Scorpions Are Everywhere in Phoenix, Maybe even at your house
Get To Know Scorpions
DID YOU KNOW THAT SCORPIONS ARE NOT INSECTS? .... Scorpions are annoying little pests. But... They are not insects. You may be saying to yourself right now, "What?" but no they are not insects. Scorpions are actually considered to be Arachnids. Arachnids are eight legged creatures like Spiders, Ticks and Scorpions.
...and Not all scorpions are poisonous! Some Scorpions contain a lethal sting, most scorpians only have stings that are as potent as a honey bee sting. But stings can be deadly. If you happen to have an allergic reaction to a sting it can very well be fatal. Don't be fooled by even the smallest Scorpion. And while not all are deadly, the Arizona Bark Scorpion is the most poisonous in the United States. And despite not running a high risk of death, the stripped bark scorpion sting is painful. So we still advise finding a scorpion control solution that is right for you.
+ Scorpions have four pairs of legs. They also have pincers that look like little lobster claws.
+ Scorpions come in many sizes and colors, but most of the ones you'll see in Arizona are usually pale gold or tan in color.
Although some scorpions in other parts of the world can be six inches long or longer, most of the adult scorpions in metro Phoenix are probably less than 3 inches long. They have a venom bulb (the telson) at the end of a long tail and a stinger at the end. There are about 90 species of scorpions in the United States and an estimated 1,500 species worldwide. There are more than 40 species in Arizona.
+ Scorpions hide under rocks or debris. They live in crawl spaces.
+ They are active and feed at night. The scorpions that are native to Arizona typically eat spiders, insects and each other, if they are hungry enough.
+ They hide during the day. Check your shoes and clothes before putting them on if you live in an area where there are likely to be scorpions.
+ If you live in an area where there is a lot of construction, you may be more likely to find scorpions inside because their outdoor habitat has been disturbed.
+ They can live for months on just water. Because they are looking for water, you may find them in or under sinks or tubs.
+ Scorpions can live to be over 6 years old.
+ Scorpions sting. But you knew that, or you wouldn't be reading this! A scorpion sting may result in some pain, itching, swelling, or tenderness of the area. If you are stung by a scorpion, here's what you do .
If you are stung by any scorpion, including the venomous Arizona Bark Scorpion, here are some immediate actions you should take:
+ Wash the area of the scorpion sting with soap and water.
+ Apply a cool compress on the area of the scorpion sting. Ice (wrapped in a washcloth or other suitable covering) may be applied to the sting location for 10 minutes. Remove compress for 10 minutes and repeat as necessary.
+ If stung on a limb (arm or leg) elevate the limb to heart level.
+ Call the Banner Poison Control Center Hotline at 1-800-222-1222. If you develop symptoms such as numbness or tingling of extremities or face, blurry vision, or muscle twitching, roving eye movements, go to the nearest emergency room. Young children and older people who are stung by a scorpion should be taken to the emergency room immediately.
+ Keep your tetanus shots and boosters current.
+ The great majority of scorpion stings occur on the hands and feet. Watch where you step with bare feet, and watch where you reach with your hands.
In the western U.S. only one species of scorpion venom is considered very dangerous to humans. Yup, we have it right here in Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Gilbert, Mesa and most valley cities that surround Phoenix Arizona. It is called the Arizona Bark Scorpion. It is straw colored or opaque and usually less than 2 inches long. The Arizona Bark Scorpion is most dangerous if the person stung has an allergic reaction. There are other bark scorpions, and other types of scorpions that are even more common in Phoenix homes than the Arizona bark scorpion. Most people assume they are seeing the most dangerous scorpion when they see any scorpion. I suppose it's safest to make that assumption, since most people don't want to get close enough to distinguish the various species from one another!
Bad news: every year many people in the world die from scorpion stings. Good news: hardly anyone ever dies in Arizona, because antivenin is available for severe cases. According to the University of Arizona "in the past 20 years there have been no reported fatalities in the U.S. due to scorpion stings." Certain people may be allergic to scorpion venom just like some people are allergic to bee stings (or strawberries or peanuts...) although according to the same source no cases of that type of allergic reaction has been reported in Arizona.
Here are some common sense tips that will help control scorpions and how you can help avoid scorpions.
+ Close or caulk door openings, screen openings and window cracks so scorpions can't get into the house.
+ Dust and vacuum in corners and normally undisturbed places where scorpions hide.
+ Eliminate the scorpion's prey (crickets, spiders, and other insects) by using common pesticides.
+ Common pesticides don't work well on scorpions. Contact a professional pest control company if considering applying chemicals.
+ Eliminate outdoor places where scorpions can hide, such as trash piles, rock piles, decaying wood or piles of junk.
+ Don't walk around the house at night in bare feet.
+ A professional pest control company like Invader Pest Management can do a "blacklight" inspection to determine if there is a scorpion infestation, since scorpions glow.
