Call PestGuardians in Montana to discuss scorpion control, though most calls trace back to a genuinely different, harmless arachnid, across all 50 cities we cover statewide.
Call (844) 924-1337Nearly every scorpion report in Montana turns out to be a case of mistaken identity, and the creature usually behind the confusion is unique to the region: the windscorpion, also called a solifugid, a large jawed arachnid known for how fast it moves. It shows up in the dry badlands of eastern Montana, near landmarks like Makoshika State Park and the Terry Badlands, and anyone who encounters one outdoors close to Glendive or Miles City tends to assume they've found something dangerous, given its size and speed and the alarming way it looks. In reality, despite the name, a windscorpion isn't a true scorpion at all: it carries no stinger and poses no threat to a person.
True scorpions, on the other hand, have never established a breeding population anywhere in the state. When one genuinely does turn up, it's almost always hitched a ride, arriving by truck along Interstate 90 or Interstate 94 from warmer states like Nevada and Arizona, or packed away in the moving boxes of someone relocating from the Southwest. Extension entomologists at Montana State University occasionally get asked to confirm one of these sightings, but nothing suggests the species has ever taken hold here, and even Makoshika's startling windscorpions, for all their intimidating looks, present no real danger to anyone. Call (844) 924-1337 for scorpion control questions and availability in your part of Montana.
We haven't yet built individual city pages pairing Scorpion Control with a specific Montana city, the way we have for a few other states, so there's no per-city detail to report honestly in this section right now. What you read above is real, Montana-specific research, drawn from the actual conditions that drive demand statewide, not a generic description recycled from another state's page, but it isn't broken down city by city yet.
Call with your city to discuss the pest concern and check local service availability.
As city-level Scorpion Control pages go live for Montana, this section will update to reflect genuine local details the same way it already does for some other states. We'd rather tell you that plainly than invent a city-by-city breakdown that doesn't exist yet.

Call (844) 924-1337Scorpion Control falls under Montana's Pesticide License Program, run through the Department of Agriculture. Structural pest work doesn't get its own standalone license here, it's Category 40 within the state's broader commercial applicator system, lumping industrial, institutional, structural, and health related pest work together under one combined heading. Getting licensed means passing a general core exam plus the category 40 exam, then carrying liability insurance before the state will actually issue anything, and the license itself comes with an $85 fee. Wildlife trapping for species like raccoons runs through a completely separate regulatory system. For the full explanation of how Montana's licensing works, see our Montana coverage page.
Call anyway; we maintain coverage that is not always reflected yet in every city page.
The windscorpion, or solifugid, a fast moving, large jawed arachnid found in eastern Montana's dry badlands around places like Makoshika State Park. Despite the name and intimidating appearance, it isn't a true scorpion at all, has no stinging tail, and is harmless to people, though its speed and size alarm most people who encounter one.
It's worth asking.

Before booking, ask which credentials apply to the proposed work and how to confirm them with the issuing authority.
