Hate those things... We had about 3 of them in our house this year. One I stepped on with bare feet and got stung! :mad:
.

That sucks. My father-in-law got stung last season in Glamis while we were digging out a sandcar. Later that night we were up on a hill and one walked across my foot. I stopped walking around Glamis barefoot after that.

I found 2 today. One in house one in garage. We sprayed last week so they were dead

I put these down in the corners of all doors at the Havasu house after finding scorpions in the house. We haven't had any in the house for 7+ years.

I was staying at my sister's house in Phoenix. This was probably 1990. It was a little vacation for me so we spent most of the day around the pool. End of day I took of my trunks and left them over the patio furniture to dry out.

In the morning I went to put them back on. Left leg goes in. Wait! What was that? A freaking little Scorpion was in the basket. I am amazed I caught sight of it. I gingerly stepped out of the shorts.

Can you imagine how the rest of my vacation would have been? The emergency room nurses would have had a great day. LOL

I sweep our house once a week with a ultraviolet light.

Took the kids Scorpion hunting last weekend. Found 6 in 20 minutes. 1 about 3.5 inches long. Found a good size tarantula as well. Several geckos in my shed. No rattlers was a plus. Neighbor saw 4 deer in the wash 1 big buck with 3 dos.

If you want to spray yourself, buy a product called cy-kick cs. You can buy it on amazon and it comes in a concentrated bottle. It works really well against scorpions.

Geeze looking there a little scorpion. I've seen hundreds over the years, honestly I don't even bother with them anymore.

Thanks. I spray Scorpion Killer. It comes in a yellow jug at Walmart. Seems to work good. I've found about 10 the past 2 years and only one was alive.

These work really well - in all the corners around the baseboards and inside the garage doors (roll ups and man doors into the house).

Make sure they're the fold up glue boxes (not the flat boards that don't fold up). Otherwise your dog or cat will get stuck on them if they step on them. I had a bird glued to one of the flat boards when my garage door was open and the bird saw the bugs and wanted a meal. I had to free him which wasn't fun but got it done. I don't use flat boards anymore.
