Irrigation Nights Are When Mesa Scorpions Move
Bark scorpions are the reason most Mesa homeowners call us, and they behave differently on each side of town. On the flood-irrigated lots around Lehi and the older Dobson and Alta Mesa blocks, the water pushes them up out of the soil and toward the nearest dry wall. East of Power Road, where the subdivisions run up against the Usery foothills and the Salt River bed, they come in off open desert every night. We treat both, but we do not treat them the same way.
A bark scorpion can flatten itself into a gap about the width of a credit card, which is why spraying a patio does so little on its own. In Mesa the gap is almost always the same set of places: the weep holes along the bottom course of a block wall, the stucco stop where the wall meets the slab, the open ends of S-tile at the eave, and the rubber seal at the corners of a garage door. We close those first. Only then does a treatment have anything to hold onto.
Flood irrigation is the other half of the job here, and it is specific to Mesa in a way most companies ignore. When a lot in Lehi or the old citrus blocks takes water, everything living in that soil column comes up at once, and scorpions arrive at the house within a day. Treating a week ahead of the water accomplishes very little. We schedule around the irrigation cycle instead of a fixed calendar date. Then we come back after dark with a black light, because bark scorpions fluoresce and that is the only honest way to confirm a treatment actually worked.

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.
