The arid climate throughout the Western U.S. provides ideal living conditions for scorpions, particularly during the hotter seasons. When temperatures begin to cool in autumn, these pests often seek shelter indoors where it’s warmer and more humid. While not all scorpions are dangerous, certain species can deliver venomous stings that pose health threats to both people and pets. At Critter Bro, we specialize in professional scorpion control services across Western Nevada. Our experienced technicians are trained to eliminate infestations thoroughly and apply protective measures to prevent future invasions. Don’t risk an unexpected encounter. Contact us now for a no-cost scorpion inspection.
Scorpions are part of the arachnid family, sharing biological traits with ticks and spiders, such as having eight legs and segmented bodies. Several species are common in Western Nevada and have adapted to thrive in both desert and semi-arid environments. While they prefer to hide under rocks, inside wood piles, or deep in crevices during daylight, scorpions become active at night, seeking prey. Despite generally avoiding human contact, scorpions can enter houses through gaps and cracks, particularly when outdoor conditions become cooler or drier. Their nocturnal habits and stealthy behavior make them difficult to detect without a professional inspection.
There are a few species of scorpions commonly found in Western Nevada, each with unique characteristics. The Striped Bark Scorpion is among the most frequently encountered, identified by the distinct lines running along its back. It can deliver a painful but usually non-lethal sting. Another notable species is the Giant Hairy Scorpion, the largest in the U.S. which, despite its intimidating size, typically causes only mild discomfort. The Arizona Bark Scorpion is less common but poses more serious health risks due to its potent venom, which can trigger intense reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly small children or those with preexisting conditions.

Not every scorpion species poses a significant threat. Most stings feel like bee stings and cause mild irritation. However, the Arizona Bark Scorpion is more dangerous due to its venom, which may cause intense pain or severe symptoms in vulnerable individuals. If you encounter scorpions on your property, it’s best to avoid contact and consult with professionals who can confirm the species and safely remove them.
