It’s a scorpion—a creature homeowners hope to never see in their living spaces. For residents and businesses in Southern Utah, the presence of scorpions necessitates proactive pest control.

Scorpion stings aren’t just uncomfortable; they’re excruciating. Victims often describe the experience as a sharp, stabbing pain that can last for hours. The severity of the injury depends on the species of scorpion and the sensitivity of the person.
Allergic reactions, although rarer, can pose serious health risks. People who are allergic to venom can experience difficulty breathing, swelling and numbness, or even anaphylactic shock. This underscores the importance of professional pest control services in high-risk areas.
Scorpions are adept hunters and will seek refuge in any crevice or dark corner. If you’ve sighted one, chances are there are more nearby. This is why a single scorpion sighting can often indicate a burgeoning infestation.
Southern Utah plays host to a range of scorpion species, each with its own characteristics and habits.
The most common type encountered in the area, the Arizona bark scorpion, is small, light brown, and notoriously venomous. A sting from this species can be particularly painful and may require medical intervention.
In contrast to the bark scorpion, the Giant Desert Hairy Scorpion is much larger and, somewhat counterintuitively, its sting is relatively harmless to humans. Their menacing appearance, however, can still strike fear into the heart of any homeowner.
This scorpion is the dark knight of southwestern deserts—larger than the bark scorpion and with a predominantly black exoskeleton. While stings from this scorpion can be painful, they are not considered life-threatening.
The Northern Scorpion rounds up the quartet, with a light brown or sandy coloration. Like the Black Hairy Scorpion, its sting is painful but rarely dangerous, which makes it more of a nuisance than a medical concern.
