Getting Scorpions Out of Your Van Alstyne Home

Scorpions in a Van Alstyne home are almost always after food and shade. Bark scorpions climb block walls and stucco, hide in rock beds, stacked wood and debris by day, and slip inside after dark through gaps around doors, windows and pipes. The pest control company often starts with a nighttime sweep with an ultraviolet light, because scorpions show up bright blue-green under it, and then treats the foundation, wall bases and hiding places. Treating the crickets, roaches and other insects they eat is part of the job, since scorpions follow their food. If someone is stung, get medical advice without waiting. The estimate below shows typical prices.

Before the Exterminator Arrives

  • Call poison control or 911 for a serious sting. Trouble breathing, muscle twitching, drooling, blurred vision, or any sting to a young child or older adult is an emergency. Call 911 or poison control right away.
  • For any other sting, still call poison control or a doctor. Stings can hurt a great deal even when they are not dangerous. Poison control answers at any hour and can say whether the person needs to be seen.
  • Do not pick it up with bare hands. Photograph the scorpion from a safe distance, or cover it with a jar. A picture or the scorpion itself helps medical staff and the technician identify it.
  • Shake out shoes, clothes and towels. Scorpions hide in shoes, laundry on the floor and folded towels. Shake things out before use, and keep bedding from touching the floor.

Signs You Need Scorpion Control

  • A scorpion in the sink, the tub or on a wall. Bark scorpions climb rough walls and stucco, and they fall into sinks and tubs they cannot climb out of. A scorpion in the bathroom is one of the most common finds.
  • Several found at night, or the same room again and again. Scorpions are active after dark. Finding more than one points to a group living in or near the house rather than a stray.
  • Bright glow under a black light. Scorpions glow blue-green under ultraviolet light, which is how technicians hunt them at night along walls, rock beds, fences and eaves.
  • Crickets, roaches and spiders in numbers. Scorpions follow their food. A garage or yard full of other insects keeps feeding scorpions, so insect numbers matter.
  • Rock, block walls, wood piles or debris against the house. Landscaping rock, cinder block fences, stacked wood, tile and boards give scorpions daytime shelter and a short walk to the foundation.

Scorpion Control in Van Alstyne: What to Know

Texas and Oklahoma homes mostly see the striped bark scorpion, found in garages, woodpiles, block walls and under rocks, and it follows insects indoors, with a sting that is painful and worth a call to poison control.

Calls about scorpion problems come from every Van Alstyne ZIP code, day and night.

How the Job Is Done

  • Black-light inspection. After dark, the technician sweeps an ultraviolet light along walls, fences, rock beds, eaves and the foundation. Scorpions glow, which shows where they hide and where they come in.
  • Treat and seal. Product goes on along the foundation, wall bases, entry points and shelter spots, and gaps around doors, windows and pipes are sealed or flagged for repair.
  • Cut off their food. Treating for the crickets, roaches and other insects scorpions eat removes the reason for them to stay. Repeat visits catch newcomers, and clearing rock, wood and debris near the house helps.

When you call

What to Tell the Pest Control Company

A minute of detail on the phone means the right plan on the first visit.

  • Where you found each scorpion, what time of day, and whether the same room keeps turning one up.
  • Whether anyone has been stung, and whether young children, older adults or pets live in the home.
  • What the yard looks like: block walls, landscaping rock, woodpiles, irrigation or palm trees.
  • What other insects you see, such as crickets or roaches, and whether you want a one-time visit or a repeating plan.
