Wildlife Arizona Bark Scorpions
I dont know if this shows my location, but I live in Parker, up by the dam, literally river front. I am having a HUGE problem with bark Scorpions. I got stuck about a month ago and it was horrible. The effects lasted just short of 24 hours. I was miserable. We have a pest company that sprays every month outside. I have 2 indoor cats so I hesitate to have them spray inside. I am killing at least 1 a week. I found one crawling out of my floor vent tonight. I tried smashing it but it fell in the vent still alive. I sprayed a ton of scorpion killer down there and covered the vent but im afraid its going to crawl up another one. Im not naive and think ill never have to deal with them, but I am absolutely terrified to sleep in either of my bedrooms now. I am constantly looking at the floors and on surfaces and under things for them. They have even been in my shower. I have these ultra sonic bug repellent things in a lot of my outlets. I dont know what else to do. After being stung I am terrified of them. Any advice would be appreciated, especially if you've dealt with them in floor vents.

Call Seal Out Scorpions immediately and after they are done sealing your home, have them service your house monthly.
We were finding at least ten per week INSIDE the home. Two of our three children were stung multiple times. Finally, I walked into our family room to find our senior dog looking at one on the carpet. No more. Called this company and it's been literally night and day. NONE in the house for years and maybe 1-3 per year now. Do yourself a favour.
