Ever stroll into the garage late at night, flip on the light, and spot something small and pale scuttling across the floor? There’s a good chance it was a scorpion. In East Texas, these creatures aren’t as rare as you might hope. They love warm spots and dark corners, which basically describes half of our houses once the sun goes down. I once had a cousin who found one hanging out inside his shoe—definitely not the start to the morning he was expecting.
Unlike some pests, scorpions won’t swarm your kitchen or raid your pantry. They’re solitary and prefer places where they can lurk in peace. But a surprise sting can really ruin your day (or your dog’s day, for that matter). Most types around here aren’t seriously dangerous to adults, but the discomfort is no joke, and children or pets could have a tougher time if they get stung.
At Select Pest Control Services, we approach scorpion problems by doing more than just spraying a random solution around. We want to see why they showed up in the first place. Maybe there’s a nice, damp crawl space under the house, or cluttered boxes in the garage where they can hide out. After we check the likely spots, we choose treatments that are tough on scorpions but still safe for your family and pets. We also offer tips on sealing cracks around your doors and windows, because these little creepers only need the tiniest gap to sneak inside.
If you’ve noticed scorpions popping up in your yard or, worse, scuttling across your living room floor, give us a call. Our family-run team has been keeping homes across East Texas scorpion-free for years. We know the sting of seeing one of these critters up close and personal, and we’re here to make sure you can rest easy—without watching every shadow for unexpected eight-legged visitors.
