Scorpion Control for Glendale Businesses

Scorpions in a workplace are a hassle nobody wants to explain to staff, tenants or guests. Apartment communities, hotels and other hospitality properties all want quiet, comfortable spaces, and a tidy plan keeps them that way. The Arizona bark scorpion is the species we plan around, since it adapts so well to commercial buildings. Our commercial scorpion removal in Glendale focuses on keeping it outside where it belongs.
Family owned since 1986, City Wide is a locally owned and operated company based in Phoenix, run by owners Mike and Steven. Government agencies trust us: we serve buildings run by the State, the County and the City, plus several school districts. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division (license #2317).

  • Why It Matters

Why Professional Scorpion Service Matters

Centruroides sculpturatus, the Arizona bark scorpion, is the only U.S. scorpion with venom considered medically significant. A sting hurts, and children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems can need medical care, so keeping scorpions out of shared spaces is sensible.
Employers want staff to feel safe on the job, and a sting at work can mean paperwork and time away. Property managers know that repeat scorpion complaints wear on tenant relationships in apartment communities. Hospitality teams care about every guest’s first impression of a room.
Block wall construction, desert landscaping and outdoor lighting give bark scorpions plenty of places to hide and plenty of insects to eat. They can climb rough surfaces and slip through gaps only about as thick as a credit card. Regular professional service keeps their numbers manageable from season to season, and bark scorpion work on commercial buildings calls for more targeted methods than general pest routines.

Scorpion Control Across Glendale's Commercial Properties

Commercial properties in Glendale come in many types. The city’s economic development office reports over 100 manufacturers and an estimated 12,400 healthcare workers citywide, and Midwestern University’s Glendale campus at 19555 N 59th Ave. covers 143 acres. State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, sits at 1 Cardinals Drive off the Loop 101 freeway, so hospitality and event properties are part of the mix too. Every type of site gets its own inspection and plan.
About 24,844 of the city’s 98,383 housing units, roughly 25 percent, are in buildings with 5 or more units, so apartment managers often need one plan that covers many doors and shared grounds. Glendale Water Services offers residential and non-residential rebates for landscape conversion to xeriscape or artificial grass, irrigation technology and pool or spa removal, and we ask clients to tell us about changes like these so we can adjust. Our technicians then match the plan to how the property looks today.

  • Our Method

How We Handle Scorpion Control

Step 1
Property Assessment
Licensed technicians walk the whole property: the perimeter, block walls, landscaping, doors, utility areas and indoor spaces. We map where scorpions hide and how they get in.
Step 2
Targeted Treatment Program
Outside, we treat the building’s base, block walls and doorways. Inside, we treat cracks and crevices in utility areas and restrooms. Dust goes into wall voids and around electrical openings, the routes scorpions often travel.
Step 3
Prey Insect Reduction
Scorpions go where the food is. Cutting back crickets, roaches and other insects they hunt takes pressure off your building, so our program looks at the whole picture.
Step 4
Exclusion Recommendations
We look for gaps under doors, at pipe openings and along the building shell, then give you clear recommendations for sealing them.
Step 5
Ongoing Monitoring
Recurring visits let us watch scorpion activity, adjust our approach with the seasons and catch new entry points early.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle scorpions at apartment communities in Glendale?
Yes. About 24,844 of Glendale’s 98,383 housing units, roughly 25 percent, are in buildings with 5 or more units, so multi-unit properties are a big part of the local picture. We can inspect common areas, exteriors and entry points, then set up an ongoing plan. Commercial accounts sign a service agreement, and same-day service is available.
We serve offices, apartment communities, hospitality properties and other commercial sites. Glendale’s economic development office counts over 100 manufacturers and an estimated 12,400 healthcare workers citywide, and Midwestern University’s campus at 19555 N 59th Ave. covers 143 acres. Each site gets its own inspection and plan rather than a one-size routine.
Landscape changes can shift where scorpions hide, since rock, ground cover and debris near a building offer cover. Glendale Water Services offers residential and non-residential rebates for landscape conversion to xeriscape or artificial grass, irrigation technology and pool or spa removal. If you plan a project like that, tell your technician so we can adjust the plan.
The Arizona bark scorpion is the only scorpion species in the United States with venom considered medically significant. It usually measures 2 to 3 inches long and has a pale, straw-colored body. It climbs walls and rough surfaces, which is why our inspections cover block walls, ceilings and utility areas.
Look for a straw-colored scorpion about 2 to 3 inches long. Bark scorpions do climb walls, ceilings and other textured surfaces, so you may spot one well above floor level. A striped-tail scorpion is similar in size but has a banded tail and tends to stay near the ground. If you are unsure, call us and we will help identify it.
A pale tan scorpion in Arizona may be a bark scorpion, the one local species with medically significant venom, so avoid handling it. Stings are painful, and anyone stung, especially a child, older adult or person with a weakened immune system, should contact a medical provider. Our technicians can confirm what you found and treat the area.
