Scorpions are Dangerous and Everywhere

by Fred Willey on 2009/09/17

Maybe even at your house…

In July of 2009 there was a report of scorpions on Southwest Airlines, even a report of a scorpion at a McDonalds in Chandler.  We have even seen a new Anti-Venom reported on in May of 2009, and numerous stories about scorpions on every channel, in every newspaper, and even on the radio!scorpions dangerous everywhere

It’s in the news every other day, if it is not on one news channel it’s on another.  Sensationalism of a common pest in Arizona.  The Scorpions were here before we were and I’m sure they will be here long after we are gone.  The fact is with some common sense, knowing what to look for, and being a little proactive with scorpion pest control, you can help reduce the chances of having a scorpion horror story like we have been seeing played out in our local news media.

Get To Know Scorpions

DID YOU KNOW THAT SCORPIONS ARE NOT INSECTS? …. Scorpions are annoying little pests. But… They are not insects. You may be saying to yourself right now, “What?” but no they are not insects. Scorpions are actually considered to be Arachnids. Arachnids are eight legged creatures like Spiders, Ticks and Scorpions.

I found this great story on the internet by Judy Hedding at About.com and I would be hard pressed to spell it out any better than she did.

…and not all scorpions are poisonous! Some Scorpions contain a lethal sting, most scorpians only have stings that are as potent as a honey bee sting. But stings can be deadly. If you happen to have an allergic reaction to a sting it can very well be fatal. Don’t be fooled by even the smallest Scorpion. And while not all are deadly, the Arizona Bark Scorpion is the most poisonous in the United States. And despite not running a high risk of death, the stripped bark scorpion sting is painful. So we still advise finding a scorpion control solution that is right for you.  for more on this story

Invader Pest Management can do a “blacklight” inspection to determine if there is a scorpion infestation and  propose to reduce or remove the harborage areas around your property where scorpions can live and enter into your home.

Call 623-435-0228 to schedule your inspection.
