There are over 2000 species of scorpions worldwide, with about 90 in the US. If you have scorpions, the Arizona bark scorpion, striped bark scorpion or desert hairy scorpion are the ones you’re dealing with.
Scorpions are nocturnal and solitary hunters but they often hide in groups in cool, dark places during the day. Because they’re adapted to survive in harsh environments, removing one or two won’t solve the problem. You need an Axiom trained technician to identify and eliminate scorpions at the source.
Scorpions are attracted to moisture and shelter, hiding under rocks, in garages and even inside shoes or bedding. They glow under UV light so nighttime detection is possible but they are so elusive they are hard to manage. Their venomous sting can range from mild irritation to severe reactions, that’s why professional treatment is required. The biology and survival instincts of scorpions require an expert approach—leave it to the pros at Axiom Eco-Pest Control.
