Scorpion Awareness Week
A Proposed Pest Science Group Public Education Initiative
Scorpion Awareness Week is an initiative being considered by Pest Science Group to advance public understanding of scorpion biology, behavior, residential risks, and practical prevention strategies.
The concept is intended to bring greater awareness to the importance of understanding scorpions, reducing preventable encounters, and applying evidence-informed approaches to residential protection.
PSG is exploring April 2027 as a potential inaugural awareness week, aligning public education with the seasonal increase in scorpion activity across Arizona and the Southwest.
The scope, educational activities, and timing of the initiative remain under consideration.
Additional information will be shared as the concept develops.
