Get Scorpions Under Control with Mosquito Squad Plus

For residents throughout El Paso, scorpions aren’t just something we see in desert survival shows. Here, they’re pests that deserve attention.

When most people think about pest control, perhaps the first things that come to mind are mosquitoes, ants, spiders – or even rodents. But here in the El Paso area, scorpions are a concern. They show up around our patios and entryways, in our garages and storage spaces. And yes, even inside our homes.

When scorpions start appearing, El Paso residents get to work to find out the best way to get them under control. That’s where Mosquito Squad Plus comes in.

Why Are Scorpions a Southwest Pest Problem

Those not living in desert regions probably don’t give scorpions much thought. But throughout El Paso, Sunland Park, Horizon City, Canutillo, Fort Bliss, and Las Cruces, the climate creates conditions where scorpions thrive. From dry hiding spots and rocky landscapes to backyards with plenty of insects on which to feed, our area is very inviting to scorpions.

Nocturnal scorpions hide during the day but certainly get busy at night – especially so during the hottest months of the year. Therein lies one of the biggest issues El Paso residents have with them. Not seeing scorpions during the day often provides a false sense of security and sets the scene for a startling evening encounter. They’re not exactly something we want to stumble upon while relaxing outside or taking out our pets before bed.

When Are Scorpions Most Active?

As temperatures rise this time of year, scorpions will be most active in the evening and overnight hours, seeking shelter during the heat of the day. You’ll find them lurking beneath wood piles and rocks, among landscaping materials, and even in cracks and crevices around your home’s exterior.

Why Is Professional Scorpion Control Recommended?

If daytime temperatures are 75°F or higher, scorpions might be hiding out, but they’re not gone. Not only are they not gone, but they’re also likely closer to your home than you imagine, setting you up for an unwanted nighttime run-in.

That’s why scorpion control isn’t about treating only what you see. At Mosquito Squad Plus of El Paso, it’s about knowing where they hide and what specific conditions are attracting them to your property. It’s about identifying potential habitats, breaking them up if possible, and treating them effectively – which is precisely what we do!
