Diatomaceous Earth....is your friend.

A little tidbit about scorpions... they crawl up the side of your house, go into the eves, get in the attic, then come out through light fixtures/ceiling fans. If you tend to get them in your house....go out at night and shine a light up the side of your house....you'll be saying YIKES!

Diatomaceous Earth sprinkled around your house and blown into your attic will help tremendously. Trust me! I never liked chemicals being sprayed "inside" the house for exterminating....but the day after one fell on me in bed and stung me....they could have brought nuclear weapons in and I would have said "Set them off!"

The exterminator knew I didn't like harsh chemicals...he suggested the Diatomaceous Earth and it worked wonderfully.

Has anybody ever heard that a lot of log homes have them? Due to them laying their eggs in the timber that is used.

Aaaaargh....I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread right before bed!

How my kids have avoided being stung is beyond me. We kill about 20 a year in the house.

From my wood pile...

I took a shower with one up at Chalk Bluff ,@ Uvalde. It was extra dry , guess they wanted water. Didnt get me but scared the heck out of the 4 females I was with , not like that,,, wife, mom, daughter , sister

up ther they are more cautious about blister beetles. Kinda surprised me though ,, not many scorpions in Pasadena

Get some Bifen xt. It is a little pricey around $45 but will last a long time. I spray the house quarterly and very seldom do I see any. Good luck.

I have a log home and yes they will fond there way in. We live in the hill country and always kill them around the house. I have been hit so many times that it realy dosn't swell up any more. When I was a kid we would catch them cut their stingers off and play with them.

That explains the dead ones in the light fixtures!!! Thanks for the repellant tip!

I'll catch a live rattler with my hands, but I can't stand the thought of a scorpion biting me!
