Residential Scorpion Control Built for Glendale Homes

Homeowners looking for scorpion control in Glendale are usually dealing with the Arizona bark scorpion. It is common around buildings in low desert areas, and it is small, pale and easy to miss until it turns up on a wall or in a bathroom. Bark scorpions slip through very small gaps and can climb rough surfaces, so a good plan covers the whole property. With kids and pets in the house, a steady, careful approach gives families peace of mind.
City Wide Pest Control has been family owned since 1986, and our technicians know the desert pest pressures that homes here face. If you want a scorpion exterminator in Glendale who keeps things simple, give us a call. Residential service comes with no contracts.

  • Why It Matters

Why Scorpion Control Helps

Bark scorpion stings are painful, and young children and older adults can react more strongly, so a call to a medical provider or Poison Help is wise after any sting. Most encounters happen close to home: University of Arizona Extension reports that 98 percent of scorpion exposures documented by Poison Help Hotlines from 2005 to 2015 occurred in or around homes.
Unlike most scorpions, the bark scorpion climbs. It scales stucco, crosses ceilings and can end up indoors. Hollow block walls are a favorite refuge: University of Arizona Extension found that 95 percent of bark scorpions in research preferred hollow block walls, so the gaps and wall caps around a Glendale yard deserve attention.

What Shapes Scorpion Activity in Glendale

Single-family detached homes make up 58,762 of Glendale’s 98,383 housing units, about 60 percent, and mobile homes add another 5,413 (ACS 2024 1-year). That adds up to a lot of individual yards, and University of Arizona Extension says homes with irrigated landscapes can support bark scorpion populations much higher than desert wild-land areas. For bark scorpion control in Glendale, the yard matters as much as the house.
The Hedgpeth Hills hold Thunderbird Conservation Park, a 1,185-acre natural preserve dedicated to protecting the desert environment. Whether your home sits near open desert or deep in a neighborhood, we check the spots University of Arizona Extension flags: crawl spaces under houses attract widow spiders, scorpions and rodents, so they get a look alongside your walls and landscaping.

  • Our Method

How We Handle Scorpions

Step 1
Inspection
A technician walks the property to find entry points, shelter spots and prey insects, checking weep holes, wall caps, cracked foundations and landscaping.
Step 2
Prey Insect Elimination
Scorpions hunt crickets, roaches and similar bugs, so thinning out that food supply is the best place to start.
Step 3
Targeted Harborage Treatment
Our scorpion treatment in Glendale targets wall caps, block gaps, weep holes, expansion joints, rock beds and hollow spaces in exterior walls.
Step 4
Entry Point Sealing Recommendations
We map out where scorpions are getting in and walk you through which gaps and cracks should be sealed.
Step 5
Monthly Barrier Maintenance
Monthly visits keep a protective barrier in place, backed by a 21-day warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide scorpion control in Glendale, AZ?
Yes. City Wide Pest Control is locally owned and operated, and we offer residential scorpion service to Glendale homeowners with no contracts. Same-day service is available, and our office is open Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5. Call (602) 944-0099 and we will find a time that works. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division.
Start with an inspection of walls, foundation, weep holes and landscaping, then treat those hiding spots and cut back the insects scorpions feed on. We also point out gaps that need sealing. Between visits, simple habits help, like clearing debris from the foundation and fitting door sweeps. Monthly service carries a 21-day warranty, and kid and pet friendly treatment options are available.
University of Arizona Extension notes that crawl spaces under houses attract widow spiders, scorpions and rodents. If your home has one, we include it in the inspection alongside block walls, weep holes and landscaping. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the visit around it.
Bark scorpions can. They climb rough surfaces such as stucco and block, and they cross ceilings, which is why one may show up high on a wall. Sealing gaps, trimming plants back from the house and treating exterior walls all help limit how far they get. Most other species stay closer to the ground.
An Arizona bark scorpion is pale tan, roughly 2 to 3 inches from head to tail tip, with narrow claws and a slim tail. It is active at night and hides in cracks by day, so you usually spot it after dark. It is the only Arizona species of medical concern, so if you are unsure what you found, call us.
