Tempo on all the baseboards and under sinks and appliances will take care of them and just about anything else that crawls except ants.

When me and the ole lady were in Thailand they had em for sale to eat. My wife dared me so I bought a paper cone full of fried scorpions.

Before I ate each one I said....."Your little buddy stung me when I was 10 years old, this is payback."

Not back, tasted like fried sawdust so i put a little hot pepper paste on them.....It was like dropping a nuke in my mouth.

Thanks y'all for the great info. One of the dogs the other night saw one crawling across the living room and decided to try to eat it. She didnt like the results either. Quite funny to watch at the time, then when I found out what it was...

Several years back, I had a buddy working in the Kenedy/Karnes City area. He had his girlfriend come down and spend the night with him. The crawled in bed and a few minutes later something "bit" him. They jump up and flip the covers back to see a scorpion. He freaked out and called 911. Dispatched laughed at him and told him to call poison control if it gets worse roflmao

He's an idiot but he does make me laugh

We see about a half dozen a year and half of those are dead because they crawled up inside a light fixture/enclosure.
I learned as a young fella to always turn my boots and shoes upside down and give them a good shake. Same for pants and even bath towels. We've been in our current home 20 years and even though we see them every year no one in my house has been popped by one(knock on wood).

The only time I’ve seen one was in a cabin at lake Bridgeport.

I read that tarantulas kill scorpions. Might turn a few loose in your house and see. You might want to check with the ole lady first, though.

We actually see tarantulas outside the house regularly

Mark, glue boards will help a lot as said and they are relatively cheap. There is a supply house in Dallas area that you can buy a box of 100. Ill look for the name, I found 21 the first year (14 in glue boards and actually saw 7), so for every I you see there may be 2 more crawling around. Put them against the wall under hutches, especially in the rooms you do see them. Bedrooms are a good spot to protect as you spend a lot of time there. Good luck and hope all is well.

We have glue boards but they never seem to catch scorpions. They show up in the bathtub even though I have eveything blocked off. Had one fall off the ceiling one nite onto my chest in bed. Naturally he stung me just as I swatted him. The stings hurt like H..l for a little while but I have had red wasps hurt worse. I set off aerosol bombs twice a year but still get scorpions. I shake out my shoes and pants before I put them on.

Cannot recall seeing so many as I have this year.

Go to tsc, pick up a packet of Demon Xp.
Double it up in a one gallon sprayer.

You can thank me later.
