Scorpion Facts
Scorpions have eight legs and segmented bodies with claws. They come in many sizes, ranging from half an inch to roughly eight inches and come in over 1,200 species. Their preference is warm and dry climates, so the Las Vegas Valley is a hotspot for them.
Scorpions are capable of stinging and injecting venom, which can range in toxicity from harmless to extremely dangerous. It is important to be cautious around scorpions in the Las Vegas Valley and avoid handling them to prevent being bitten or stung. Scorpion stings can be dangerous and potentially lethal, with about 25 of the over 1,200 known species capable of killing humans. Even stings from less toxic species can cause unpleasant side effects such as blurred vision, vomiting, dizziness, and severe pain.
Signs Of An Scorpion Problem
If you encounter a scorpion on your property, your immediate step should be to contact us at Ridtechs Pest Solutions. Avoid the risk of a painful sting by letting our trusted professionals take care of the situation. Scorpions are adept at camouflaging themselves within their surroundings, often concealing themselves near rocks or under palm trees, which makes them difficult to spot. This increases the likelihood of an accidental sting if you happen to reach into their hiding spots.

Common Types of Scorpions
In any given area, you're likely to encounter different species of ants, such as Arizona Bark, Emperor Scorpions, Desert Hairy Scorpion. Each species has unique traits that affect how they interact with your property. To effectively tackle and manage these varied species, tailored approaches are essential.
Arizona Bark Scorpion
The Arizona Bark Scorpion, recognized as the most venomous in North America, sports a tan and yellowish hue and measures about two to three inches long. It features two main body segments: the abdomen and cephalothorax, with its tail typically curled to the side instead of over its body. Bark scorpions often venture indoors to escape the heat, taking advantage of their exceptional ability to climb vertically. Once inside, they tend to hide in dark, moist environments like basements or storage rooms. Due to their poor eyesight, bark scorpions are quick to defend themselves and may attack if provoked.
Desert Hairy Scorpion
Typically tan or olive, the desert hairy scorpion holds the title as the longest scorpion in the United States. They prefer shaded areas but are also commonly kept as pets. When well cared for, they can live up to twenty years. Due to their substantial size, they prey on other invertebrates, including lizards and small animals. The desert hairy scorpion's sting is relatively mild, comparable to a bee sting, and they are not particularly aggressive.
Emperor Scorpion
This scorpion is occasionally used a pet as it isn’t all too threatening to humans. Black in color and larger in shape, the emperor scorpion can be up to eight inches in length and typically live in large numbers. They’ll eat insects and have an affinity for termites, sometimes living in their mounds. These scorpions also have bad eyesight and will usually sting in defense, but luckily they won’t always inject venom into their prey.
