Why Scorpions Are a Serious Problem in St. George
If you live in St. George, Cedar City, Hurricane, Mesquite, or anywhere in Southern Utah, you already know: scorpions are everywhere. And they're not just a nuisance—they're dangerous.
Every year, we get hundreds of calls from terrified homeowners who've found scorpions in their homes. Sometimes in their beds. Sometimes in their children's toys. Sometimes crawling on the ceiling above where they sleep.
The worst part? Scorpions can live 2-6 years and reproduce quickly. One female scorpion can have 25-35 babies at a time. If you see one scorpion, there are likely dozens more you're not seeing.
🏜️ Why Southern Utah?
Our desert climate is perfect for scorpions. Hot days, cool nights, low humidity, and rocky terrain create ideal conditions. St. George, Hurricane, and surrounding areas have seen scorpion populations explode in recent years as development pushes into their natural habitat.
🌡️ They Don't Hibernate
Many people think scorpions disappear in winter. They don't. They seek warmth—which means they head indoors. We get emergency calls throughout winter from scorpions hiding in homes during cold snaps.

What Our Customers Say About Our Scorpion Control
"Bug Blasters was responsive and a good value! I was renting a house that had a really bad Scorpion problem and I have 2 youngsters under age of 3. They fit me into their busy schedule the same day that I called and took care of the problem. They gave me reminders a week in advance and the 4 different guys that came were all professional and nice. Thankful for Bug Blasters for keeping my kids safe and helping us sleep better at night."
Example Testimonial - Replace with real customer review:
"We moved to St. George from out of state and had no idea scorpions would be such a problem. Within the first month, we found three in our house—one in our daughter's room. Bug Blasters came out the same day, explained everything thoroughly, and started treatment immediately. We've been on their monthly plan for six months now and haven't seen a single scorpion since month two."
Example Testimonial - Replace with real customer review:
"I tried the stuff from the hardware store first. Wasted $200 on sprays and traps that didn't work. Finally called Bug Blasters and wished I had done it sooner. Their professional treatment actually works. We went from seeing scorpions weekly to maybe one or two a year, and when we do, they come back for free."
Example Testimonial - Replace with real customer review:
"The blacklight inspection was eye-opening. We thought we had a small problem, but the technician showed us over 20 scorpions hiding around our property. Scary, but I'm glad we knew what we were dealing with. Three months of treatment later and the blacklight shows nothing."
Frequently Asked Questions About Scorpion Control
Our scorpion control services start with an initial treatment, typically ranging from $125-$200 depending on property size. Monthly maintenance plans range from $50-$85 per visit. We recommend monthly or bi-monthly treatments for best results. No contracts required, and we offer free callbacks between scheduled services.
Most customers see a dramatic reduction in scorpion activity within 24-48 hours of the initial treatment. However, scorpions can live 2-6 years, so ongoing prevention is key. With monthly treatments, most homes become virtually scorpion-free within 2-3 months. Same-day service is available for urgent situations.
The bark scorpion, common in Southern Utah, is the most venomous scorpion in North America. While rarely fatal to healthy adults, stings are painful and can be dangerous for young children, elderly individuals, or those with compromised immune systems. Symptoms include severe pain, numbness, difficulty breathing, and muscle twitching. Immediate medical attention is recommended for vulnerable populations.
Scorpions are attracted to moisture, shelter, and prey (other insects). Common attractants include: landscaping rocks and debris near foundations, wood piles, overgrown vegetation, standing water, outdoor lighting that attracts insects, cracks in foundations and walls, and cluttered garages or storage areas. Desert climate makes St. George particularly hospitable to scorpions.
Yes! While scorpion activity decreases in winter, they don't hibernate. They seek warm areas like your home during cold snaps. We get many emergency calls in winter from scorpions hiding indoors. Year-round treatment prevents them from establishing nests in wall voids and ensures your home stays protected through seasonal temperature changes.
Absolutely. We use professional-grade products labeled for residential use with "Caution" warnings rather than "Danger" warnings. Our micro-encapsulated products are safe once dry (typically 30 minutes). We recommend keeping children and pets away during application and drying. Our technicians are licensed and trained in safe application methods.
Our comprehensive scorpion treatment includes: thorough exterior perimeter barrier treatment, crack and crevice treatment around entry points, foundation treatment up to 3 feet high, treatment of landscaping areas where scorpions hide, eave and soffit treatments, interior baseboard treatment if needed, and UV light inspection available upon request. We use products that last up to 90 days through rain and sprinklers.
Yes! Scorpions glow bright green-blue under UV/blacklight, making them easy to spot at night. We recommend checking your property after dark with a blacklight flashlight, especially around foundations, rock walls, and entry points. This helps identify problem areas. Our technicians can provide blacklight inspections and will show you where scorpions are entering your home.
Yes! Our scorpion treatment program targets all arachnids including black widows, which are also common in Southern Utah. The same barrier treatment and crack-and-crevice applications that eliminate scorpions also control spiders. Many customers choose our service for comprehensive spider and scorpion control.
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. For monthly or bi-monthly customers, we provide free callbacks between scheduled services if you see scorpions. For quarterly customers, we offer a 30-day callback guarantee. If we can't solve your scorpion problem, we'll refund your money. We've been doing this since 2003 and stand behind our work.
Why DIY Scorpion Control Doesn't Work
We understand the temptation to save money with store-bought products. Here's why that's usually a mistake with scorpions:
🧪 Weak Products
Consumer products are heavily diluted because you're not licensed to handle professional-strength chemicals. What you buy at the hardware store is 10-20x weaker than what we use. It might kill a scorpion on contact, but it won't create the barrier protection you need.
❌ Wrong Application
Even with the right product, most homeowners don't know where to apply it. Scorpions hide in places you'd never think to treat. We know their hiding spots because we've treated thousands of properties over 20+ years.
💰 Actually More Expensive
Many customers tell us they spent $150-$300 on store products before calling us. That's more than our professional initial treatment would have cost. Plus, you wasted weeks or months living with scorpions.
⚠️ Safety Concerns
Store products can be dangerous when misapplied. People often over-apply, thinking more is better, creating unsafe conditions for kids and pets. Our licensed technicians know exactly how much to apply and where.
The average customer who tries DIY first wishes they'd called us sooner. Save yourself the frustration, expense, and risk. Call (435) 229-7701 and let professionals handle it.
