Scorpion Control in Albuquerque (Bark Scorpions)
Bark scorpions are one of the most common and unsettling pest calls in the Albuquerque area, and they are tough to control with a quick spray. They squeeze through gaps thinner than a credit card, climb walls, and hide in block, woodpiles, and stem walls during the day. We focus on sealing entry points and treating the harborage where they actually live, which is what makes the difference in the desert.
Why scorpions thrive around Albuquerque
The dry, rocky terrain across Albuquerque, Placitas, and the foothills is ideal bark scorpion habitat. They hunt at night, follow insects and moisture toward your home, and shelter in cracks, block walls, and under landscape rock during the heat of the day. Because they tolerate the conditions that kill off softer pests, controlling them takes a plan aimed at their hiding spots, not just open surfaces.
How we treat for scorpions
We start by finding entry points and harborage, then treat cracks, voids, the foundation perimeter, and likely interior pathways. Reducing the insects scorpions feed on is part of the work, since a food source keeps drawing them back. We also point out the gaps, weep screens, door sweeps, and clutter near the foundation worth sealing or clearing, because exclusion is half the battle with this pest.
Safety and what to expect
Bark scorpion stings can be serious, especially for small children and anyone with a sensitivity, so it is worth treating activity rather than waiting. If you are seeing them indoors, keep beds away from walls and shake out shoes and bedding while we get a plan in place. We are licensed and insured, and we will confirm your visit by text or call.
