The DFW species
Overview What is Forterra's scorpion control service?
Forterra Scorpion Control targets the striped bark scorpion, the one species DFW homes deal with, perimeter treatment, sealing at weep holes and thresholds under the Zero Gap System™, and reduction of the insects scorpions hunt, since thinning the prey base makes a yard boring to them, as standard parts of the quarterly plan from $49/month. We flag the harborage to clear and show you where; the treatment handles the rest. Money-back guarantee, TPCL #850046.

Signs scorpions are living here, not passing through.
DFW has exactly one scorpion, the striped bark scorpion, and it hunts at night and hides by day. These are the signs it has moved in.
01
Sightings after dark
Scorpions glow blue-green under a UV flashlight, an easy check any homeowner can run after dark. One scorpion crossing a wall at night usually means more in the harborage nearby.
Look here Exterior walls · patios · garage floors
02
Daytime hiding spots
Flip a stone, a flowerpot or a piece of firewood and find a scorpion pressed flat underneath. They rest in tight, cool contact with cover all day, then hunt from it at night.
Look here Rock borders · firewood · stored boxes
03
Crickets and roaches around
Scorpions go where the hunting is. A yard loud with crickets or a garage with roaches is a stocked pantry, and treating that prey is half of scorpion control.
Look here Around exterior lights · weep holes · garages
04
Indoor finds in heat waves
In July and August drought, scorpions follow moisture indoors through weep holes, door gaps and attic vents, turning up in sinks, bathtubs and garages. Summer indoor sightings mean the perimeter is open.

Why sprays alone fail
We remove their food and shelter.
A scorpion shrugs off the sprays that kill other pests, so we go after what it cannot live without, cover to hide under, prey to eat, and a way inside.
Stage 01
01
Remove cover
Lose the cover, lose the scorpions.
A scorpion walks high on its legs and shrugs off surface sprays that kill other pests. What it cannot survive is losing its cover, rock borders, wood piles and clutter get identified and treated, and you get the short list worth clearing.
Stage 02
02
Starve hunters
A yard that stops feeding them stops keeping them.
Scorpions came for the crickets and roaches. The quarterly general pest treatment removes that prey base, and a yard that stops feeding scorpions stops keeping them.
Stage 03
03
Seal entries
Weep holes and door gaps stop being a way to your bathtub.
Weep holes, door sweeps, attic vents and foundation gaps are how they end up in a bathtub. Zero Gap exclusion closes the routes, so summer heat pushes them somewhere else.
Where scorpions actually get in
The bathtub scorpion started outside. Here is its route.
Striped bark scorpions climb brick effortlessly and follow cool, moist air. In July drought they work these six openings until one gives.
● Inspected entry point
▲ Above grade Climbers and high entries
▼ Below grade Ground-level entries
- 01
Weep holes
Scorpion-sized by design and at harborage height, the single most common entry we seal in DFW.
- 02
Garage door bottom
The corner gap plus stored clutter equals daytime shelter one door from the house.
- 03
Soffit gaps
Climbers reach the roofline by wall and tree; attic entries drop them into closets and tubs.
- 04
HVAC penetrations
Cool air leaking from line-set holes is a beacon in a Texas drought.
- 05
Gable vents
Torn screens read as cave entrances to a climbing scorpion. A torn screen is worth replacing, and the inspection points every one out.
- 06
Utility penetrations
Slab-level gaps stay damp; scorpions follow plumbing lines to bathrooms above.

The scorpion visit
Forterra's scorpion process, step by step.
Four steps stand between a scorpion sighting and a defended home, starting with a price you get without anyone visiting first.
- 01
Transparent quote
Priced from your couch. The quote tool needs about a minute, the office phone barely longer. Scorpion service rides the quarterly plan, so the monthly figure you see is the one you keep.
- 02
First-visit inspection
The technician works the perimeter, harborage points, entry gaps and prey pressure, adding UV survey work where it helps, to learn where scorpions rest rather than where one was spotted.
- 03
Treat and exclude
Targeted treatment at the harborage, general pest control for the prey base, and sealing on the entry routes, all in the same visit.
- 04
Guaranteed results
Another scorpion inside means another visit, free. Coverage continues quarter after quarter, and the money-back guarantee is the floor under all of it.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
For most people a sting means sharp pain, swelling and numbness at the site for a few hours, comparable to a bad wasp sting. The real risk is allergic reaction, which can require emergency care, and stings are worse for small children, older adults and pets. Painful for anyone, dangerous for some, and worth preventing either way.
Summer drought sends them indoors after moisture. They climb walls and enter through weep holes, attic vents and door gaps, then follow plumbing lines to bathrooms and end up trapped in the smooth tub. Indoor finds in July and August are the classic sign the perimeter needs sealing.
Store sprays rarely work on scorpions. They stand high off treated surfaces, their bodies resist contact insecticides, and they can go months without eating, so they simply wait out a treated area. Effective control removes their shelter, their prey and their entry routes, which is how we treat them.
Scorpion service is built into the $49 monthly quarterly plan, because treating the prey base is the heart of the treatment. Heavy harborage needing extra exclusion gets an added line item, written and approved first.
