain, numbness, and in some cases, serious medical issues, especially for children and the elderly. 

Having brown scorpions around your home is not only unsettling but also a safety hazard.

Signs of a Brown Scorpion Infestation

How to Spot Them

Scorpions are sneaky. They love to hide in dark, cool places like under rocks, inside shoes, or even in your home’s nooks and crannies. If you see one scorpion, chances are there are more. 

Look for them in basements, attics, and garages. You might also notice them near water sources like sinks and bathtubs since they need water to survive.

Other Clues

Aside from seeing the actual scorpions, you might find their molted exoskeletons around your home. These look like empty shells of the scorpions and can be a sign that you have an active infestation. 

Pay attention to any unusual activity at night, especially if you hear scurrying sounds or notice small shadows moving quickly.

Preventing Brown Scorpion Infestations

Home Maintenance Tips

Keeping brown scorpions out starts with maintaining your home. Seal any cracks and gaps in walls, windows, and doors. 

Scorpions can squeeze through tiny openings, so be thorough. Clear away clutter both inside and outside your home, as these critters love hiding spots. Regularly check your home for any signs of pests, and keep it clean and dry.

Yard Care

Your yard is the first line of defense against brown scorpions. Trim back bushes, trees, and any vegetation that touches your home. Remove piles of rocks, wood, and debris where scorpions can hide. 

If you have a garden, keep it well-maintained and avoid overwatering, as excess moisture can attract scorpions.
