Why Homeowners Trust Our Team With Scorpion Problems

When something as unnerving as a scorpion shows up indoors, most people don’t want to gamble on an unfamiliar provider. They want a team with proven experience and local credibility.

Explorer Pest Management Inc has been serving Sacramento and surrounding counties since 1997, helping homeowners protect their properties from a wide range of pest concerns. Over the years, we’ve treated more than 1,300 properties across Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, and Yolo Counties.

We’re a family-owned pest control company, not a franchise. Our owners are actively involved in the business, and our technicians bring decades of combined, hands-on experience. That depth of knowledge helps us recommend treatments that make sense for your situation rather than pushing unnecessary services.

All of our technicians are licensed and certified, and Explorer Pest Management Inc is licensed by the California Structural Pest Control Board. We’re fully bonded and insured and maintain Better Business Bureau accreditation to reflect our long-term commitment to honest, professional service.

How Scorpion Control Works Around Sacramento Homes

Knowing what to expect from scorpion service can make the process feel far more manageable. Our approach is designed around local conditions and homeowner safety.

Inspection & Property Assessment

We begin with a detailed inspection of your property. Our technicians look at exterior foundations, entry points, and areas where scorpions shelter, such as stacked materials, dense groundcover, and cracks around doors and windows. Inside the home, we may check garages, utility areas, bathrooms, and storage spaces where scorpions are commonly found.

The goal is to identify how scorpions are getting inside and where they’re spending time, not just where one was seen.

Targeted Treatment & Integrated Pest Management

Based on what we find, we develop a treatment plan that follows Integrated Pest Management principles. We combine targeted product applications with environmental adjustments whenever possible. Treatments may include perimeter protection, sealing recommendations, and addressing conditions that attract scorpions and their prey.

This approach fits naturally within our broader home pest control services, helping reduce overall pest pressure instead of treating scorpions in isolation.

Safety, Follow-Up & Ongoing Protection

Safety is always part of the conversation. We explain where products will be used, how long treated areas need to dry, and how to protect children and pets during and after service.

For some homes, a single focused visit with follow-up guidance is enough. For others, especially properties near open land or with ongoing pest pressure, recurring service may offer better long-term protection.

Scorpions In This Area: Risks, Habits & Where They Hide

Scorpions are well suited to the warm, dry conditions common throughout the Sacramento region. They seek shelter during the day and become active at night, often moving indoors in search of moisture, food, or relief from extreme temperatures.

Around homes, scorpions commonly hide in wall voids, wood piles, cracks in foundations, and shaded areas close to structures. Properties near open spaces, riparian corridors such as the American River area, or older neighborhoods with aging foundations may see increased activity.

Most scorpion stings in this region are painful but not life-threatening for healthy adults. However, children, pets, and individuals with allergies may face higher risks. Learning more about scorpion behavior and related pests through resources like our pest library can help homeowners understand why activity occurs and how to reduce it.

Prevention Tips To Make Your Property Less Inviting To Scorpions

Effective scorpion management isn’t just about treatment—it’s also about reducing conditions that allow them to thrive.

Outdoor Maintenance & Yard Changes

Reducing clutter and limiting hiding spots can make a big difference. Firewood, building materials, and storage boxes should be kept off the ground and away from exterior walls. Trimming vegetation that touches the home and keeping groundcover thin near the foundation can reduce shelter areas.

Sealing Entry Points & Home Improvements

Small gaps around doors, windows, and service lines are common entry points. Sealing cracks and repairing worn weather stripping can help limit access. During service, we point out priority areas so you know where improvements will have the most impact.

Managing Other Pests & Moisture

Scorpions feed on insects, so reducing insect activity can indirectly lower scorpion presence. Addressing moisture issues, standing water, and other pest problems early can help. In some situations, scorpion activity overlaps with other burrowing or nuisance pests, which is why integrated plans may include services like rodent control services when appropriate.

Service Options Without Long-Term Contracts

Every property is different, and we offer flexible options to match your comfort level and needs.

One-Time Scorpion Treatment

Many homeowners start with a one-time service. We perform an inspection, carry out targeted treatments, and review prevention steps with you. One-time treatments include a 30-day warranty, and if covered pests return within that window, we come back to address them.

Bimonthly & Quarterly Pest Management

For properties with recurring pressure or near open spaces, bimonthly or quarterly service can provide added peace of mind. These plans include scheduled visits and are guaranteed—if covered pests appear between visits, we return at no additional cost.

All options are contract-free. You choose services when you need them and can adjust or pause service as your situation changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are scorpions around my home dangerous for my family and pets?

Most scorpion stings in this area are painful but not usually life-threatening for healthy adults. Children, pets, and individuals with allergies may face higher risks. We focus on reducing exposure and addressing hiding places during service.

What should I do if I see a scorpion inside my house?

If you feel safe doing so, you can capture the scorpion using a container. Avoid handling it directly. When you call Explorer Pest Management Inc, we’ll schedule an inspection to identify how it got inside and prevent future sightings.

How do you treat my home for scorpions safely?

We focus on combining careful inspection, habitat changes, and targeted product use so that treatment is both effective and considerate of your household. Our technicians use California approved, eco-friendly products and apply them in specific locations where scorpions are likely to travel or hide. Before we start, we explain where treatments will be placed and how you can keep children and pets away from those areas until they are dry. We may also recommend sealing gaps or adjusting storage and landscaping to reduce hiding spots. Because we follow Integrated Pest Management principles, our goal is to use the minimum amount of product needed to address the problem.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract for scorpion control?

No. We do not require long-term contracts. You can choose one-time service, recurring visits, or seasonal support depending on what works best for your home.

How often should I schedule service to keep scorpions away?

The right schedule depends on your location, surrounding environment, and pest activity. Homes near open spaces often benefit from recurring service, while others may only need occasional treatment.

How soon can your team come out to look at my property?

We work to respond promptly when someone contacts us about scorpions or other pests. Availability can vary based on the time of year and existing appointments, but our goal is always to get you on the schedule as soon as we reasonably can. When you call, you speak with our local staff, not a call center, so we can discuss your situation right away. Together, we will find an appointment time that fits your needs and level of urgency. If something changes with your schedule, we also do our best to accommodate adjustments.

Can scorpion control help with other pest problems too?

Yes. Many steps taken to manage scorpions—such as sealing entry points and reducing insect activity—also help with other pests. During your estimate, we’ll discuss whether a broader pest management plan makes sense.
