If scorpions are a regular guest at your place, monthly service is usually where scorpion control in Tempe settles once the first visits are done. It exists because scorpions do not stop arriving: the walls and yards around most Valley homes keep producing them through the warm part of the year.
What each monthly scorpion treatment includes
Scope varies a little by house, but customers describe a consistent routine.
- A reminder the day before, so nobody is surprised.
- Treatment inside and out, with attention to doors, baseboards, the foundation line and wall bases.
- A look for new signs, such as prey insects, fresh gaps or moved materials.
- Other pests you mention, handled on the same trip where that fits.
- A list of the chemicals used, left with you at the visit.
- A word on what Kai saw and anything you can do before the next round.
Products go on according to label directions and away from where children and pets reach, and you get re-entry directions before he leaves.
What changes from month to month is where the attention goes. Warm nights and monsoon weeks put more weight on walls, doors and prey insects. Cooler months lean toward protected spots and any gaps that have opened up.

Monthly scorpion treatment in Tempe compared with other schedules
| Schedule | Fits | Downside |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Active scorpions, kids at home, block walls close to the house | Highest number of visits |
| Every two months | Sightings already low, and one reviewer's arrangement | Longer gaps in warm weather |
| Single visit | A one-time flare-up you want checked | No follow-up pressure |
| Sealing plus service | Repeat indoor sightings | More work up front |
Scorpion yard treatment for walls and gravel can sit on top of a monthly plan for properties where the outside is the main source. If the species in your house is the climbing one, read about bark scorpion control too.

How a monthly scorpion schedule runs from the first call
- You call, describe your sightings and agree on a starting visit and a price with Kai.
- The first visit walks the house and yard, then treats inside and out.
- You get a reminder the day before each later visit, which reviewers mention.
- Each visit repeats treatment where needed and checks what changed.
- Kai leaves the list of chemicals used and mentions anything worth fixing.
- After the warm season, you look at the sightings together and decide whether the schedule stays.
Why does a recurring schedule beat a one-off spray?
Scorpions are hard to reach with product. University of Arizona Extension says they are difficult to manage with pesticides alone, so what regular service buys is repetition. Each visit knocks back prey insects, renews the areas that need it and lets Kai notice what changed since last time. Reviewers back this up. One wrote that monthly service has kept scorpions and other bugs away, and another credits regular monthly visits for a scorpion-free house after a bad start.
Treat those as individual results and not a promise. Your block walls and neighbors' yards matter too.
A plan makes sense when the signs repeat: scorpions indoors more than once a month, crickets gathering at the porch light, a block wall close to bedrooms, or sightings that came back after a single treatment. Homes with young children or older relatives often start sooner, since Extension says stings hit those groups hardest. One scorpion outdoors last August may not call for it.

Year-round scorpion control and the winter question
Warm nights above 70 degrees are prime time, and activity drops off from November through March, according to Extension. Scorpions then cluster in protected spaces instead of leaving, which is why a mild winter week can still bring one out. Many homeowners also deal with other pests in those months. So stopping in November and restarting in April is possible, but it gives up the routine and the record of your property. Talk to Kai before you decide.

What does monthly service leave out, and what does it cost?
Monthly visits do not rebuild anything. Plan separately for:
- Sealing and door work beyond what a visit covers.
- Capping or stuccoing block walls, which is masonry.
- Removing rocks, wood or debris stacked against the house.
- Medical advice, which belongs to Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222.
Monthly scorpion pricing depends on home size, yard size, how much wall is involved, pests covered and travel distance. Kai sets a figure with you on the phone or at the first visit. One long-time customer wrote that their rates have not been raised, and Google's listing describes fair pricing.
On a Tempe lot, the biggest variables are wall length, pool and planting, and whether interior rooms are covered every time. Weed work is separate and changes the figure. So does a casita or a second story. Ask what an extra trip between visits costs and whether anything shifts in winter. Then compare the yearly total with a one-off visit instead of looking at the per-visit figure alone, because twelve small visits add up.
Arizona's paper trail for every treatment
A recurring plan produces a lot of paperwork, and Arizona sets what goes on it. A.A.C. R3-8-306 says that immediately after an application, the applicator must give the customer written notice of the site treated, the date, the target pest, the product's trade name and the amount applied. The notice can be electronic. Under R3-8-503, the business keeps its service records for three years.
On a monthly plan from any company, keep those notices in one folder. A year of them shows what went where, which helps Poison Help or a vet if you ever need to call. Weed control has its own license category, so confirm that one separately.

Monthly Scorpion Treatment: common questions
Why does scorpion control work better on a monthly schedule?
Because the pressure on a home never really stops. Scorpions keep moving out of block walls and yards, and insects keep arriving, so a single visit fades. Regular service renews treatment before that happens and gives Kai repeated looks at the same property. University of Arizona Extension says pesticides alone struggle with scorpions, so visits also check for new gaps and shelter.
Does the monthly service also cover the bugs scorpions eat?
Yes, that is part of why it helps. Crickets, cockroaches and other insects are their food, and customers report Kai treats general pests on monthly visits, inside and out. Extension says removing food helps but will not remove scorpions by itself. Think of it as one lever. Tell him what else you are seeing so he can plan for it.
Should monthly treatment continue through the winter?
For most Tempe homes, yes, or at least talk it over before stopping. Extension says bark scorpions are less active from November through March, but they do not leave. They cluster in protected spaces and return as nights warm. Winter is also when other pests move in. Kai can tell you whether a lighter schedule suits your property.
Is every-other-month service an option?
It may be. One customer reports having service every two months, though most reviewers mention monthly visits. For a home with active scorpions, monthly is usually the stronger choice in the warm months. If your sightings have dropped, ask Kai whether a longer gap would work for your property. He can say what he would do in your place.
Am I locked into a contract?
Ask Kai directly, because terms are agreed with him and not published here. One Yelp reviewer described Kekoa as having no long-term contract, which is that customer's experience and not a stated policy. Before starting, ask how to pause or cancel and what notice he needs. A one-person business can answer that plainly on the first call.
