Identifying scorpions in Seguin
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.
Seguin seasonal outlook: Scorpion activity peaks June–September, hunting hardest on hot, dry nights.
Why Seguin homes get scorpions
Seguin sits in Guadalupe County, where long triple-digit summers, mild winters, and sudden heavy rain give scorpions a nearly year-round runway. Irrigation cycles, shaded landscaping, and standing moisture keep scorpion activity high even when the yard looks dry, which is why our Seguin programs run on a schedule instead of a single visit.
Where they get in around here
On Seguin routes, our technicians track scorpion activity back to weep holes and unscreened attic vents, worn door sweeps and garage jambs, rock borders, woodpiles, and landscape stone near the foundation, and wall voids they reach while following cricket activity. We treat those pressure points directly — targeted perimeter applications, void treatments, monitored bait or trapping placements, and exclusion work — so the population drops instead of shifting a few feet down the wall.
“Most Seguin scorpion calls we run aren't a mystery — the conditions are right and nobody closed the gaps. We find the pressure point, treat it, then come back and verify. If it moves again, so do we, on our dime.”
Signs of a scorpion problem
