Scorpions in Wichita Falls: What Homeowners Are Dealing With
The Striped Bark Scorpion (Centruroides vittatus) is the species Wichita Falls homeowners encounter. It’s the only scorpion found throughout all of Texas and the one responsible for nearly every local sting report. Activity climbs sharply during summer: extreme heat drives scorpions out of attics and wall voids into living areas, which is when most indoor encounters happen.
New construction spreading south toward Lake Wichita has increased scorpion pressure in surrounding neighborhoods. Land clearing displaces established populations from native brush, pushing them toward homes. Striped Bark Scorpions don’t burrow, so they look for shelter in garages, attics, under rocks, and inside wall voids. Because they’re nocturnal, homeowners often don’t realize they have a problem until a sting occurs.
A sting produces painful localized swelling and itching that can last several days. No scorpion species in Texas is lethal to healthy adults, but allergic reactions are possible. Anyone experiencing unusual symptoms after a sting should seek medical attention.
How Shoop's Texas Termite & Pest Control Handles Scorpion Control
Every service starts with a full interior and exterior inspection. We identify active scorpion activity, conducive conditions like debris and entry points, and signs of prior infestation. Treatment is then matched to your home’s specific needs.
Initial treatment includes an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) application. IGRs disrupt the development cycle of scorpion prey populations, reducing the food source that sustains scorpions around your home. Depending on the situation, we may also use spray, granular, fogging, or dusting applications. We address common entry points as well, including weep holes, foundation gaps, and gaps around door and window frames.
Follow-up services are scheduled monthly or quarterly based on the severity of the infestation. Consistent treatment is what keeps populations managed over time.
