Scorpion Control in the Central Texas Hill Country
Striped bark scorpions love Hill Country limestone.
If you live west of I-35, you know the striped bark scorpion. They thrive in the limestone, cedar and rock that define the Hill Country, and they slip into homes through the smallest gaps. Scorpions are one of the clearest signs you are dealing with Central Texas — and one of the reasons homeowners call us.
Why scorpions get inside here
Scorpions follow moisture and prey. During a Hill Country drought they move toward homes for water; after rain they move to escape it. Limestone foundations, weep holes, and gaps under thresholds give them an easy path indoors, often into bathrooms and closets.
Our scorpion approach
Treating the inside alone never solves a scorpion problem. We treat the perimeter and harborage — rock walls, wood piles, landscaping — reduce the insects scorpions feed on, and seal the entry points that let them in. It is the same exclusion-first method that keeps them out for the long term.
Water-based products, applied where they're needed. Our licensed technicians apply
water-based products only where the problem is, and tell you when a treated area is dry and ready — see
our approach for families & pets.

Scorpion Control — FAQ
Because scorpions live outside — in rock, cedar and wood piles — and wander in. Lasting control treats the perimeter and seals entry points, not just the interior.
They're most active in the warm months and move toward homes during drought (for water) and after heavy rain (to escape it). Year-round exclusion keeps them out.
The striped bark scorpion's sting is painful but rarely medically serious for most people — still not something you want indoors, which is why we focus on keeping them out.
