Scorpion Control in McAllen, TX
Striped bark scorpions (Centruroides vittatus) are the species encountered in the RGV. Hundreds of research-grade observations are logged within 30 km of McAllen on iNaturalist.
Why this is a McAllen issue
McAllen has a subtropical climate with average summer highs near 97°F and winter lows around 52°F. There is no hard winter freeze, so scorpions stay active year-round rather than dying off in winter as they do in colder regions. This makes consistent treatment and exclusion more important than a one-time fix.
Signs of scorpions in your home
- Sightings of scorpions on walls or floors at night
- UV-light fluorescence during nighttime inspection
- Stings (similar to a bee sting in severity) when accidentally contacted
- Scorpions hiding under rocks, logs, or debris near the home
