Signs of a Scorpion Infestation
Discovering a single scorpion indoors can be an unsettling experience, but it does not necessarily indicate a widespread infestation. Scorpions are solitary creatures by nature and may occasionally wander into buildings in search of food, water, or shelter. However, while one sighting might not be a cause for alarm, it is crucial to remain vigilant. Scorpions are nocturnal predators, and their presence inside could suggest the potential for additional activity. Taking the time to observe other signs can help confirm whether there is a larger problem that requires immediate professional attention.
Reach out to our Grand Junction scorpion control experts if you notice any of the following warning signs of an infestation:
- Frequent scorpion sightings. Spotting scorpions in various areas of your property is one of the most obvious indicators of an infestation. Pay attention to dark, undisturbed spaces such as basements, attics, closets, and under furniture. Scorpions often hide during daylight hours and become more active at night.
- Shed exoskeletons. Scorpions shed their exoskeletons as they grow, leaving behind translucent, shell-like remains. These sheds are often found in hidden areas where scorpions feel safe, such as cracks in walls, behind baseboards, or under piles of clutter. Finding shed exoskeletons could indicate active scorpions nearby.
- High populations of other pests. Scorpions feed on insects, spiders, and other small pests. If your property already has a significant population of these creatures, you may inadvertently create an ideal hunting ground for scorpions. Monitoring for an increase in insects or pest activity may help identify your risk for a scorpion infestation.
- Nocturnal sounds. While scorpions are generally quiet, the sound of their movement may be noticeable in areas with minimal ambient noise. Scratching or rustling noises behind walls, in crawl spaces, or beneath flooring during the night can sometimes hint at hidden activity.
- Presence of scorpion droppings. Scorpion droppings are often overlooked but can serve as another clue. These droppings consist of small, dark splatters or smudges and are often left along walls or baseboards. Their appearance in concentrated areas may point to a scorpion's hiding spot.

How We Typically Eliminate Scorpions
Eliminating scorpion infestations requires a combination of inspection, treatment, and prevention strategies tailored to the cause and severity of the problem. Our Grand Junction scorpion control technicians start by conducting a thorough inspection of the property to identify areas where scorpions are likely to hide, such as cracks, crevices, and cluttered storage spaces. We examine both indoor and outdoor areas, paying close attention to basements, attics, garages, and any dark, damp zones that scorpions tend to prefer. Our technicians also carefully assess entry points around doors, windows, and vents to locate possible access points for the pests.
After completing the inspection, we will review our findings, recommend solutions, and provide a free estimate. Once we have approval to proceed, our technicians can take swift action to treat infested areas. We can strategically apply professional-grade pesticides and dust formulations to eliminate active scorpions. These products target hiding places like wall voids, baseboards, and outdoor landscaping features, such as rocks and wood piles. For areas with high levels of activity, we may utilize specialized tools to apply residual treatments that discourage scorpions from returning. Our technicians focus heavily on sealing or treating entry points to reduce the likelihood of future infestations. By dealing with both the pests and their nesting areas, we can effectively address the immediate threat.
Following treatment, our team at Jerry's Pest Control can provide detailed recommendations for reducing scorpion attractants on the property. This process usually includes removing debris, clearing overgrown vegetation, and managing standing water that may draw scorpions closer.
If you spot more than one scorpion in or near your home or business, don’t ignore the problem. Schedule an inspection by calling (970) 293-4999 or contact us online today.
