Shared Walls Move Scorpions Between Tempe Units
Tempe is dense, it turns over fast, and a lot of it was built in the 1960s, which shapes the scorpion work here. Older brick and block tract homes south of Baseline have settled, and settled slabs open expansion joints that scorpions use as a highway. In the rental stock around ASU and Mill Avenue, a scorpion problem in one unit is rarely just one unit, because shared plumbing walls connect them.
In a multi-unit building, treating a single apartment is close to wasted money. Bark scorpions travel through the same wall voids and plumbing chases that connect the units, so they simply move next door and come back. We inspect the adjacent and stacked units as a matter of course, treat what is actually there, and give the property manager written findings per unit. That record matters when a tenant reports a sting and the owner needs to show what was done and when.
The older single-family side of Tempe is a structural job. A slab poured sixty years ago has moved, and the movement shows up as cracks at the expansion joints and gaps where plumbing penetrates. Those are the entry points, and no amount of perimeter spray substitutes for closing them. On the blocks that back onto Papago Park we handle it as desert interface work instead, sealing the envelope and treating the ground line, then checking with a black light after dark.

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.
