A centipede sting makes a scorpion sting feel like an ant bite! They will freaking light you up! I HATE those things. They look like something out of a science fiction movie.
FYI, if you do get stung by a scorpion, immediately put an ice cube on it and hold it there. You may have to hold it on there for 5-10 minutes, but it will take away the pain almost instantly.
When we first moved here, we used to see them all the time and Quinton has been stung 3 times. I used Ortho Home Defense inside and out and have not seen many at all since.
I also have 7 chickens now

Here is the natural way of getting rid of scorpions and other bugs, haven't seen a scorpion since these started showing up in the house. Here's a pic of a small one eating a scorpion, and no thats not my hand, I'm not that brave. Biggest one I've seen was a foot long and I could hear it walking across the tile floor. Now all I need to do is figure out what get's rid of them.

Had a nice sized one on the patio last night. Dogs were jacking with it. Radar the wonder mutt got stung. Seemed not so bothered by it.
We tried to corral it into an "empty" lemonade jug. The tiny bit of lemonade killed it graveyard dead. It was instant death. I don't understand it, but it was a tiny bit of lemonade and it wiped it out.
We've seen our share this summer without getting stung. I hope our luck holds.
