Need Help With Scorpions

[Breezy]

Find a farmer. Tempo. The best out there by far. I use it in my blinds as well.

I just recently bought a brick house and we are finding out it has quite a few scorpions in it. I have never had to deal with them so I need some help. So far I have had a pest control company come out and treat the inside and outside with a liquid and granules about six weeks ago. Then I had them come out two weeks ago and dust the attic and weeps holes after I got hit on the shoulder by one that was in a shirt I tried to put one that had been hanging in my closet. To make matter worse the carpet we have in the house is the same color as the scorpions so if they are on the floor you won’t see them. Someone has suggested to me to get an insecticide called Demon and start spraying it around the house. We have a baby on the way and that’s the last thing I want is for her to get stung by one too. My wife got stung on the hand yesterday after getting a box out of a cabinet. So I need so help killing these things.

They sell some spray in a can that works. You sray it around the base boards and you will see them rolling around on the floor afterwards.

I don't remember what its called but they sell a powder that is ground up sea shells or similar. When they walk over it it cuts there exo~skelleton and dehydrates them = dead scorpion.

I have seen people recently post about scorpions in there house, and think to my self how glad I have never had one in the house or seen any outside.

Well.. I came home last night and found this joker running along the baseboard. I live in the city and dont even have any bushes or wood piles around my house to attract them. Hope this is the last one I find. You can see my dog did his part by shedding massive amounts of hair to help slow the scorp down.

Diatomaceous earth or calcium bentonite. It works well on fleas in the house but I can't speak to its effectiveness on scorpions.

Thats about the size of the one that got me on my shoulder man they hurt.

I can't even imagine finding 10-15 per week!!

We occassionally see them in our lodge at the ranch, but a box of bug foggers seems to do the trick (in house and attic), as everything is dead when we come back.

I hate scorpions and spiders.

Diatomaceous earth I think it's called. I used to use that around the tent when I did a lot of camping.

I had a big problem with scorpions in my blinds, but I wasn't really excited to sit in there for hours on end breathing in those chemicals. I had a lot of success with the sticky traps for scorpions. If you have a baby on the way, I wouldn't be spraying anything.

Good luck.

DE will definitly work, but they have to come in contact with it.

We sprinkle it around the outside of the house, kills fleas and scorpions just fine without being a chemical.

If you buy food grade you can eat it and de worm yourself.

We use Demon WP along all base boards inside the house. In the attic, after turning off the air conditioner, I spray all around the air conditioner plenum runs and pipes running to the different rooms. Scorpions will get into the air conditioning plenums, and/or pipe runs and drop out of the air conditioning vents. We designed our country house so that none of our vents are over beds.

The Demon WP leaves a residue when it dries. When the scorpions get into the residue, viola' ... they will die pretty quick. Good luck with whatever you use. God bless.
