Do not handle a scorpion directly.
Keep children and pets away. If someone is stung and develops severe symptoms, seek appropriate medical help.
What to check safely
01Where did you see it?
Note whether activity is indoors, in the garage, around exterior doors, block walls or landscaping.
02Look for entry points
Check visible door-sweep gaps, garage edges, cracks and utility penetrations without dismantling anything.
03Notice moisture
Irrigation, leaks and damp areas can support insects that become food for other pests.
04Repeated sightings matter
Multiple indoor sightings or recurring nighttime activity are good reasons to consider a professional inspection.
BEFORE YOU HIRE
Ask these questions.
- Does the inspection include likely entry points?
- What pest is the treatment targeting?
- Is follow-up included?
- What precautions apply to children and pets?
