Are Poisonous Pests Taking Over Your Lawn?

Arizona scorpions are some of the world's most efficient insect-killing machines. Sporting eight powerful legs and a venomous stinger, the tough armored shell of the scorpion is almost impossible to penetrate — and nearly invulnerable to over-the-counter pesticides. These creatures have a tendency to breed in surprisingly high numbers, with up to 100 live births per female per year.

Scorpion populations in Phoenix can be incredibly challenging to control, even for the most experienced technicians. However, at Eco Valley Pest Control, we take a thorough and scientific approach to the elimination of these armored arachnids to ensure your property is safe and sound. We use a three-step process to get their populations under control and implement high-quality products from AVERZION.

How Eco Valley Pest Control Manages Scorpion Control

Throughout the history of our planet, humans have looked for ways to keep scorpions away from their homes. Thankfully, Eco Valley Pest Control has made this easy to do. We enact a three-step plan around residential and commercial properties to get rid of scorpions and their current populations while mitigating future incursions.

Here's what you can expect:

1. Step One: Like all living species, scorpions must have water to survive. While they're not a fan of excessive moisture like other pests, they do need to find patches of water to survive. A small drop of dew on a blade of grass can provide more than enough for a scorpion to thrive. Leveraging this behavior to our advantage, a pest control professional from Eco Valley Pest Control sprinkles a water-activated or water-soluble granular treatment throughout your yard. The next time an invading scorpion takes a drink, it will unknowingly ingest a microscopic granular product. Spreading this type of granular treatment is imperative in the early stages of scorpion control, which is why it's Eco Valley Pest Control's first and most important step in scorpion elimination. 
2. Step Two: Our team springs into action to remove scorpion breeding areas from around your home. Your assigned pest control professional addresses high-volume harborage areas with a liquid product designed for near-instant scorpion relief. We target locations like water boxes, fence line columns, and other areas that recreate dark, warm conditions. Regular applications can drive scorpions away from their desired resting areas and remove harborage zones in any capacity. As scorpions are nocturnal creatures that return to the same area week after week, it is imperative to target key areas that recreate their natural resting habitat. Our liquid repellent and residual microencapsulation products are the perfect fit for the job.
3. Step Three: It's not enough to simply remove scorpion predators from your property. Instead, you must focus on the big picture, including the food sources attracting them in the first place. Targeting scorpion food populations is vital to the success of any scorpion extermination. Therefore, our trained experts will sprinkle baited granular mixes designed to remove ornamental pests such as crickets, silverfish, earwigs, and other tasty prey options. We have found this to be the best way to drive away predatory scorpions and ensure their populations never again reach a fever pitch in your yard.

Do you struggle with high volumes of scorpions in Phoenix? Our experts have another treatment method that can help. In areas of extreme scorpion pest pressure, we partner with AVERZION, a third-party company with ample experience keeping Arizona scorpions outdoors. Their innovative and game-changing pest management treatment option can keep scorpions out of even the most vulnerable homes. To do this, one of our technicians will visit your property to 'paint' a product around the foundations of your house. The liquid becomes hard and glass-like when dry, making it impossible for scorpions and other insects to climb up into your home.

A scorpion-free lawn doesn't have to be a pipe dream. With a little help from Eco Valley Pest Control, relief can be a phone call away. Please ask one of our service professionals about pricing options for individual pest control plans in Phoenix.
