Scorpion Control in Cedar Park

Understanding the Scorpion Threat in Cedar Park

In Central Texas, the most common scorpion homeowners encounter is the Striped Bark Scorpion. While its sting is rarely life-threatening for a healthy adult, it is intensely painful and can cause more severe reactions in children, the elderly, or pets. Understanding their behavior is key to controlling them.

These pests are nocturnal hunters that are incredibly resilient and good at hiding.

• Their Food Source: Scorpions feed on other insects like crickets, roaches, and spiders. An abundance of these pests around your home makes it a prime hunting ground for scorpions.
• Common Hiding Spots: Outdoors, they hide under rocks, logs, and in landscaping. Indoors, they seek out dark, undisturbed areas like closets, attics, wall voids, and crawl spaces.
• How They Get In: They can flatten their bodies to squeeze through tiny cracks and crevices, often entering through gaps under doors, around pipes, or in the foundation.

Seeing even one scorpion often indicates that a larger population is living on your property.

Our Multi-Layered Scorpion Control System

At A-Tex Pest Management, we know that a simple spray is not enough to handle a scorpion problem. We use a comprehensive, multi-layered system designed to attack the infestation from all angles, providing your Cedar Park home with the highest level of protection.

Here is our guaranteed approach to a scorpion-free home:

• Detailed Property Inspection: Our technician will identify scorpion hiding spots, locate potential entry points into your home, and assess the populations of other pests that serve as their food source.
• Reducing Their Food Supply: A key part of our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy is to reduce the number of insects scorpions prey on, making your property less attractive to them.
• Targeted and Effective Treatments: We use specialized products proven to be effective against scorpions, applying them to harborage sites and along their travel paths.
• Professional Exclusion Advice: We can help identify the cracks and gaps scorpions use to enter your home and provide recommendations for sealing these vulnerabilities for long-term prevention.

Why Professional Scorpion Control is Essential

Scorpions are among the most difficult pests for a homeowner to control. Their unique biology and hardy nature make them resistant to many over-the-counter insecticides, leading to wasted money and continued exposure to the risk of a painful sting in your home.

The greatest reason to call a professional is safety. Attempting to handle a scorpion without training can easily result in a sting. A professional technician has the experience and protective equipment to manage these pests safely, protecting you and your family from unnecessary harm.

Furthermore, a professional approach addresses the entire problem. We don't just target the one scorpion you saw in the bathroom. We focus on the entire ecosystem of the infestation—their food source, their outdoor shelters, and their entry points—to provide a comprehensive solution that truly lasts.
