Have Scorpions?
Scorpions are dangerous predators with unique features. They possess 8 legs, two powerful claws, and a curved tail with a venomous stinger. Their pincers are used to grasp their prey, while the stinger injects venom into their victims. Similar to shrimp, scorpions have a tough exoskeleton. These fascinating creatures can range in size from a mere ½ inch to a staggering 9 inches.
Scorpions are primarily found in warm climates, where they hide during the day beneath rocks and logs. However, they become active at night, searching for water and sustenance. This behavior often leads them to unconventional places such as attics, crawl spaces, wall voids, bathrooms, and closets. Interestingly, scorpions possess a unique ability to glow in the dark, which allows them to be easily detected using UV black lights.

To Treat Scorpions?
Venomous scorpions can pose a threat to your loved ones, but there are steps you can take to keep them at bay. While scorpion stings are usually not fatal, they can cause pain, numbness, and swelling, especially in children, the elderly, and pets.
Scorpions often hide in wood and rock piles near the foundation of your home, making it imperative to hire a professional who can inspect and seal entry points as well as treat the exterior. These pests can enter your home through even the tiniest openings, so it’s crucial to take action.
Once inside, scorpions can be tricky to track down and eliminate. They gravitate towards cool, dark spaces and can even climb curtains, bedding, and clothing. In addition, scorpions can produce large litters of 20 or more offspring at a time. Their tough exoskeletons make them difficult to get rid of, requiring the use of professional-grade products.
By being proactive and taking these measures, you can ensure the safety of your family and pets by minimizing the risk of scorpion stings. Don’t wait until it’s too late to protect your loved ones – act now!
Bark Scorpions
The dangerous bark scorpions that have invaded Las Vegas. These venomous creatures have a bite that is even more painful than a bee sting. While their bites rarely cause death, they can be particularly dangerous for the very young, old, and infirm. Measuring just 1-2 inches, bark scorpions are smaller than most scorpions. They have long, thin pincers and their color can range from light tan to a darker golden brown. One unique feature is their tendency to curl their tails to the side when at rest.
Bark scorpions have a sneaky way of getting into your home. They like to climb on trees and hide under the bark. You might find them lurking near areas with irrigation, pools, palm trees, wooden fences, or even on the walls of your home. These crafty creatures can climb walls and even walk across ceilings. Don’t be surprised if you find them in unexpected places like bathtubs, sinks, or even beds if they fall from the ceiling. They are most active when nighttime temperatures are above 77 degrees Fahrenheit. During the hottest part of the summer, they are less active, and they become completely inactive during the winter when it gets cold.
Scorpions are attracted to human habitation because of the lights and moisture that attract insects. During the day, they hide under rocks, bark, wood piles, or other debris. It’s important to be mindful of these potential hiding spots and inspect them regularly. If you have a lot of landscape rocks, they can create ideal hiding places for scorpions. Be sure to remove or treat these areas to help reduce the scorpion population in your surroundings.
Giant Desert Hair Scorpions
Unique creatures native to the vibrant city of Las Vegas. These impressive scorpions make their presence known at night, emerging from their underground hideouts in search of prey. While they do possess a powerful bite, it’s important to note that their venom is not as potent as that of a bark scorpion. In fact, their bite can be likened to that of a bee or wasp. However, it’s crucial to exercise caution, as individuals with allergies to their venom could experience potentially fatal consequences. Delve into the captivating world of these mighty desert dwellers and unravel their secrets!
Wind Scorpions
Wind Scorpions, also known as camel spiders or sun spiders, are a fascinating order of Arachnida called Solifugae. These creatures can reach impressive lengths of up to 12 inches, including their legs. Most Wind Scorpions inhabit desert environments and feed on other arthropods and animals that dwell on the ground. Despite their appearance of having ten legs, they actually have only eight, like other arachnids. Their unique physiology includes a pair of appendages that are used to detect obstacles and prey.
Solifugae have been the subject of numerous urban legends and exaggerated tales regarding their size, speed, behavior, appetite, and lethality. While they are indeed swift compared to other invertebrates, Wind Scorpions do not possess venom or produce webs. The primary risk they present to humans is their defensive bite when handled. Although the chance of a bite leading to death is essentially nonexistent, their powerful pincers can inflict a large and jagged wound that is susceptible to infection.
