Scorpion Control for San Tan Valley Homeowners

San Tan Valley is one of the fastest-growing areas in Arizona, and many of its homes sit directly against open desert. For scorpions, that is about as good as it gets. Redline Pest Control is based next door in Queen Creek, and San Tan Valley is in our core service area.

If your home backs to desert

A back wall that faces raw desert is a front line. Scorpions do not need to travel through a neighborhood to reach you. They are already on the other side of the block. Homes like this see activity earlier in the year and more of it, and one treatment is rarely the end of the story.

If your home is new

New construction disturbs the ground scorpions were living in. For the first couple of years after a neighborhood is built, and for as long as building continues nearby, displaced scorpions look for new shelter. Many new San Tan Valley homeowners see their first scorpion within months of moving in. It does not mean the house was built badly. It means the desert was there first.

What we do

• Build a full exterior barrier around the home, with extra attention on the side that faces open ground.
• Treat harborage areas: block walls, landscape rock, irrigation boxes and garage edges.
• Treat the prey. Crickets come in from the desert too, and scorpions follow them.
• Come back on a schedule. For desert-edge homes, recurring service is what keeps the barrier in place.
