Scorpion Treatment FAQs

One reviewer wrote of Budget Brothers Termite & Pest Elimination, “This exterminator also takes on bed bugs, rats, bees, cockroaches, ants, and spiders. Plus, it offers two services unique to Phoenix locals: scorpion and…pigeon control.” Don’t laugh. Those pigeons can get territorial.

What’s unique about our scorpion elimination isn’t that we do it. It’s how we do it.

Budget Brothers brought Scorpion Repel, the only permanent scorpion elimination treatment to our friends and neighbors (like you) in 2020. We offer a 5-year guarantee because this revolutionary product hasn’t been around long enough to verify it prevents scorpions “forever.” But we think it will. And a one-time treatment that means you’ll never call us again for scorpion control is okay with us.

Here are some of the scorpion treatment FAQs (frequently asked questions) we receive about Arizona scorpions:

Scorpion Treatment FAQs

Q: Are more scorpions found in older homes?
A: Actually, more scorpions are found in newer homes. They are often brought in with construction materials. The new development, digging, etc. disrupts scorpion habitats and they’ll seek the nearest shelter. (That shelter is usually a new homes subdivision or development.)

Q: Are scorpions hard to get rid of?
A: They’re certainly hardy. Scorpions survived at nuclear test sites along with that other pest we love to hate: cockroaches.

Q: Can I DIY (do-it-yourself) eliminate scorpions on my property?
A: We live in Arizona. No one can completely eliminate scorpions on any property. But you don’t have to live with them in your house.

You can control your outdoor environment to reduce the likelihood of scorpion infestations:

• Clear off brush and yard debris.
• Consider turning off all-night outdoor lights and installing motion-activated lights. Scorpions feed on the insects attracted to night lights.
• Eliminate standing water.
• Keep woodpiles and firewood at least 30´from your home.
• Seal cracks/crevices, especially around your doors, foundation, and windows.

Q: I heard a scorpion seal is the only way to get rid of scorpions. Is that true?
A: Scorpion sealing was the best method we had for a long time, but it was never 100% effective. Scorpion Repel is 100% effective. It’s guaranteed for 5 years but we believe it will last a lifetime.

Q: My neighbor got stung by a scorpion and his arms and legs went numb for almost a week. Yesterday he was stung again and nothing happened. Can he be immune because of the first scorpion sting?
A: What probably happened was your neighbor’s first sting was by a bark scorpion. Bark scorpions’ stings are the most dangerous and can cause numbness like you described. His second sting was likely another type of scorpion. Some scorpion stings cause temporary pain and that’s it. There’s probably some way to develop an immunity to scorpion stings but it’s not been scientifically documented.

Q: Will Scorpion Repel eliminate the scorpions in my home?
A: It won’t eliminate the scorpions already at-residence inside your home. We’ll have to tackle that problem separately. Scorpion Repel is designed to prevent scorpions from entering your home. Forever.
