FAQ
Scorpions: common questions
Why do I see more scorpions after rain?
Rain floods their hiding spots and pushes them toward and into homes.
Where do scorpions hide in the house?
In dark, cool spots: closets, shoes, under sinks, in bathtubs and in clutter in garages.
Are scorpion stings dangerous?
Most cause sharp pain and swelling. Bark scorpions in the Southwest can cause stronger reactions, especially in children. Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for advice.
How do scorpions get inside?
Through gaps under doors, around windows, weep holes and utility lines.
Do you do the treatment yourselves?
No. EmergencyExterminators is a referral service. The pest control company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
