Scorpions, they really do glow...

[Honu]

Ditto Bark scorpions are the real deal and are deadly at times and the sting from those I know vary from pretty bad to insane bad as a adult

this link was the one that got me going
found this website had some info that got me staring and then talking to the local supplier I got some more narrowed down results
http://www.pestproducts.com/scorpions.htm

after researching I then found local place to buy and talk to a guy that talks to all the pest people about whats working which I felt has helped so might be worth finding a pest supply place like this


so these links are just quick searches not where I buy

for the tape at lowes/home depot the one brand in a green box ? duck maybe indoor outdoor fiberglass backed tape

these boards work where the tape melts
http://store.pestproducts.com/Produc...rds--Case-72MB
also work for the occasional mouse but they are thin and we put them in the corners going in and out of our pantry and caught a couple with them and in the garage where the carpet tape melts these did not melt cut a corner out of them and put them up against corners I have found works
also cutting of the edge so the glue is up to the edge
these have been a handy purchase and cheap



this
http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/cy...t=Cy-Kick%20CS
or
http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/suspend-sc-p-40.html

use this in the house around all the base boards with a sprayer I put on my back ? its like 2=3 gallons got it at same club made it way quicker than a carry jug ? I look nerdy but can kick out the outside in maybe 15 minutes well worth it
again this was more to keep other food items down seems not to do much to the scorpions ? but cut out the dumb little crickets and pincher bugs we would get which according to the bug place is the main food they eat we did notice a big decrease after a year of spraying this stuff inside and outside in the garage and our yard wall edges it goes pretty quick with that sprayer



the delta dust is what I used in all the household outlets and hard to get to parts with a crusader duster this was also told by the local guy its a good way to get the hidden spots like the outlets take the plates off and dust in around the outlet put the plate back on


I have tried the talstar granules in our gravel area the idea being to get them down to where the bugs live with a small hand spreader



so basically
spray inside outside of all walls with suspend with back sprayer every few months or more if we see them increasing
talstar to cover the area outside like all the gravel garden area
outlets once a year and some other corners where dust won't be disturbed like in the hole where are electrical comes into the kitchen and where the plumbing goes into the wall etc.....
so kinda get the whole thing that way the inside areas the edges and the main areas
there was a reason not to spray the suspend all over ? but I have done it before something about the way it sits on the rocks not as good as talstar ?
http://store.pestproducts.com/Produc...ar-Granules-PL

then the glue boards and tape to stop the ones that are around

again from reading and talking its more about stopping all there food source than trying to kill them with those I have captured I played with them like a small piece of cotton ball with that dust on it see how long it took to kill them ? gave up after a week and flushed the guy suspend sprayed them and seemed to take for ever ?
so don't expect over night this is a long term battle
but again that blue can raid thing for mine at least best I found I basically bought a can of each and trapped ones and tested hahahahah I feel like a evil torture doctor but worth seeing what happens to them !!
but then again kinda a let down on just how tough the buggers are !!!!

this is the one I like
http://www.raidkillsbugs.com/en-us/p...-ant-and-roach
they also have a fast acting flying one that has worked quickly (as in quicker than others) on them but even the commercial products don't work that fast ? sadly they are just tough buggers

again found going out hunting with my flash light and getting em like you do but again my home they run into that space on the outside of the wall near our foundation where it goes up into the house !!! arrgghhhhh hate those buggers


hope it helps ya out some

I can say on Maui I fought off cockroaches and other tropical stuff myself but here in AZ these bark guys suck and just don't die easy !!!

My grandkids (9 and 10) didn't want me to kill a scorpion they found, because it was obviously a female, and had probably 20 baby scorpions on it's back. They said not to do it because "they are a family"! I used some spray on them anyway. The kids have participated in gutting animals, so they aren't squeamish. It was just the babies that got them a little.

Come to think of it, it reminded me of hard core liberals who's first reaction to almost everything is an emotional one. I know the kids aren't liberals, since they abandoned their emotions after a very short period of time.

DE, double sided tape and granules... Got the first 2 but what are these granules you're referring to? Thanks for the recommendations.

I use this in the yard, flowerbeds, bushes, mulch, under decks, etc.: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this around the outside of the house, and around any buildings, sheds, etc.: http://www.amazon.com/zoecon-Mavrik-...vrik+perimeter

I use this inside of the house: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here is an article that may be helpful to you: http://www.epestsupply.com/scorpions.php#.U92Bc_ldUXQ


I hope that helps.

A friend's husband scored big time the other night at their house... He said this wasn't even a big night for them. WTF?!?

**** that, I'd move. That population is firmly entrenched. Probably the ones who hauled ass from your "treated" yard.

This thread has solidified my decision to stay in Colorado. If there is anything like this in CO, don't tell me about it.

Ditto for this guy in Montana.

Meh you guys and your cold weather, I guess y'all have to watch out for polar bears though.

[RancidSumo]

Ditto for this guy in Montana.

I could do Montana. I'm heading up your way in two weeks and the only wild creatures I plan on encountering are trout and, unfortunately, swarms of mosquitos.

Sorry, at first I thought you meant the "Rock You Like a Hurricane" Scorpions.

[AKDoug]

F that... At least I can shoot bears...
