    Scorpion problem! Need some advice!

    So we just bought our first home and getting moved in slowly but surely! One thing I have noticed is that there were a lot of dead scorpions inside the house! I have caulked every crack and crevice that I could find, I am working on getting the outside cleaned of all the leaves and trash but does anyone have any advice on how to get rid scorpions? Any pesticides yall have used that have proved to be good? I have a 9 month old little girl and the last thing I want is for her to get stung by one of those nasty things! Any help would be much appreciated!

        Glue boards catch a bunch and bug bombs seem to work for me.

          +1 on this, just be careful using it indoors, as I've noticed it leaves a residue and could be harmful to your little girl.

              Do a search, several good ones about scorpion solutions on tbh. I use demon wp that I buy at tractor supply. It kills everything, including scorpions and most importantly their food source. Label says people safe... But I still only spray outside as I have a little girl too. Good luck.

                I've been living in the same house for 20+ years! tried a lot of products and professional services! seems like they come back sometime during the year. I don't remember all the product names, during the fall I used demon (I think that's the right name) this spring I'll use a different name and rotate them. That's what works for me, haven't tried using gasoline and matches yet but have considered it a time or two.

                  Gotta remember Demon spray. Hate those little buggers and we seem to have way more than our share.

                        Demon WP use outside around the house when there is no forecast of rain for at least 4-5 days. Couple of times a year.

                            When my parents moved their house in. We sat outside and killed well over a hundred scorpions under their yard light. They were worried about having a bunch come in their house. Some old timers told them to get a bunch of horse apples and place under their house. They did it and have never had any in their house and pretty much any other bug. Not sure why or how, but it seemed to work. That was around 21 yrs. ago. I have also heard about using Demon as well.

                              Yup. Horse apples under the house will also keep snakes out
