Where To Start?
Start Where The Science Leads
Most people start in the wrong place because they assume scorpions move randomly. They don’t.
They follow airflow, pressure, structure, shade, and shelter the same way they would follow a
tree in nature.
Arizona Bark Scorpions are arboreal, meaning they naturally climb and travel vertically. In the
desert, trees give them elevation, protection, and cooler microclimates. In a neighborhood, a
house becomes a man-made tree — taller, cooler, irrigated, shaded, and full of hidden structural
pathways leading toward the interior.
So their movement is predictable:
yard → foundation → structure → interior pathways → living spaces.
A home contains hundreds of micro-air-leaks and pressure pulls that create scorpion travel corridors, especially from cool-to-warm, dark-to-light, and low-to-high areas. This is why spraying or sealing in the wrong place can reroute scorpions into bedrooms, closets, or ceilings.
Effective control begins where the science says the pathways form:
inside → out, correcting airflow and pressure first, then stabilizing the exterior.
Once internal pathways are closed and the home performs properly, exterior strategies finally become predictable and consistent — and scorpions lose their natural routes into the living space.
