Identifying scorpions in San Antonio
The striped bark scorpion (Centruroides vittatus) is the dominant local species — tan with two dark longitudinal stripes, 2–3" long including the tail.
Behavior & habitat
Nocturnal hunters that shelter under rocks, in mulch, in attics, and inside walls during the day. They follow prey (crickets, roaches) into homes, often through weep holes and gaps under doors.
Why scorpions are a problem here
Stings are painful (similar to a wasp) and can cause numbness, swelling, and breathing difficulty in sensitive individuals or small children.
San Antonio seasonal outlook: Termite swarms hit hardest in spring, scorpions peak June through September, and rodents push indoors as soon as nights drop below 60°F.
Signs of a scorpions problem
- • Scorpions spotted at night — they glow blue-green under UV light
- • Visible in tubs, sinks, or on walls (drawn by moisture)
- • Heavy cricket population around the home (a primary food source)
