I hate Scorpions

[Stan R]

These lights that you so speak of.....Where did you find them? Sounds like a good investment. I too hate the crap outta scorps.

www.blacklight.com I googled it

Kill them all.

I have lived in the same house for 10 years and never had any until this summer. I have killed about 15. Luckily I've never been stung.

I've never been stung and glad I haven't. Sorry to hear this!!!

Buy some demon wp or cy-kick cs. Spray both inside and outside. This is some good stuff that works.

When you do get stung, put some moistened Copenhagen on the sting and hold it on there untill the stinging subsides. Doesn't take long. Also works with wasp and bee stings. Not so much for rattle bug bites.

I saw a pic of someone holding one on fb last night....I think it was Skinny if I remember right!

Yep. They are plentiful out here at the ranch.



I had a biggun as a pet in college...kinda like the little dudes for what they are. Ever seen one under ultraviolet light??? They glow!!!

When our rancher purchased another of the neighboring properties last year. The property had a nice sized 3 bedroom house on it. It had not been lived in for almost a year when he bought it. It was infested with scorpions. We ended up killing almost 20 in the empty garage the first hour we were there. He bought some of that Demon WP at the local Feed Store and sprayed the house pretty heavy twice. That seemed to have taken care of the problem. We have not seen a scorpion inside the house since we sprayed.

Two of my wife's cats were playing with one in the living room the other nights. First one I have ever seen in the house in the 16 or 17 years I have lived here. Hot dry weather must be driving them inside.

Russ they must becoming more common in the area. We were setting up a stand on our place back in march and killed one right were we were working.

They are coming out of the wood work around hear. I don't understand them or Wasps?

If your tounge is getting numb after you get stung then you likely have a mild allergy to the sting. I would suggest that if you get stung again to take a benadryl to keep the histamine release in check. The last thing you want is to have a huge anaphylactic reaction, major swelling and airway obstruction! Seriously, the numb tounge thing should NOT be overlooked here - it could easily turn into a life threatening situation.

Not to long ago I got one in my shirt sleeve somehow and it go me six times before I got It. My whole face went numb. I put wet tabacco on the stings right away and it pulled the poison out. Benedryl works good, but I'm allergic to it. As said above, don't play around with it if you are going numb.

When we first moved into the house here in Pipe Creek, there was one in my son's room. He was just born, a week old or so, but not sleeping in this room regardless, but I was putting his crib together. When I moved the mattress, I stepped right on top of it. Ball of the foot.

Stung me back in June. Foot is still sore from it. I've heard meat tenderizer would work to cure the pain. also making a paste of cigarette tobacco and water, or aloe vera?

All I know is I'm tired of pain in my foot when I walk.
