Rising Scorpion Sightings & How to Identify in Phoenix, AZ

Arizona is home to a few different scorpion species, but these are the most common in the Phoenix area. Here are the top three scorpion species we see in the Valley (with pictures to help you differentiate!):

Arizona Bark Scorpion

The Arizona bark scorpion is the most dangerous and most common scorpion in the Phoenix area. It is slender, yellow-tan, and usually about two to three inches long. Bark scorpions can climb walls and are often found indoors, especially in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and garages.

Desert Hairy Scorpion

This is the largest scorpion in the United States, sometimes growing up to five inches. These scorpions are usually found outdoors under rocks or in gardens and are not often seen inside homes.

Stripe-tailed Scorpion

The stripe-tailed scorpion is medium-sized and tan with dark stripes on its tail. It is less venomous than the bark scorpion but still has a painful sting.

Gnaw Marks: Freshly chewed edges on food packaging, electrical wiring, PVC pipes, or drywall.

Noises: Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking from attics, crawl spaces, or inside walls, particularly at night.

Nests: Piles of shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or plant matter hidden in attics, garages, or behind appliances.
