If you live in Arizona long enough, you’ll eventually experience that familiar jolt—turning on a light in the middle of the night and spotting a scorpion frozen on the wall or crawling across the floor. For homeowners across Goodyear, Buckeye, Chandler, and Glendale, scorpions are a part of desert life that nobody really gets used to.
Over the years, pest control companies have tried almost everything to keep these resilient pests away—chemical sprays, powders, granules, and even sticky traps. But Arizona scorpions, particularly the bark scorpion, are experts at surviving. They can hide in the smallest cracks, go months without food, and flatten themselves to fit through a space as thin as a credit card.
So what do you do when traditional pest control isn’t enough? That’s where Averzion comes in—the most effective, modern, and permanent way to stop scorpions before they ever enter your home.
Understanding the Scorpion Problem in Arizona
Arizona’s climate is perfect for scorpions. Warm temperatures, dry desert soil, and irrigated neighborhoods provide everything they need to thrive. In places like Goodyear, Surprise, Mesa, and Chandler, homeowners often find scorpions in block walls, garages, and even baseboards.
The most common species, the Arizona bark scorpion, is both venomous and an expert climber. Its smooth claws and thin body allow it to scale brick, stucco, and concrete block walls with ease. Once inside, it hides in dark, cool areas—bathrooms, laundry rooms, and closets—making detection difficult.
Scorpions don’t need an invitation. They crawl up exterior walls, follow utility lines, and slip under door thresholds. And once they’ve entered a home, it’s nearly impossible to get rid of them completely without addressing the root cause: access points.
Why Traditional Pest Control Falls Short
At Pro Vizion Pest Solutions, we’ve seen it all. Many new homeowners start with monthly chemical sprays and assume that will stop scorpions. Unfortunately, while sprays can help reduce overall insect populations, they do little to stop scorpions from entering.
Here’s why:
Scorpions are resilient. Most pesticides that work on ants or roaches barely affect them.
Sprays degrade quickly. Arizona’s sun and monsoon rains break down chemical barriers fast.
Pests adapt. Over time, scorpions learn to avoid treated surfaces or hide in untreated areas.
Home sealing is another popular solution. Sealing gaps and weatherstripping doors is essential, but it only covers part of the problem. Scorpions can still climb over walls, fences, and rooflines to enter through vents or unsealed cracks.
The missing piece was a physical barrier—something that made the surface itself uninhabitable for scorpions.
Introducing Averzion: A Barrier Built by Science
Averzion isn’t a spray, trap, or repellent. It’s a polymer coating system scientifically engineered to stop scorpions, spiders, and insects from scaling walls and entering homes.
Developed and tested in Arizona, Averzion is applied as a smooth, clear coating along the base of block walls, home perimeters, and other vertical surfaces. Once cured, it becomes slick—so slick that scorpions physically cannot climb it.
In simple terms: it’s like trying to climb glass.
Unlike traditional pesticides, Averzion doesn’t lose potency, evaporate, or wash away. It’s a one-time application that lasts for years, providing long-term, chemical-free protection.
How Averzion Works
To understand Averzion’s brilliance, you need to know a bit about scorpion biology. Scorpions climb using specialized claw hairs called setae, which grip rough surfaces like stucco and brick. These micro-hairs hook onto texture, allowing scorpions to defy gravity.
Averzion eliminates that advantage. The polymer fills in the microscopic pores of block and stucco, creating a surface so smooth that scorpions can’t get traction. When they attempt to climb, they simply slide off and retreat.
The coating is:
Durable – Designed to withstand Arizona’s harsh heat, dust, and UV exposure.
Eco-friendly – Contains no pesticides or toxins, safe for kids, pets, and pollinators.
Invisible – Clear finish that doesn’t alter the look of your home or wall.
Permanent – A single application can last for years with minimal maintenance.
Why Arizona Homeowners Are Switching to Averzion
In pest-heavy cities like Goodyear, Gilbert, Scottsdale, and Surprise, Averzion is becoming the go-to upgrade for serious pest prevention. Homeowners who used to rely on constant spraying are seeing real results—some report going months or even years without seeing a single scorpion indoors.
Here’s why:
1. It’s a Physical, Not Chemical, Solution
Traditional pest control relies on chemicals that break down. Averzion doesn’t kill pests—it blocks them out entirely. That means fewer chemicals around your family and a cleaner, greener home environment.
2. It Reduces the Food Chain
Scorpions feed on crickets, spiders, and other small insects. Once Averzion is applied, those pests can’t climb walls either, meaning fewer scorpion food sources near your home.
3. It Adds Property Value
Homes with scorpion prevention systems like Averzion appeal to buyers across Arizona. It’s a long-term investment that provides peace of mind and marketability.
4. It Works Everywhere
From single-family homes in Buckeye to luxury estates in Paradise Valley, Averzion integrates seamlessly into any property type.
The Installation Process
At Pro Vizion Pest Solutions, we’ve partnered with Averzion-certified installers to make the process seamless from start to finish.
Step 1: Inspection
We start by inspecting your property to identify risk areas—block walls, perimeter foundations, and known scorpion entry points.
Step 2: Preparation
Walls are cleaned, dried, and lightly sanded to ensure perfect adhesion. This is crucial for long-term durability.
Step 3: Application
Averzion is applied evenly in a band along the wall or foundation. Once it cures, it becomes smooth, glossy, and completely climb-proof.
Step 4: Integration
After installation, we incorporate the barrier into your overall pest control plan, pairing it with quarterly treatments and sealing. This creates a layered defense system that eliminates gaps scorpions might exploit.
Averzion vs. Traditional Pest Control
Homeowner Results and Real Feedback
After Averzion installations, homeowners report immediate changes.
In Goodyear, a homeowner who regularly found scorpions in her garage went six months without a sighting. In Chandler, a family with children noted that their backyard—once full of scorpion activity—became completely pest-free.
These stories aren’t rare. Averzion customers consistently report reductions in pest activity of over 90%.
Perfect for Arizona’s Climate
Averzion is designed specifically for Arizona’s extremes. The polymer coating flexes with temperature changes, won’t peel under the sun, and resists the dust storms common in Buckeye, Avondale, and Peoria.
Rain and monsoon moisture don’t affect it either. While pesticides may wash away, Averzion’s waterproof barrier stays in place year after year.
The Eco-Friendly Advantage
More homeowners today are choosing safer, non-toxic pest solutions. Averzion fits perfectly into that shift. It contains no poisons or volatile compounds—just a mechanical solution that stops pests naturally.
When combined with Pro Vizion’s eco-friendly pest treatments, homeowners can reduce pesticide use by up to 70% while maintaining complete protection.
The Bottom Line
Scorpions are survivors. They’ve been around for 400 million years, thriving in harsh conditions where few other creatures can live. Beating them takes innovation—not just stronger sprays, but smarter science.
Averzion represents that leap forward. It doesn’t just control scorpions; it changes the game by removing their ability to invade your space.
Whether you live in Goodyear, Chandler, Scottsdale, or Mesa, this is the next evolution of pest defense—one that doesn’t rely on chemicals, doesn’t fade away, and doesn’t just treat the symptom. It stops the problem before it begins.
If you’re tired of checking your shoes before bed or worrying about what’s crawling under the couch, it’s time to take back control of your home—with Averzion, powered by Pro Vizion Pest Solutions.
