Scorpion Control in East Texas
Professional Scorpion Control for Homes and Businesses in Palestine
Scorpions are a common concern for homeowners and business owners throughout East Texas, particularly in properties surrounded by wooded areas, rock piles, or dense ground cover. M&M Pest Control provides professional scorpion control services designed to eliminate existing activity and reduce the conditions that draw scorpions onto a property in the first place.
As a locally owned and family-operated pest control company, M&M Pest Control understands the scorpion pressures common throughout Anderson County and the surrounding East Texas communities. Our technicians are trained to identify entry points, likely harborage areas, and the treatment approach best suited to each property’s layout and surroundings.
Scorpion Activity in East Texas
The striped bark scorpion is the species most commonly encountered throughout East Texas, and it is well adapted to the region’s warm climate and wooded terrain. These scorpions are skilled climbers and are frequently found under tree bark, in woodpiles, beneath rocks and landscaping timbers, and inside cluttered garages, sheds, and storage areas.
Scorpions are most active during the warmer months and tend to seek shelter indoors when temperatures rise or during periods of heavy rain. Because they can enter through very small gaps around doors, windows, and utility lines, homes with unsealed exterior openings are especially vulnerable to scorpions moving from the surrounding landscape into living spaces.

The Risks Scorpions Pose to Homes and Families
While striped bark scorpion stings are rarely medically dangerous for most healthy adults, they can cause significant pain, swelling, and discomfort, and reactions can be more severe for children, older adults, or individuals with allergies. Scorpions are also most active at night, which increases the chance of an unexpected encounter in bedrooms, bathrooms, or while walking barefoot through the house.
Because scorpions often hide in shoes, bedding, towels, and stored items, homes with heavier scorpion activity require careful inspection of these areas in addition to standard perimeter treatment. Properties near wooded lots or with significant outdoor clutter tend to see the highest levels of scorpion activity throughout the season.
Our Approach to Scorpion Control
M&M Pest Control begins every scorpion control service with a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of the property to identify entry points, harborage areas, and signs of existing activity. Because scorpions are drawn to specific conditions such as woodpiles, rock beds, and leaf litter, our technicians assess the immediate surroundings of the structure in addition to the building itself.
Treatment includes targeted exterior applications around the foundation, entry points, and known harborage areas, along with interior treatment where activity has been identified. Our technicians also provide guidance on reducing conducive conditions, such as relocating woodpiles away from the structure and sealing gaps around doors, windows, and utility penetrations, to help prevent scorpions from re-entering after treatment.
Residential Scorpion Control Services
Homeowners throughout Palestine and East Texas rely on M&M Pest Control to reduce scorpion activity in and around their properties, particularly in garages, attics, and homes bordering wooded lots or rural land. Our residential scorpion treatments create a protective barrier around the exterior of the home while addressing any interior activity discovered during inspection.
Because scorpion pressure often returns each season as surrounding populations move toward structures, many homeowners choose to pair scorpion control with a routine pest control program that provides scheduled exterior treatments throughout the year rather than addressing the problem only after scorpions are found indoors.
Commercial Scorpion Control Services
Businesses throughout East Texas with properties bordering wooded or undeveloped land, including warehouses, storage facilities, and rural commercial buildings, depend on M&M Pest Control for ongoing scorpion management. Scorpions in commercial settings are often found in storage areas, loading docks, and infrequently disturbed spaces where employees may unknowingly come into contact with them.
Our commercial scorpion control programs are built around each property’s specific layout and surrounding terrain, with scheduled treatments designed to keep scorpion populations from establishing themselves near entry points and storage areas.
