Our service methods were created by Arizona State University researchers Ben Holland and Jon Davis. They are based on the research of University of Arizona professors findings that pesticides are an ineffective prevention method for scorpions. We combat your problem by population control, removing habitats and prevention education.
Scorpion Sweeper Specialist(s) will control scorpions using high powered Ultra Violet (Black) flood lights. Sweeping at night allows us to detect active scorpions everywhere on your property then collect them by hand. Population control is the key to success. By collecting active scorpions there are fewer to reproduce limiting population growth, with repeated sweeps population can be controlled.
After each service a detailed report is emailed to you. This report describes where the scorpions were found and recommendations for pest prevention. Outlining the sources of the scorpion infestation, there are two types environmental and preventable.

Our service is solely for scorpions. Whether you have just one or a complete infestation we can help. Scorpions have annual broods of up to 30 babies, it is important to remove mother scorpions before they have a chance to breed.
Collected scorpions are used for research. We are currently conducting a physiological study on urban vs desert specimens. Our goal is to find out as much as possible about these pests so we can find the best way to prevent them. Our research will be geared toward understanding scorpion behavior, scorpion prevention and scorpion venom.
