Scorpion Pest Control

Serving the Southeastern United States

Scorpion Exterminator

All scorpions have a venomous stinger. Some are even deadly. Fortunately, the scorpions that you find here in the Southeastern United States and the surrounding area are generally only mildly venomous.

Even if the scorpions of the southeast United States are relatively innocuous, they are frightening for many. If you want to reliably be rid of them, make Lookout Pest Control your first call when it comes to scorpion extermination in the Southeastern United States. We’re experienced with residential and commercial scorpion control and can solve your problem quickly and without hassle.

Are Scorpions Dangerous?

Yes. If you see a scorpion, you should automatically assume that it’s dangerous and avoid getting too close. All scorpions are venomous – to varying degrees.

In order to know how dangerous an individual scorpion is, you’ll need to know which species it is. Scorpions can range anywhere from one to seven inches in length. Their bodies have two parts – the head and the abdomen – with four sets of two legs. Their most distinctive feature is their stinger, which typically curls around the abdomen. All scorpions have stingers. They use them to inject venom into prey – or to defend when they feel threatened. Scorpions are usually nocturnal. Small ones eat insects and larger ones eat small animals such as mice.

In the southeast United States, these are the species of scorpion you’ll want to look for:

Striped bark scorpion

The most common species of scorpion in the United States, striped bark scorpions can reach almost 3” in length. They’re a light pale yellow color with darker stripes and look very similar to their close relative, the very dangerous Arizona bark scorpion.

Southern unstriped scorpion

Southern unstriped scorpions are about 2” long on average and darker in color ranging from red or brown to black. Southern unstriped scorpions like to hide under rocks but will wander inside occasionally.

Vinegaroon
(not actually a scorpion)

Vinegaroons look exactly like scorpions from the front, but they lack a stinger and instead have a tail. They are part of the arachnid family, but sort of like a cross between spiders and scorpions. They get their name because, when threatened, they shoot an acidic vinegar-like substance to discourage predators.

Pseudoscorpion
(not actually a scorpion)

Pseudoscorpions have two front claws that make them look like scorpions, but their back is rounded without a stinging tail. They’re tiny, about the size of a flea, and harmless to humans.

Scorpion stings hurt like bee stings. If dealing with a scorpion sting, monitor it closely because allergic reactions and medical complications are possible. This is especially important if a child has been stung.

He is always very professional, courteous, on time, communicates well to setup appointments, and treats our home and us with the utmost respect. The service is excellent, we never have any real issues thanks to the quality of the service but when I do occasionally mention seeing some ants or carpenter bees on the porch he’s always extra thorough. Extremely satisfied, we wouldn’t use anyone else.
