Much like their cousins the Spider, Scorpions are also Arachnids. Although mostly harmless, these cool crustacean looking bugs have the ability to scare the living daylight out of you. Luckily for you, Pest Worx has a team of Scorpion Control Durban experts on standby. When it comes to out of the ordinary Insects, give us a call and rest assured you’re in good hands.
Most of the Scorpions we find locally here in Durban are of the burrowing kind. They are light sensitive and rarely move around during the day. Its for this reason we have devised a special treatment that targets Scorpions as well as other night dwelling crawling insects. This way you can keep your kids as well as pets safe from the horrors that go bump in the night.
Pest Worx Durban used a highly synthesized mix of pyrethroids and systemic stomach poison to create a strong chemical barrier stopping Insects from crossing.

Keep scorpions away for longer with a little help from Pest Worx here in Durban
Scorpions as well as similar Arachnids can be quite tricky to handle. Unlike Insects such as Cockroaches and Ants, Scorpions do not constantly groom themselves. This means that unlike conventional Insects they don’t spread insecticide all over their body once in contact with it. Couple this with their slower that average metabolism and you’ve got a dangerous predatory insect that doesn’t die that easily.
Scorpion Control Durban understand the biology of the insects we deal with. This helps to specially structure an unconventional approach that targets this unconventional species. Rather than just spray and pray it works we have a look at your situation as a hole and structure a treatment program around what you, our client needs. Here are a few things we keep in mind while structuring your treatment.
Know your enemy, in this case scorpions:
- Scorpions found here in Durban and throughout South Africa live in burrows: This means they frequent homes with pretty decorations. Rock features as well as potted plants are all fair game to a desperate Scorpion looking for a place to hide.
- Scorpions are a predatory species: In lay mans terms this means that if you have a bug problem, chances are they are attracting Scorpions as well as other predatory Insects. A general Pest Control Fumigation can keep away more pests than just your average Fishmoth.
- Scorpions do need water to survive: Contrary to popular belief, Scorpions do need water to survive. Granted, they do get a lot of moisture from their prey. This doesn’t mean that they will stay clear of puddles as well as other stagnant water sources. Making sure your garden is clean and clear of pools and puddles will not only deter Scorpions. It will do a good job at deterring other Insect species Scorpions may prey on.
A reliable Scorpion Fumigation when you need it

Although most Scorpions are not deadly, there is one species that is specially nasty. These are namely the Parabuthus family. In South Africa and Durban this family of Arachnids are the only ones of medical significance. Its this species that requires a reliable and effective Scorpion Fumigation service.
Here at Pest Worx we ensure the safety or your family as well as your pets by strategically applying an unbroken chemical barrier that stops Scorpion and other tough dying Arachnids in their tracks. By utilizing dual-active insecticides we can ensure a faster acting longer lasting and generally more effective Scorpion spray.
