A steady program keeps sightings rare, protects your guests, tenants and employees, and helps your reviews stay focused on what you do best.
As a family owned company based in Phoenix, City Wide has served Arizona businesses since 1986. We hold contracts at the State, County and City level and with several school districts, so the same accountability goes to your business.

Why a Scorpion Program Is Worth It

Centruroides sculpturatus, the Arizona bark scorpion, is the one scorpion in the country whose venom is a genuine medical concern. A sting usually brings sharp pain and numbness. For children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems, it can sometimes call for emergency care.
Employers want to avoid workers’ compensation claims and possible OSHA questions after a sting. Property managers want residents who renew their leases without scorpion complaints. Hotels and resorts want guest reviews that talk about the stay, not a surprise visitor. Prevention handles all three.
Desert conditions and block wall construction give scorpions plenty of places to settle around commercial buildings. Bark scorpions can climb walls, slip through gaps about as thin as a credit card, and gather where moisture and prey insects are easy to find. Left alone, populations tend to build from season to season, and managing them takes more skill than routine general pest service.

Speak to a real person, not a robo machine.

Scorpion Pressure on Buckeye Business Properties

Buckeye covers 393.2 square miles, which makes it Arizona’s second-largest city by area, and its city limits include the southern part of the White Tank Mountains. That much open desert next to new construction means many commercial properties along I-10, SR 85 and Sun Valley Parkway sit close to natural scorpion habitat. Irrigation plays a part too: the Buckeye Canal, established in 1885, delivers nearly 130,000 acre-feet of irrigation water a year to over 17,000 acres, and watered ground holds the moisture and prey insects scorpions follow.
Business space keeps growing, from the Main Street district in Verrado to retail and commercial space in Floreo, the first village of Teravalis. Buckeye Municipal Airport, publicly owned by the city and open to the public, has a single 5,500 by 75 ft asphalt runway. Every site has its own lighting, landscaping and block walls, so we build each scorpion plan around the property itself.

How Our Scorpion Service Works

Step 1
Property Assessment
A licensed technician walks your whole site, including the grounds, block walls, landscaping, utility areas and interior rooms, to find where scorpions shelter and how they get inside on your property.
Step 2
Targeted Treatment Program
Treatment starts outdoors with a barrier along the foundation, block walls and doorways. Indoors, we treat cracks and crevices in restrooms and utility rooms, and we use dust in wall voids and around electrical openings where scorpions travel.
Step 3
Prey Insect Reduction
Scorpions go where the food is. Cutting back crickets, roaches and other prey insects around your site takes pressure off, so our program looks at the whole picture, not the scorpions alone.
Step 4
Exclusion Recommendations
We look for gaps under doors, around pipes and at utility entries along the building envelope, then give you clear recommendations for sealing the spots scorpions use.
Step 5
Ongoing Monitoring
Follow-up visits track activity over time, adjust treatment with the seasons, and catch new entry points early.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a canal or irrigated land nearby affect scorpion activity in Buckeye?
Irrigated land can matter, because scorpions follow moisture and the prey insects that gather around it. The Buckeye Canal, established in 1885, delivers nearly 130,000 acre-feet of irrigation water a year to over 17,000 acres. If your property sits near watered ground, we check irrigation leaks, drainage and landscaping during the assessment and plan treatments around what we find.
Small openings matter more than most owners expect. UA Extension notes a quarter-inch gap lets young mice into a structure and a half-inch gap admits young rats, and it recommends checking door sweeps, seals and thresholds. Those same weak spots are worth sealing against scorpions, and we point them out during every property assessment.
Fogging is aimed at mosquitoes, so it is not a scorpion plan. Maricopa County scheduled mosquito fogging between midnight and 5 am on August 20, 2026, within an area from Yuma Rd to Lower Buckeye Rd and from Tuthill Rd to Jackrabbit Trail. Scorpions need a property-specific program, and we also offer Commercial Mosquito Control when mosquitoes are the concern.
Arizona bark scorpions are slender and pale tan to straw-colored, about 2 to 3 inches long, with thin pincers and a long tail. Their color blends in with block walls and stucco, so they are easy to miss. If you are not sure what you found, a technician can identify it during a visit.
Yes. Bark scorpions climb rough surfaces such as stucco, block and brick, and they can reach ceilings and upper floors. Smooth glass and polished surfaces are harder for them. That is why we inspect walls, rooflines and utility entries, not just the ground, and why sealing gaps matters.
Tan or straw-colored scorpions in Arizona are often bark scorpions. Technically they are venomous, not poisonous, because the harm comes from a sting. A sting can be serious for children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems, so seek medical advice if someone is stung, then call us.
