Scorpions

In the vast state of Texas, one can find an abundance of wildlife, including the notorious scorpion. Among all the scorpions that inhabit the region, the most common one is the striped bark scorpion. It is a species of medium size that typically measures between two to three inches in length. The striped bark scorpion is easily identifiable by its pale-colored body, which is adorned with two distinct dark stripes that run along its back. Additionally, it has a triangular marking on its head, which is also dark in color.

The striped bark scorpion is an arachnid that mainly feeds on insects. Its diet consists of a variety of small bugs, such as crickets, beetles, and ants. Interestingly, these scorpions prefer to live indoors and can often be found in homes, garages, and other man-made structures. The reason for this is that they are attracted to the warmth and shelter that these locations provide.

Fortunately, there are ways to manage and control the striped bark scorpion population. Our treatment plan for scorpions is tailored to the specific structure and landscape of the building where they are located. We take a holistic approach to scorpion control, using a variety of products, such as sprays, dusts, and traps, to eradicate the infestation. In addition, we also identify any structural or landscape issues that may need to be addressed to prevent future infestations from occurring.

It is important to note that the striped bark scorpion’s sting is venomous, but their stings are generally mild and rarely life-threatening, except for individuals who are allergic. Therefore, it is essential to exercise caution and avoid contact with these scorpions whenever possible. With proper management and control measures, however, it is possible to keep the striped bark scorpion population in check and minimize the risk of stings.
