Phoenix and its neighboring cities like Chandler are in a valley, in any direction you go you are surrounded by barren desert which goes on for many miles. The closer you are to the outskirts of the valley, the more desert wildlife you will be exposed to. Chandler borders the barren desert. It’s not out of the norm for Chandler residents to see coyotes, javelina, rattle snakes, and of course tons of scorpions, a situation that demands effective scorpion pest control.
The further you go from that desert border the lesser you will see. For example living in downtown Phoenix you might never come across a scorpion except for maybe in a wash. Still, living away from these borders doesn’t eliminate the need for occasional pest control against scorpions.
Scorpion pest control in Chandler is a big business. Every pest control company advertises scorpion pest control for Chandler, many give guarantees that if after they treat your property, if you see a scorpion they will come back and treat again at no charge. It’s not a big deal for them to add another stop on a route to give a quick spraying. But for you it’s that much more poison on your property and it doesn’t stop scorpions.
Homeowners have often turned to DIY scorpion pest control methods to handle the issue themselves. It has been a never ending battle for homeowners in Chandler and other areas for decades. Scorpions are of the spider family, they do not drag their abdomens(or undersides) along the ground. Their legs elevate the abdomen from making contact with the ground.
The only part of their body that contacts pesticide applied to your property is the tips of their legs or little feet. They do not groom themselves with their legs like cockroaches do, so the poison does not get on their bodies. Therefore there is no death threat to them. For a scorpion to die from pesticide it must be a direct hit to their bodies. This is why scorpion pest control has been a struggle for homeowners since the city was formed.
