Scorpion Control for Homes on Slabs, Rock Beds & Rural Properties
Scorpions can be unsettling—especially when they show up in the bathtub, along the baseboard, or in a child’s bedroom. In much of Oklahoma, the most commonly encountered species is the striped bark scorpion, a small, tan scorpion that likes to hide in rock piles, landscape stone, wall voids, and under debris during the day before hunting at night.
Boots Pest & Weed Control offers scorpion-focused services for homes in Elgin, Lawton, and surrounding Southwest Oklahoma communities. We don’t promise that you’ll never see another scorpion, but we do focus on the three things that matter: finding where they’re hiding, reducing their food sources, and sealing or treating the pathways that bring them into your living space.

Scorpions in Southwest Oklahoma – What You’re
Dealing With
Striped bark scorpions are well-adapted to our climate. They’re often found around:
- Rock gardens, stone borders, and stacked stone walls
- Railroad ties, lumber piles, bricks, and cinder blocks
- Old tree stumps, wood piles, and yard debris
- Crawl spaces, attics, and gaps around slab foundations
Their sting is typically painful but not life-threatening for most healthy adults, but children, pets, and anyone sensitive to stings need an extra layer of protection and caution.
Scorpion Inspection: Finding Daytime Hideouts
Your scorpion service starts with a thorough inspection of:
- The perimeter of your home, especially where stone and foundation meet
- Landscaping features such as rock beds, decorative boulders, and stacked materials
- Potential entry points around doors, garage seals, utility penetrations, and weep holes
- Interior areas where scorpions are commonly reported—bathrooms, closets, basements, and attached garages
We may also discuss the option of nighttime blacklight checks, which can help in identifying active scorpion zones around the property.
Treatment & Habitat Reduction Strategy
Scorpions are tough, so control is a combination of chemical and non-chemical tactics:
- Exterior perimeter treatments around foundation, expansion joints, and likely travel routes
- Targeted applications in rock and landscape areas where scorpions hide during the day
- Recommendations for reducing clutter and stacked materials near the home
- Suggestions for tightening weatherstripping and door sweeps, screening vents, and sealing cracks where possible
- Strengthening your general pest control to reduce other insects that scorpions feed on
This multi-pronged approach makes your property less hospitable to scorpions and less likely to see them indoors.

Scorpion Control FAQs
What species of scorpion do you usually see in this area?
Most of the scorpions we encounter in our service area are striped bark scorpions. They’re relatively small and very good at squeezing into tight spaces.
Are scorpion stings dangerous?
For most healthy adults, stings are extremely painful but not usually life-threatening. However, children, pets, and people with allergies or sensitivities can be at higher risk and should seek medical attention if stung.
Can you completely eliminate scorpions from my property?
No service can guarantee that. However, with a combination of habitat reduction, exclusion, and regular treatment, we can significantly reduce encounters and lower the chance of scorpions entering your home.
How do scorpions get inside my house?
They can slip in under poorly fitted doors, gaps in weatherstripping, cracks in slab edges, and openings around pipes or vents. Part of our service is identifying and recommending fixes for these access points.
Will general pest control help with scorpions?
Yes. Scorpions are predators, so reducing the insect population around your home reduces their food supply. A strong general pest program works hand-in-hand with scorpion control.
Do I need ongoing service for scorpions?
If you’ve seen scorpions inside or live in an area conducive to them (rocky terrain, slab construction, lots of stone landscaping), ongoing service is strongly recommended to keep populations and activity down.
