Scorpion Control for El Paso Homes
Seal entry points and reduce scorpion activity around your home.
In El Paso
El Paso sits in the Chihuahuan Desert, where dry shelter and warm nights favor scorpion activity. The striped bark scorpion is the most common species across Texas and hides beneath rocks, boards, debris, and around human dwellings. Xeriscape rock, block walls, stucco gaps, and items stored against a home can create protected routes indoors. Activity often becomes easier to notice during warm months and around summer rain, when insects that scorpions hunt are also active.

Questions: Scorpions
Are scorpions in El Paso dangerous?
The common striped bark scorpion can deliver a painful sting, but stings are not usually life-threatening to healthy adults. Children, older adults, and people with allergies may face greater risk. For any sting, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for case-specific guidance; call emergency services for severe symptoms.
Why do scorpions keep getting inside my house?
Scorpions flatten their bodies and use small openings beneath doors, around pipes, in block walls, and through damaged screens or stucco. They may follow insect prey or seek protected conditions. A useful plan combines inspection, targeted treatment, reduced clutter, pest management, and practical exclusion instead of relying on a single spray.
Does scorpion control include sealing the house?
ARK inspects common entry points and includes practical sealing recommendations in the control plan. The exact work depends on the construction and the gaps found. Door sweeps, utility penetrations, vents, block-wall joints, and stucco cracks deserve attention because treatment works better when access, shelter, and insect prey are reduced together.
