Scorpion Control in Austin, TX

The striped bark scorpion is the only scorpion species widespread in Central Texas — and they're common in Austin homes, especially in new construction and Hill Country properties. Their sting is painful but rarely dangerous to healthy adults. We reduce populations and seal the gaps that let them inside.

Species we treat in Austin

  • Striped bark scorpion (Centruroides vittatus)

Signs of an infestation

  • Scorpions sighted indoors, especially at night or in bathtubs and sinks
  • Activity in garages, attics, and ground-floor rooms after rain
  • Stings — sharp pain similar to a wasp sting
  • Glowing scorpions visible under UV blacklight inspection
  • Increased sightings during summer heat or after heavy rainfall

Why this matters in Austin

Scorpions in Austin enter through weep holes, garage door corners, and slab penetrations — gaps as small as 1/16 inch. New developments in northwest Austin, Dripping Springs, and Cedar Park are especially affected because construction disturbs native scorpion habitat.

Our treatment approach

Scorpion control requires a different approach than insects. We apply micro-encapsulated residuals to harborage zones, treat weep holes and exterior cracks, perform nighttime UV inspections when requested, and recommend exclusion work to seal entry points. Plan on quarterly service for ongoing protection.
