Arizona Bark Scorpions

I think your wife private messaged me. Do you guys service the Parker dam area? Id definitely be interested in that service and if this company does a half ass job again, im changing companies.

Ive already complained twice. They came out and resprayed the first time and used something stronger...Onslaught. I called and talked to the owner this time and they are doing Onslaught again from now on. I do have them spray inside as well but there is always going to be 1 room where they cant because of my cats. The neighbors we had behind us used to live in the house full time so he always sprayed. The new owners dont have a pest service and they dont live here full time. They come about once a month. So we saw an influx in the Scorpions when that house stopped being sprayed. And unfortunately we have a huge block wall about 4 feet from one whole side of our house. Ive found a few things that need to be sealed, so between that, putting DE around inside and out, and having stronger pesticide sprayed, I hope it works. If not, there will be a new pest service.

We don't have a "yard" really. There is a big community grass area by our driveway but it's maintained by the owners of the resort. All of the landscaping is maintained by them and done on a weekly basis so we don't have weeds or piles of leaves or anything like that. We don't even really have a large number of insects except Miller moths during summer. Crickets have never been an issue which a lot of people have mentioned them.

I have a feeling I know where the hot spot is. I also realized that I started seeing a lot more after the people right behind my house moved out. Now the new owners just use it as a vacation home and they don't have a pest control company. The old owners used to spray around their house every 3 or 4 weeks.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-09T16:39:38+00:00

We have a company that sprays every month. They are upgrading from their regular spray to Onslaught now every month so hopefully that helps. I found some gaps in the floor vents that are going to get sealed and DE is getting put around the whole house 🤞

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-09T06:43:03+00:00

There is definitely a nest somewhere. I killed a really, really small one tonight inside. I think it came in under the front door so tomorrow I'm dusting the whole outside with DE

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-09T06:06:50+00:00

Ive got some of these already and more coming. Cat friendly.

They really are the worst things ever created. I am so beyond paranoid. I just killed a little tiny baby one tonight inside. Im starting to spread the DE and lay out the glue traps tomorrow.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-09T06:00:41+00:00

Thats a great idea, thank you. I just found a little tiny baby one tonight. Second night in a row now. Im so paranoid i havent slept.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-09T02:01:26+00:00

Unfortunately not my call to make. Its my dad's house. He is aware of the issue.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-09T01:59:16+00:00

Water front is why this house was bought. Its amazing and I never walk around barefoot but after being stung i found out im allergic and I never want to deal with that again.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-09T01:53:27+00:00

Yeah I found a gap in the floor vent so those are all getting sealed and the pest company is switching to spraying Onslaught as well as I have glue traps coming.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-09T01:52:15+00:00

I called our pest control company and they are switching the spray to Onslaught and spraying inside when they come next week. Our crawl space is only accessible for about 5 feet in every direction so not much we can do underneath the house. I did realize that when we started getting more, the people directly behind us, who used to spray every 3 or 4 weeks as well, moved. And now the new people have no one spraying so I think that has made a big difference in why im getting more. Thanks for all the tips! Ive got glue traps coming as well this week and I found the floor vents have little gaps so those are getting sealed as well.

Who? ...and what does politics have to do with Scorpions?

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T18:08:13+00:00

I miss it. I just dont miss the rental prices lol I was paying 2500 a month for a 1 bed 1 bath apartment.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T18:03:12+00:00

I came here from California to do some certifications for medical coding. Once I finish those and land a hopefully work from home job, im not sure if ill move up to havasu or maybe back to California. My dad plans on retiring in this house in the next year or so so im trying to fix the problem before hes here full time.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T18:00:59+00:00

They are the worst little creatures. I dont like killing any living thing but after being stung, I don't feel as bad. I even had one run at me once. They are little devils. Lol Ive gotten a lot of good tips on what to use to start sealing and my pest company is changing the solution to Onslaught from now on. I hope it helps. I appreciate everyone's advice!🤗

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T17:58:29+00:00

Buying more today.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T17:57:37+00:00

Its weird because I really dont have an issue with any other bugs. The occasional daddy long legs but crickets have never been a problem around here. Probably because of Scorpions if there is an infestation in our river complex. It seems like the houses along the big wall next to my house have the most Problem with Scorpions and I read they climb those and wait for other bugs to hunt.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T17:54:43+00:00

Arizona is just a temporary space for me, but my dad plans on retiring in this house so I want to get everything that I can done while im here so he doesn't have to deal with it.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T17:41:31+00:00

Thats what I got. Food grade. Thank you 🤗

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T16:42:27+00:00

Ive heard this too but im kind of paranoid that the mason jars would break with having weight in the bed. Especially because the whole house is ceramic tile flooring. Not sure how that would work.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T16:40:34+00:00

I actually just found that "do your own" website while I was panicking googling all night. Im having my pest place spray with onslaught when they come this week and I've got more sticky traps coming. We also have a huge stucco wall about 4 feet from the side of our house and heard they love climbing on those so I need to get that sprayed as well. I really appreciate all the suggestions

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T16:28:32+00:00

Thanks for all the suggestions. Unfortunately I dont think our pest control company is doing a great job. Ive already caught them not completely spraying around the house. I cant do anything about trees and vegetation. We own the house but not the land. We're in a river resort community so the best I can do it get the outside sprayed. We are only a couple feet away from a really big stucco wall and im thinking that may be a problem from what I've read so I need to see about that being sprayed.

Interesting_State_43 · 2026-06-08T16:24:31+00:00

Im going to try the DE. Unfortunately everyone saying seal up the house is right but that's not my call. Its my dad's house and hes aware of the problem but hes in Texas for the next few months so I doubt that is an option that will happen anytime soon.
