Scorpions, start to finish
Scorpion pest control in Tucson
Scorpion pest control in Tucson layers liquid, granular and dust products into the cracks and landscape beds where scorpions hide, and adds glue traps to show what is still moving.
Scorpions spend the day tucked into "harborage": the gaps in block walls, the gravel beds along the house, weep holes and the voids behind them. No single product reaches all of those places, so each layer goes where it works, and we close the openings that lead inside.

Why one perimeter spray is not enough for scorpions
One perimeter spray does not stop scorpions, because they walk high on walls and steer around treated surfaces. A band of product along the foundation leaves the wall above it, the eaves and the window frames open, so we treat where they hide and seal where they get in.
Cutting the insects scorpions feed on
Good scorpion control also cuts the insects, spiders and mice scorpions feed on, so fewer scorpions are drawn to the home. Rodent nests attract scorpions along with kissing bugs, ticks and fleas, which makes a mouse problem part of a scorpion problem.
From the walls to the yard
Liquid, granules, dust and sealing
We find scorpions with a blacklight, treat cracks with liquid, beds with silica granules and voids with desiccant dust, and seal the gaps they use.
Here is each layer of a scorpion treatment, in the order we work.
-
Blacklight inspection
Scorpions glow under a blacklight, so we walk the walls, beds and block fences with one to see where they live and how many there are.
-
Liquid in the cracks
A "crack-and-crevice treatment" puts liquid into the gaps along the house and walls where scorpions wait out the day, not across open surfaces they avoid.
-
Silica granules in the beds
Silica granules go into the gravel and landscape beds around the home, the ground scorpions cross on the way to the walls.
-
Desiccant dust in the voids
"Desiccant dust", the scorpion dust people ask about, is a drying powder we puff into weep holes and wall voids that liquid cannot reach.
-
Sealing the gaps
Exclusion closes the way in: sealant, dust and steel wool barriers at the openings scorpions use, which goes after the cause instead of the symptom.
-
Glue traps to monitor
Glue traps go down in quiet corners so we can see whether scorpions are still moving and where, and adjust the next treatment to what they show.
We show up when we say we will, and we clean up when the work is done.
What it costs
How scorpion control is priced
Scorpion control is often sold as part of a general pest control program, and it is priced by the home and the plan you choose. Here is what the work typically runs in Tucson.
-
One-time treatment
Initial scorpion service
Typically$150 to $350
A first visit for scorpion control in Tucson, priced on its own and done once.
- Blacklight inspection, then the layered treatment
- Priced differently from a recurring program
- Right for a problem you want cleared once
-
Best fit for scorpions
Monthly scorpion program
Typically$35 to $65 a month
Recurring visits keep the layers fresh and the traps checked, because one visit rarely holds scorpions for good.
- Often part of a general pest control program
- Keeps cutting the insects and mice scorpions feed on
- Glue traps checked so the treatment follows the activity

What neighbors say
Reviews from Tucson customers
Great customer service. Arrived on time, answered questions I had.
Sean was helpful and explained in detail the type of termites we’re dealing with and how to best treat them. He explained where we had/didn’t have damage, what to look for in the future and why they were missed by the previous home owners. Highly recommend Sean and this company!
RKC Pest Management LLC is excellent. Have had them for many years and no pests. Sean is very thorough and conscientious. Would definitely recommend this company without hesitation.
When one gets inside
Living with scorpions in the house
Scorpions that get indoors hide in dark, tight spaces, so you should check shoes, bedding and corners before you reach in, which lowers the chance of a sting.
These are the places worth a habit of checking:
- Shoes and boots left on the floor, shaken out before they go on
- Bedding, and the gap between the bed and the wall
- Closet floors, corners and anything stored in a pile
- Towels and clothes left on the bathroom floor
How do you spot a bark scorpion?
A bark scorpion is small and light tan, it climbs walls and ceilings where other scorpions stay low, and it glows under a blacklight at night.
Arizona Bark Scorpion in TucsonWill sealing alone keep scorpions out?
Sealing gaps can lower how many scorpions get in, but it works best alongside treatment of the cracks and beds outside. Exclusion closes the doors, and the layered treatment cuts the number of scorpions trying them.
Questions we hear
Scorpion control questions
Can pest control get rid of scorpions?
Yes, when the treatment is layered and paired with sealing: liquid in the cracks, silica granules in the beds, desiccant dust in the voids and glue traps to monitor. One perimeter spray on its own does not stop them, because scorpions walk high on walls and avoid treated surfaces.
What is the best pesticide to get rid of scorpions?
No single product does it. Scorpion treatment combines liquid, silica granules and desiccant dust, each placed where it reaches scorpions, so the answer is the combination and where it goes.
How much does an exterminator cost for scorpions?
Scorpion control in Tucson typically runs $150 to $350 for an initial service, and monthly scorpion programs typically run $35 to $65 a month. A one-time treatment and recurring service are priced differently, as our guide to what pest control costs in Tucson explains, and your exact price comes from a free estimate.
How to get rid of scorpions in the house?
Seal the gaps they come through, cut back the insects, spiders and mice they feed on, and treat the cracks and beds outside where they hide. Indoors, check shoes, bedding and corners, and if you use a store product, follow its label as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency consumer guidance on pesticide safety advises.
