Frequently Asked Questions About Scorpions
What are scorpions?
Scorpions are predatory arachnids known for their threatening pincers and tails that can deliver serious stings. There are several types of scorpions around North America today, with the striped bark scorpion being the most common in Texas.
The striped bark scorpion can grow to three inches in length, has a sandy to yellow color with two brown stripes running down its back, and has a long tail with a large stinger at the end. This scorpion species is a hunter with two claws used to hold prey or pinch with, and they have two eyes on top of their head and eight legs. Striped bark scorpions blend in with their environment, making them difficult to see until it’s too late.
Are scorpions dangerous?
Though all different types of scorpions are frightening to encounter, not all of them are incredibly dangerous. Scorpions have varying levels of venom, and only a few species will deliver stings that result in health risks, such as the striped bark scorpion. However, all scorpion species may trigger allergic reactions with their stings and create serious stress as they hide around your property.
Why do I have a scorpion problem?
Scorpion problems occur when these pests have easy access to food, hiding spots, and drinks on your property. Lots of pest prey problems, excess moisture, and crevices or cracks around the exterior and interior of structures may precipitate an infestation of these pests. Reducing or removing access to these items can help prevent scorpion issues.
