Scorpions are one of the most feared pests in the Las Vegas area! Even the name, Scorpion, sounds like a name from hell.
There are three different types of Scorpions in the Las Vegas area:
- Devil Scorpion (sometimes called the California Devil or Southern Devil)
- Desert Hairy Scorpion and
- Bark Scorpion
Who would guess, from this line-up, that the relatively innocent-sounding Bark Scorpion (aka Arizona Bark Scorpion – pictured) would be the major cause of grief for people in the Las Vegas area?
The Bark Scorpion is a tough creature. When it senses a pest spray, it can sometimes slow down its metabolism big-time. This behavior allows the scorpion to just barely survive while the pest spray dissipates whereupon the scorpion can resume life where it left off. Even when scorpions do encounter enough spray to kill them it can still take up to 2 weeks.
Because of this unusual behavior bark scorpions are very hard to eradicate from a property completely. If you have hired exterminators to handle scorpion problems before, and the problem got better initially and then became worse again, now you know why.

Tip: One of the most effective ways to quickly limit an active scorpion population is to use a black-light flashlight around the exterior of your home at night to locate scorpions (they glow green under black-light) and spray them directly with specific over-the-counter aerosols that will kill them.
This in combination with a monthly service on the exterior will control them and make scorpions much less of an issue.
