Southern Utah's most experienced scorpion exterminators. We've been keeping St. George families safe from scorpions for over 25 years.
Call Now: (435) 673-8300St. George sits at the edge of the Mojave Desert — prime scorpion territory. The bark scorpion, Utah's most dangerous scorpion species, is common throughout Washington County. Unlike other pests that are merely nuisance creatures, scorpions pose a real threat to your family's safety.
Scorpions in Southern Utah aren't just lurking in the desert. They climb into garages, sneak under patio doors, and sometimes end up in beds, bathrooms, and kitchens. They hunt at night and hide during the day — often in places homeowners rarely check.
The bark scorpion is the most concerning. Smaller than many scorpion species, it's nearly translucent and can squeeze through gaps as thin as a credit card. Its venom is potent enough to cause severe pain, muscle spasms, and in rare cases, serious medical complications — especially for children, elderly family members, or anyone with allergies.
Our scorpion control program goes beyond surface treatments. We target scorpions where they hide, breed, and travel — year after year.
We identify scorpion species, locate harborage areas, and find entry points. Our technicians check garages, sheds, weep holes, door thresholds, and exterior wall gaps.
We apply scorpion-specific insecticides along baseboards, into cracks, under sinks, and around the home's perimeter. We treat scorpions directly and create a residual barrier.
We identify and seal gaps that let scorpions inside — pipe penetrations, utility entries, door sweeps, window seals, and weep hole vents. Exclusion is key to long-term control.
Quarterly treatments keep scorpions away year-round. If scorpions return between visits, we come back at no charge. That's the Western Guarantee.
A scorpion sting isn't just painful — it can send children and pets to the emergency room. Don't wait for an encounter. Call Western Pest Control today.

Key steps: seal gaps around doors and windows, install door sweeps, cover weep holes with mesh, keep firewood away from the home's foundation, and reduce outdoor lighting that attracts scorpion prey.
