About Scorpions in Georgia
Scorpions in Georgia are usually small, and their sting is typically similar to a bee sting. Even so, finding one in a shoe, a bathtub or a child's room is stressful, and it is best to have the problem addressed.
Scorpions follow their food, so a scorpion problem often points to an insect problem. Treating both is the most effective approach.

How to Identify Scorpions
The most common scorpion in Georgia is the striped bark scorpion, about 2 to 3 inches long, pale yellow to tan with two dark stripes down the back. Scorpions have pincers, a segmented tail with a stinger and glow under ultraviolet (black) light.
Signs You May Have Scorpions
- Scorpions seen indoors, particularly at night
- Scorpions in garages, crawl spaces, basements and woodpiles
- Activity near bathtubs, sinks or drains
- Lots of insects like crickets and roaches, which scorpions eat
- Scorpions found in shoes, clothing or bedding
Why Scorpions Are a Problem in Georgia
Scorpions are nocturnal and hide under bark, rocks, wood and debris during the day. Homes near wooded areas, with woodpiles or with lots of landscape stone give them places to live.
