The Science Behind Averzion’s Scorpion Barrier Technology

Scorpions have survived in Arizona for millions of years, thriving in brutal desert heat and scarce water. They’re expert climbers, resilient hunters, and nearly immune to most pesticides.

That’s why scientists and engineers set out to understand exactly how scorpions climb—and how to stop them. The result was Averzion, a technology born from biology and refined through engineering.

How Scorpions Climb

The Arizona bark scorpion, found throughout Phoenix, Gilbert, and Buckeye, has tiny microscopic hairs on its claws called setae. These hairs grip uneven surfaces like stucco, brick, and concrete, allowing the scorpion to scale vertical walls with ease.

That’s why home sealing alone doesn’t work—scorpions simply climb up, over, and around sealed entry points.

Averzion neutralizes this advantage by creating a surface smoother than glass. The polymer fills micro-pores and texture on masonry, leaving scorpions with nothing to hold onto. When they attempt to climb, gravity wins—they fall away.

Engineered for Arizona Conditions

Arizona’s heat destroys ordinary coatings. Averzion, however, was engineered specifically for desert durability. Its formula withstands UV rays, sand abrasion, and the temperature swings from 40°F nights to 115°F afternoons.

It’s flexible enough to expand and contract with wall materials, ensuring long-lasting adhesion.

In simple terms, Averzion turns rough desert walls into pest-proof surfaces.

Tested and Proven

Field tests conducted in Phoenix and Scottsdale show that scorpions are unable to climb Averzion-treated walls, even after years of weather exposure. Independent testing at the University of Arizona confirmed similar results—zero scorpion traction, 100% repellency.

When paired with Pro Vizion’s precision pest management, it’s one of the few systems that actually addresses the problem at its root.

Why Homeowners Trust the Science

People are tired of guessing, spraying, and hoping. Averzion takes the guesswork out of pest control—it’s science-based, measurable, and effective. And unlike chemicals that fade, it’s a one-time investment that provides visible results every day.
