Understanding Scorpions in the White Mountains
While many people associate scorpions with lower-elevation desert areas, Show Low and the surrounding White Mountains region has its own unique scorpion challenges. At Adventure Pest and Wildlife, we understand the specific scorpion species that thrive at our high elevation and have developed targeted solutions to protect your home and family.
Our comprehensive scorpion control services combine thorough inspection, strategic treatment, and preventative measures to ensure your Show Low property remains scorpion-free throughout the year.
Why Scorpions Enter Show
Low Homes
Seasonal Factors
The distinct seasonal changes in Show Low create specific patterns in scorpion behavior:
- Spring Emergence: As temperatures warm after winter, scorpions become active and begin searching for food and mates
- Summer Activity: Peak scorpion season, when they’re most likely to enter homes seeking cooler environments
- Fall Migration: As outdoor temperatures drop, scorpions seek warmer shelter, often inside homes
- Winter Survival: Unlike lower desert areas, Show Low’s cold winters force scorpions to find protected hibernation spots, sometimes within homes
Habitat Attractants
Several factors make your property attractive to scorpions:
- Moisture Sources: Leaking pipes, sprinkler systems, and water features
- Food Availability: Presence of insects that scorpions prey upon
- Shelter Opportunities: Woodpiles, rock features, dense vegetation, and cluttered areas
- Entry Points: Gaps in foundations, doors, windows, and utility penetrations
- Warmth: The heating of homes during cold mountain winters creates an inviting environment

- Apply caulk around roof eaves, pipes, and other wall penetrations
