Scorpion stings aren't just painful, they can also be fatal. Fortunately, the only scorpion in Dallas is the Striped Bark Scorpion, and their venom does not carry a lot of toxins. Most people experience painful swelling at the site of the sting, and they may also have nausea, dizziness, and numbness.

Like most desert creatures, scorpions are resilient. They can live for one year without eating, and can even stay underwater for multiple days.

"Forterra folks and service was amazing. The ease at which I could sign up, schedule and access my account is great. Jason and his crew were right on time, didn't make a mess in my yard, and sent me a text right after explaining exactly what they did. Highly recommended."

"Definitely Recommend!! They explained everything on the phone and showed up the next day and serviced my home and yard to perfection. They even gave me an extra treatment around my shed. It’s been 3 weeks now, haven’t seen any ants or wasps or critters. Will edit my review if I see something in the future. Overall 10+"

"I’m so impressed! Usually this time of year I start finding spiders sneaking in from outside but I am yet to see one! All the mice that have been tearing through my screens are now gone! 10/10 recommend!"
