Scorpion Control in San Antonio, TX

ABC takes a full-property approach to treating for scorpions. Scorpions can be difficult to control with pesticides alone, as these creatures typically hide in piles of rocks or logs outdoors or behind clutter in homes and attics. Our typical treatment plan starts with your ABC technician recommending minor changes you can make to your property to make it difficult for scorpions to hide or to make your surroundings less attractive to these creatures. Then, your pest professional will apply treatments in corners of your home and in other areas where these creatures commonly hide, such as in your attic. We will also usually apply a repellent around the exterior of your home and treat any potential entry points around doors, windows, eaves and any other small 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.

Throughout Texas, the most common species of scorpion is the striped bark scorpion. As many of us know, if this creature feels it is in danger, it will attempt to protect itself by using its best defense: its stinger. Although most people will only have a moderate reaction to a striped bark scorpion sting, the impact can vary greatly, depending on both the scorpion and the person.

Some scorpions produce a higher concentration of neurotoxins in comparison to other scorpions, which can result in a more painful, swollen sting site. Additionally, some people are more allergic to these neurotoxins than others, so they may have a more significant reaction to these stings. Even if you have a moderate reaction to a striped bark scorpion sting, it’s still an unpleasant experience.

Homeowners across Texas have been relying on ABC for pest control services since 1949.
