Scorpion & Pest Control in Tempe, AZ

Tempe's mix of older neighborhoods, canal systems, and proximity to the Salt River makes it a year-round hotspot for scorpions and pests. Whether you're near the canals in south Tempe, close to ASU, or in an established neighborhood near Elliot or Warner roads, scorpions are an unwelcome reality. At Nighttime Pest Control we treat at night — when scorpions are actually out and moving — using our Slick Barrier method that stops them at your perimeter before they ever get inside.
Why Tempe Homeowners Deal With Scorpions Year-Round
Tempe sits between the Salt River and the East Valley's expanding desert edge, and its dense canal network creates ideal scorpion habitat. Canals provide moisture, vegetation, and shelter — scorpions thrive along canal banks and spread into adjacent neighborhoods from there. Older Tempe neighborhoods with mature landscaping, established trees, and aging foundations give scorpions plenty of cracks and gaps to exploit.
Tempe also has a high density of rental properties, townhomes, and older single-family homes where pest control has been inconsistent over the years. Untreated neighboring properties act as a constant source of reinfestation — which is exactly why a physical barrier like Slick Barrier is so valuable. Even if your neighbors aren't treating, scorpions cannot cross your perimeter.

How Our Nighttime Treatment Works
Scorpions in Tempe follow the same pattern as everywhere else in Arizona — they hide all day and come out at night. The canal systems, mature trees, and block walls in Tempe give them endless daytime shelter. Spraying during the day barely touches them. Our approach is built around this reality.
-
1. We arrive after dark: Our technicians treat your Tempe property at night when scorpions are actively moving and exposed.
-
2. We apply Slick Barrier: We treat your foundation, walls, entry points, canal-facing edges, and key harborage areas around your perimeter.
-
3. The barrier does the work: Scorpions lose the grip they need to climb your exterior walls — they simply cannot get inside.
-
4. Guaranteed results: If scorpions appear inside after treatment, we come back at no charge until your home is clear.
What Is Slick Barrier?
Slick Barrier is our signature treatment and the reason Tempe homeowners who switch to us stop seeing scorpions inside. Unlike a standard pesticide spray, Slick Barrier creates a physical surface barrier on the exterior of your home that bark scorpions cannot grip or climb. It works around the clock — not just on treatment day — giving you continuous protection between visits.
For Tempe properties near canals or with dense landscaping, where scorpion pressure comes from multiple directions, Slick Barrier is especially important. It gives you a consistent line of defense regardless of what is happening next door or along the canal bank behind your yard.

Every Tempe treatment is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you find a scorpion inside your home after we have treated, call us and we will return at no additional charge. We come back as many times as it takes until your home is completely scorpion-free. No fine print, no hassle — just results.

What Tempe Homeowners Are Saying
"We live near one of the canals in south Tempe and scorpions have always been a problem. Nighttime Pest Control is the first company that actually explained the canal connection and treated the right areas. No scorpions inside since."
"Our older home had gaps everywhere and we were finding scorpions constantly. The Slick Barrier stopped them at the outside so they never make it in. Wish we had called sooner."
REVIEW 3 "Fast, professional, and the nighttime schedule makes total sense. I've told every neighbor on my street about them."
Q: Do Tempe's canals make scorpion problems worse? Yes, significantly. Canals provide moisture, vegetation, and shelter that scorpions thrive in. Properties within a few blocks of a canal in Tempe consistently see higher scorpion activity than those farther away. Our perimeter treatment is especially important for canal-adjacent homes because the pressure is constant and comes from a reliable nearby source.
Q: How much does pest control cost in Tempe, AZ? We provide free no-obligation quotes for all Tempe properties. Pricing depends on your lot size and current infestation level. You'll have an exact number before any work begins — no surprises. Call or fill out our form and we'll get back to you quickly.
Q: My Tempe home is older — does that make scorpion treatment harder? Older homes typically have more entry points — aging weatherstripping, foundation cracks, gaps around pipes, and settling that creates new openings over time. We account for this during our perimeter assessment and make sure all key entry points are covered by the Slick Barrier treatment.
Q: Do you treat apartment complexes or rental properties in Tempe? Yes. We work with property managers and landlords throughout Tempe, including complexes near ASU and along the major corridors. We can set up recurring treatment schedules for multi-unit properties.
Q: Are your treatments safe near the canal areas? Yes. We use EPA-registered products and are mindful of treating responsibly near water features, landscaping, and sensitive areas. We'll walk you through the treatment plan for your specific property.
Q: How quickly can I expect results in Tempe? Most customers notice a significant reduction after the first treatment. The Slick Barrier builds to full effectiveness over the first couple of weeks. If you see any scorpions inside during that time, call us and we will come back at no charge.
