I double strength on the Demon for scorpions and helps with spiders a little bit Demon is good stuff.

I say Demon too....Just spray around outside of house....

[BuckTag]

The wife calls out the exterminator to spray the inside/outside and they're still around... We moved into our house over a year ago and still finding them.

I built my house about 18 years ago and had them pretty bad up until about ten years ago. Demon is the way to go. Spray around cracks, windows and doors, you will be amazed at how many dead bugs you find.You will eventually get the best of them.

TSC already has the Demon out for sale for spring.

Cykick CS, best I've ever used, get it at swimming pool supply!

This would be my approach

Wood piles are scorpion factories. Do you have any dead trees around? A semi living soft wood tree that has holes in it could be a major source. Spraying the exterior of the house will work but that is like trying to keep the heat out in the summer...it is going to get in. You need to find the source. Used to have frequent scorpions and removed a mostly dead tree. Uprooting it had literally hundreds of scorpions crawling out. Poured some fire starter on the tree and BBQ'd them, haven't had any since.

Cleaning leaves and wood will help plus the spraying. If you have weep holes around atone or brick, the aerosol can of Bengal spray is great. It has 200× more active ingredient than other similar sprays.

We have them bad too, While Demon did cut them way back we were still seeing them in the house. We got a exterminator that came every 3 months and dusted the attic, and sprayed the inside and outside of the house. Very very seldom do we see them anymore.

I agree with the Demon. We live by the lake and them stinging lizards are everywhere. Demon kills them.

They will live in your attic, crawl through the ceiling junction boxes and fall on your bed, at night!!!. It took awhile to figure this out, but saw with my own eyes. I took every light fixture and ceiling fan down to seal up the jboxes. Now we get an occasional scorpion, usually when we bring stuff in from the attic or garage. Demon is great stuff to spray as mentioned above and also you should fill your brick weep-holes around your house with copperwool to keep scorpions out and other bugs that scorpions are feeding on.

Demon is definitely the way to go. It takes out everything, spider, scorpions, cockroaches, ants, etc. We had a feed room overun with cockroaches, sprayed that stuff in and around it, looked like a war scene, those suckers slowly crawling out and flipping over dead within 5 minutes. You can buy it locally or off ebay. Comes in powder packets.

I just have this twitch in my neck I cant get rid of now.

these two product is what did it for me.

Cyper WP is a generic of Demon and is used outside due to residue

Talstar P is sprayed along base boards and around plumbing etc. It does not leave a visible residue.

This and a couple of black light flashlights to hunt them outside with has taken us from 10-12 per week in the house to only 3 all last summer.

I use the same thing ( Suspend SC) that I was paying a pest control company to spray every 90 days. The receipts that I had from them for 2 years had the same thing every time they sprayed. I bought it on line and got rid of a 75.00 quarterly bill. We still see scorpions every now and then, but this stuff does a good job.
