If someone has been stung, especially a child or an older person, go to the nearest hospital now and do not wait. If you found a scorpion in the house, it is probably not the only one, so let us get to where the others are hiding.
Our scorpion control treats the cracks, door edges and outdoor areas where scorpions hide and travel. We seal openings and cut down the insects they feed on. Scorpions can withstand a lot of products and long stretches of hunger, so we also clear the clutter, stones and wood from around the house and keep following up with you.
They move around at night once the air cools, and you see them more in summer near walls and doors.
In shoes and clothes left on the floor, or in storeroom boxes and cement bags.
New buildings and areas next to desert or mountains are more exposed, especially after digging work.
Scorpions feed on cockroaches and other insects, so having them around draws scorpions closer to the house.
By day a scorpion prefers a cool, dark place: under stones, in a crack in a boundary wall, under stacked bricks or wood, or in a wall cavity. At night it comes out to look for food. If it finds a door threshold with a gap or an open pipe, it gets inside.
The problem grows with the heat, or with digging and construction in the area, because that moves scorpions out of their spots. Villas and ground-floor homes next to farmland, mountains or empty lots are the most exposed.
Not all scorpions are equally dangerous, but it is not safe to judge that by eye. Treat any sting, especially on a child, as an emergency until a doctor says otherwise.
Where did you see it? What is the house close to? Are there children? Then we give you the price and the time.
The technician checks around the house, the door thresholds, the cracks and anywhere a scorpion could hide.
A suitable product goes in cracks, along door edges and around the house, because that is the route scorpions take.
We show you which openings need sealing, and we treat the insects that attract scorpions.
The receipt lists the product name, the areas and the wait time. We stay in touch with you, because scorpions take patience.
If someone is stung: wash the spot with soap and water, apply a cold compress, keep them calm and go to the hospital, especially if it is a child, an older person or someone with a chronic illness. Do not cut the wound and do not tie on a tight bandage. If you can photograph the scorpion from a distance, do.
Every day: shake out shoes and clothes before you put them on, move the bed away from the wall, clear clutter off the floor, and fit a sealing strip under your doors. A glue board near a door can be a useful way to tell if scorpions are around, but it does not treat the problem.
Children and pets stay away from treated areas until they dry. The technician tells you how long, and it is written on the receipt.
If you have a small child or someone sick at home, tell us when you book so we can start with the places where they sleep and set a suitable plan.
With scorpion control, the worry is promises nobody wrote down. This is the sheet the technician hands you.

Go to the hospital immediately, before anything else. Once you know everyone is okay, call us so we can deal with the place.
It could be one that passed through, or there could be others. It is a good idea to look around the house and seal the openings. If you see more than one, or you have children, call us.
No, because scorpions are tough. The treatment is a suitable product in the places they use, along with sealing openings, clearing clutter and cutting down insects.
Yes, and in those places we pay attention to the boundary walls, the garden and the door thresholds. Tell us the size of the property and how close it is to the desert.
It depends on the size of the place and the outdoor areas, and you get the price by phone. It is written down before we start, and it does not go up after you agree.
One phone call, and we set a time with you.
