Scorpion Control in Austin, TX

When it comes to scorpion control, ABC takes a full property approach. Scorpions are typically difficult to control with pesticides alone, as these creatures often hide in piles of rocks or logs outdoors or behind clutter in a home. Our first step is to recommend small changes on your property to make it more difficult for these pests to hide.

Then, we will apply treatments in the corners of your home and in other common spots where scorpions are typically found, such as in your attic. Next, we apply a repellent to the exterior of your home and then treat potential entry points around doors, windows, eaves and any other cracks.

Our thorough treatment plan involves treating out of the way areas on your property, so your ABC pest control specialist may need a few hours to fully and safely complete your service.

The most common species of scorpion throughout Texas is the striped bark scorpion. When one of these creatures feels it is in danger, it will sting in an attempt to protect itself. While most people only have moderate reactions to a striped bark scorpion sting, the impact of a sting can vary greatly. Some scorpions produce higher concentrations of neurotoxins, resulting in a more painful, swollen welt. Additionally, some people are more allergic to these neurotoxins than others and may have a more serious reaction to these stings. Even if you only have a moderate reaction to a scorpion sting, it’s still not a pleasant experience.
