Scorpion activity in the Phoenix metro area, 1999-2025

For more than two decades, seasonal field counts, service records, and homeowner reports across greater Phoenix have been gathered into a single long-run picture: how bark scorpion activity moves with heat, growth, and the built edge of the desert. It is the work Pest Science Group exists to share.

Georgia Clubb

Business Director & Co-Founder · The visionary behind the program

A third-generation Arizonan, Georgia Clubb co-founded Seal Out Scorpions and directs the program that turns years of desert field experience into a public record of how scorpions behave around Arizona homes.

Her focus is the resident's side of the science. She makes sure the questions the team studies are the ones families actually live with: where scorpions get in, when activity peaks, and what genuinely keeps a home sealed.

Would a resident understand it, trust it, and know what to do next?

How we work

Four commitments behind every finding.

01

Science informed

We lead with evidence, explain the why, and make expertise genuinely useful, not decorative.

02

Systems based

A home is a system. We study relationships and root causes, not isolated symptoms.

03

Resident focused

Every finding is written to be understood, trusted, and acted on by the people who live with it.

04

Environment minded

We weigh effective protection against responsible, proportionate ecological choices.

1999-2025
