Most Flagstaff Scorpion Calls Are Not Scorpions
We will be straight about this one. Flagstaff sits at roughly seven thousand feet in ponderosa pine forest with real winters, and the Arizona bark scorpion is a low desert species. Scorpions are not a routine pest problem at this elevation the way they are in Phoenix or Tucson. Most Flagstaff calls that come to us as scorpion calls turn out to be something else, and telling you that honestly is more useful than selling a treatment you do not need.
What people usually find in Flagstaff are wood-boring and moisture-associated insects that look alarming at a glance. Carpenter ants working moisture-damaged wood in a cabin or older frame home, cellar spiders and wolf spiders in a crawl space, and the occasional centipede all get reported as scorpions, especially in poor light. When we get called out, the first thing we do is identify what is actually there. If it is not a scorpion, we say so and treat the real problem instead.
Genuine scorpion sightings do happen here, and they generally have an explanation. Something rode up from the Valley in moving boxes, firewood, landscape rock or a vehicle, or the property sits lower and warmer than town toward the Verde Valley. In those cases the response is the same disciplined exclusion work we do anywhere: find the entry, seal it, treat the harborage close to the structure, and check with a black light after dark. What we will not do is put a desert scorpion program on a pine forest house because the phone call used that word.

Phoenix, Arizona, is home to various scorpion species due to its desert environment. The most common and well-known among them is the Arizona bark scorpion, which also happens to be the most venomous in North America. However, there are several other scorpion species found in the area. Some of the scorpions you might come across in Phoenix include:
Arizona Bark Scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus)
This is the most common and venomous scorpion in Phoenix. It's small and has a yellowish-tan color. Its sting can cause severe pain and other symptoms, especially in children or the elderly.
Stripe-tailed Scorpion (Paravaejovis spinigerus)
Also common in Phoenix, it's identified by dark stripes running the length of its tail. Its sting is painful but less dangerous than the bark scorpion's.
Desert Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis)
The largest scorpion in North America, it has a dark body and hairy appearance. Despite its intimidating size, its sting is less venomous than the bark scorpion's.
Giant Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus hirsutus)
Similar to the desert hairy scorpion but found more in the Sonoran Desert.
Yellow Ground Scorpion (Vaejovis confusus)
Smaller in size and less commonly encountered.
Striped Back Scorpion
It's also found in the area but is less common.
