Nevada's desert climate provides ideal conditions for scorpions. If you live in the Mesquite or Las Vegas area, understanding local scorpion species is essential for protecting your family.
Nevada's Most Common Scorpions
The Arizona Bark Scorpion is the most medically significant species in Nevada. It's slender, light brown, and can climb walls and ceilings. The Desert Hairy Scorpion is Nevada's largest species but less dangerous.
Seasonal Activity
Scorpion activity peaks from April through October when nighttime temperatures stay above 70°F. During winter months, they seek shelter and become largely inactive.
Nevada-Specific Prevention
Desert landscaping common in Nevada can harbor scorpions. Remove decorative rock piles near your home, seal gaps around pool equipment, and keep palm tree bark trimmed (bark scorpions love palm trees).
