Free Scorpion Proofing Checklist

Work through this checklist to close the gaps bark scorpions use and make your home a harder target. Print it and go room by room.

Seal the entry points

Install door sweeps on every exterior door including the garage. Seal weep screeds with mesh, caulk expansion joints, and close gaps around plumbing and cable penetrations. Bark scorpions fit through a gap as thin as a credit card, so detail matters.

Fix the yard

Move woodpiles, bricks, and decorative rock away from the foundation. Trim plants back off the walls, and reduce clutter where scorpions and their prey hide. Address crickets, they're the food supply that draws scorpions in.

Inside the home

Check block-wall garages and lower levels first. Shake out shoes and check bedding. A black-light inspection at night reveals where they're actually active, bark scorpions glow under UV.

Why this checklist works

Each step targets a specific way pests get in or thrive, a gap, a moisture source, a food supply, or a harborage. Working through them in order removes the conditions pests depend on, which is far more durable than reacting after they are already inside.

Where DIY reaches its limit

Homeowners can close the obvious gaps and cut down clutter, but the highest-risk entry points are often on the roofline, behind stucco, or in spots that need the right products and equipment. That is the point where a professional treatment saves time and gets a lasting result.

How we build on your effort

The work you do makes professional service more effective, not redundant. We handle the technical sealing and the exterior barrier, then maintain it on a recurring schedule, with the free re-service guarantee covering anything that slips through between visits.

Why Valley homeowners choose Property Pest Control

We are a local, licensed and insured team that treats Phoenix-area homes and businesses every day. That means honest, written quotes from $49/month, a consistent technician who knows your property, targeted and family-conscious treatments, and a free re-service guarantee that keeps the results on us, not a national call center reading from a script.

What Valley homeowners get told about Free Scorpion Proofing Checklist

Myth

One good spray takes care of it for good.

Fact

A single treatment knocks down what's active today, but the Phoenix Valley's season-long pressure rebuilds the population within weeks. Lasting control comes from a maintained barrier, which is why every recurring plan re-services for free between visits.

Myth

If I don't see them, they're already gone.

Fact

Most free scorpion proofing checklist activity happens in wall voids, attics, and harborage you never see. Quiet rarely means clear, it usually means they have simply moved out of sight and kept breeding.

Myth

Store-bought sprays work just as well.

Fact

Retail products kill on contact but do not reach the harborage or break the breeding cycle, and they wear off fast in Arizona heat. The knock-down looks like a fix for a week, then the problem returns.

Myth

Professional treatment isn't safe around kids and pets.

Fact

We place targeted, low-impact product at entry points and harborage rather than broadcasting it where your family spends time, with clear re-entry windows your technician walks you through on every visit.

The Property Pest Control difference

None

Contract

Free re-service guarantee

See activity between scheduled visits? We come back and re-treat at no additional charge. It is included on every recurring plan, so the results are on us, not on you to call around for a second opinion. A callback is a quick scheduling call, never a negotiation over fees, and it is exactly how a local company should stand behind its work.

Licensed & insured

Treatments follow Arizona Department of Agriculture standards and product labels, applied by licensed, insured technicians who document every visit. You get a clear record of exactly what was treated and where, on every single stop.

Family- & pet-conscious

We use targeted, low-impact methods placed at entry points and harborage rather than broadcasting product where your kids and pets spend time, with clear re-entry windows. Effective protection and a household you do not have to worry about are not a trade-off. Your technician will always walk you through what was applied and how long to wait, so there is never any guesswork.

Transparent pricing

Recurring plans start at $49/month with a firm quote before any work begins, no surprise fees, no high-pressure contracts, and no door-to-door upsells. You always know what you are paying and what it covers before we start, and because plans are month-to-month, you stay because the service works rather than because a contract says you have to.

Very happy with the service. Also, we have a tortoise in our backyard and always get a call checking to make sure he is safe before spraying.

Can I do all of this myself?

You can handle much of it, and it helps. The highest-risk sealing and the exterior barrier are where a licensed technician and the right products make the biggest difference.

How often should I repeat these steps?

Walk through the checklist seasonally, and especially before summer scorpion pressure and the fall rodent move indoors. Recurring service keeps the barrier maintained in between.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes. Every recurring plan includes our free re-service guarantee, if covered pests come back between scheduled visits, we return and re-treat at no additional charge. Plans start at $49/month with no long-term contract.
