The desert climate of St. George brings scenic weather all year long, but it also brings the kind of pests that thrive in those warm temperatures. Scorpions are never pleasant to think about, especially not in your home or workplace, so treating and preventing a scorpion invasion is vital to get right the first time.
When you notice scorpions in your home or around your yard, reach out to professionals for scorpion control services. With scorpions being dangerous animals, it’s important to remember that you should not try to handle them on your own. At Nature’s Gate Pest Control, we’ve been dealing with scorpions for a long time and are perfect for the job.
Several types of scorpions call St. George home. The four most common species of scorpion to look out for in the St. George area are the Arizona bark scorpion, the giant desert hairy scorpion, the black hairy scorpion, and the northern scorpion. Keep in mind that all of these scorpions have venomous stings. If you’re stung by one, you’ll need immediate medical attention, especially if you’re allergic to the venom.
The giant desert hairy scorpion is the largest species in North America and typically resides in low-elevation areas, such as valleys. This doesn’t mean they won’t make your yard their home. Even if you don’t see any around, keep in mind that they typically only come out at night to forage for food.
Of the four most common scorpions in the area, the Arizona bark scorpion is the most dangerous because it has venom that can cause severe pain, numbness, and sometimes temporary paralysis. These symptoms can last for up to 72 hours.
The black hairy scorpion is very similar to the giant desert hairy scorpion, except that it is typically smaller and has a completely black body. While this scorpion’s venom has low toxicity, it can still cause severe pain and should be addressed with medical attention.
While the northern scorpion is very common in the local area, they are typically rarely seen. They are nocturnal creatures and typically steer clear of humans, rarely known to sting. If they do sting, their venom causes mild reactions and symptoms.
The biggest thing to worry about during a scorpion infestation is how difficult it is to avoid contact with one after they’ve invaded. Every dark corner has the potential to be their hiding place. As much as you seal and secure your house, an open window or door is all they need to seek shelter in your home. Scorpions can be incredibly dangerous, especially if your household contains young children or elderly family members that will be more susceptible to the venom of even the weakest scorpions.
Like other arachnids, their presence may signify a dual infestation problem since scorpions reside where there is an abundance of other insects to eat. Cockroaches and crickets are some of their preferred food sources, and you might find termites if an influx of scorpions has been attracted to rotting wood in the area. Professional scorpion control services can help you stop your scorpion infestation as soon as possible.
