My wife came in the other night complaining that something in her car/suv bit her foot. I passed it off as an ant. She stated it was a lil more painful than an ant.
yesterday eve she informed me that she again felt something crawling on her foot only to look down and see it was a scorpion. shook it off and with the car still underway way able to see it scurry behind dash and door. Got home and looked with no signs of it.
How would you go about getting this bug out. We know that its been in there for a few days now. Thought about fogging the car but really dont want a new vehicle smelling like raid from here on out.
She put a sticky board on the floorboard last night but only caught herself this moring. LOL
Life journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved state.
But rather skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy carp what a ride!"

I don't think it would attack like that unless its protecting its nest. Could be a hundred babies up in there. Sell it. Sell the car.

I'd put out more stick traps. The scorpion is bound to get on one sooner or later.

Leave a cat in the car overnight.
Stress less, relax more. Go fishing.

When I moved in my home we had baby scorpions throughout the house. The odorless bomb works very well. About 45 years ago at a Cub Scout camp out I had a scorpion sleep with me. It crawled in my sleeping back and stung me 3 or 4 times on the stomach. I couldn’t tell what was sticking me in the stomach. So I took my trusty metal flashlight and discovered it was a scorpion. Those suckers sting!

You need sticky traps...I'd line the floor board area with a few of them overnight.

Our place in Rayburn Country has it share of Scorpions. She got stung in bed one night by one. I had to get a ladder use blue tape and tape around the edges of the AC vent she swore they were fall from the ceiling around the AC vent.
If she got stung in her car I wouldn’t be on here right now. I’d be at the Cadillac dealer getting her a new SUV to replace the one she refuses to drive anymore.
Thanks, Billy

Put a live cricket or grasshopper in the middle of a sticky trap.

Id spend some time with a shop vac, do the bomb, shop vac some more.
Or come trade it in to me and put momma in a truck. Scorpions know better than to mess with a chick that drives a truck.

Wife took her car in for an oil change. Guy pulled the air filter and somehow a rat had moved in. Evidently it shot out when they opened the filter door. Wife said it cleared out the shop. 
ALL HAIL TRUMP
