Scorpion inspection in the Austin area starts with the reported sighting, accessible shelter, and possible entry routes. Rock features, stored wood, garage thresholds, utility gaps, and insect prey may guide the walkthrough, but a wooded or rocky setting does not establish the cause of activity inside your home. Tell the team which rooms or structures are involved and whether access is limited. Manageable harborage reduction, appropriate exclusion, and targeted treatment may complement one another; necessary drainage must remain open. Confirm any proposed timing and work in the written scope rather than assuming every visit includes an attic or nighttime inspection. Continued sightings provide evidence for reviewing the next step. - Nighttime sightings along foundation edges, garages, patios, or bathrooms - Activity beneath rocks, boards, firewood, landscape materials, or utility boxes - Gaps at doors, weep areas, plumbing, rooflines, or attached stonework [Read the sourced field guide](https://buggedpest.com/pest-library/scorpions) ![A striped bark scorpion on hand-cut limestone at a modern pool pavilion](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/luxury/scorpions-01-limestone-pool-pavilion-768.webp) Striped bark scorpionPool-pavilion limestone ![A striped bark scorpion sheltering beneath a lifted travertine paver](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/luxury/scorpions-02-under-travertine-paver-320.webp) Scorpion harborageUnder a travertine paver ![A striped bark scorpion fluorescing during an ultraviolet inspection at a garage threshold](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/standard/scorpions-03-uv-garage-inspection-320.webp) UV scorpion inspectionGarage threshold A closer look ## Checking an accessible foundation entry point A flashlight inspection illustrates checking an accessible exterior gap.

The actual pest evidence, access limits, and written scope determine the work at your home. Inspection first ## What does a scorpion inspection cover? Every visit starts with the property, not the product. This is what the technician checks before recommending anything. - Checked 01 Exterior shelter, landscape materials, access gaps, moisture, and prey insects - Checked 02 Garages, bathrooms, closets, utility routes, and reported nighttime paths Inspection to treatment ## How does Bugged get rid of scorpions? Treatment selection follows the inspection, the written scope, and the applicable product label. Step 01 ### Inspect the evidence Inspect after dark when practical and map repeated paths and shelter Step 02 ### Treat to the finding Reduce harborage and seal practical entries without blocking required drainage Step 03 ### Document and follow through Use targeted label-approved control where evidence and access support it Scope before promises. Outdoor scorpions are part of the regional environment. Service aims to reduce occupied-area encounters and entry; it cannot eliminate every scorpion from rocky or wooded land. ### Before Bugged arrives - Wear gloves when moving rocks, lumber, boxes, or firewood - Shake out shoes and clothing stored in garages or on the floor - Move stacked material away from the structure What it costs ## How much does scorpion control cost in Austin? Scorpion service is available on every recurring HiveGuard plan, with the rate confirmed after the home is reviewed. Where the answer is exclusion — stone veneer joints, weep areas, garage thresholds, attic penetrations — that work is scoped and quoted at the inspection, because a limestone lot ringed with loose rock is a different job from a slab home with a tight envelope. Moving firewood and landscape rock back from the wall is the part you can do yourself, and we will say so rather than bill for it. The initial-service fee is confirmed in your written quote. Payment authorization is collected at signup; the initial-service fee and first monthly payment are charged after initial service completion, plus applicable tax.

If yours is not here, [call (737) 247-7143](tel:+17372477143) or [text us](sms:+17372477143) and ask a human. ### Is scorpion control only a perimeter spray? No. The inspection considers harborage, entry gaps, and insect prey alongside any label-directed treatment. Moving manageable shelter and addressing suitable gaps can be part of the recommendation. ### Why might scorpion sightings continue after service? Outdoor shelter, access gaps, and changing conditions can still contribute to sightings. Record the location without handling the scorpion and contact the team so it can review the evidence and agreed follow-up. ### Do scorpions glow under ultraviolet light? Most scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light, which can help with nighttime inspection. Use a flashlight as well and wear closed shoes and gloves. ### Why am I finding them in the bathroom? Bathrooms offer moisture and plumbing routes, but the entry may be elsewhere. Door gaps, wall voids, drains, and exterior shelter all need evaluation.
