Scorpion problem in my house...

[devlinboy]

you know what i hear takes care of scorpions?


camel spiders. you should get a couple.

Camel spiders...i had a guy in my unit who was obsessed with those things. That might even be him in the pic lol. I swear everytime i saw him he was chasing after them. Biggest bug i have ever seen (nowhere near as big as the pic). We had a scorpion infestation in our camp near Balad too. It sucked. It was easy to laugh at people who would run away scared at first..but when one was in my rattle i felt my manhood reach my tonsils.

so, Nick....... can you recommend any good exterminators? First I've seen in ~8 years living here.

This guy was probably around 2-3 inches in body. Scared the bejeezus out of me.

Now I have to go sleep in the room I just killed it in. Not a peaceful, easy feeling.

I haven't seen one, and I hope I don't have to. But of course, now that I've said that I will have one beside me. Maybe my cats will keep em at bay.

Found this guy at my front door. Trying to pass himself off as the Avon lady. I wasn't fooled.

Caught him to take this shot then let him go away from the house. I think these guys are col...but it is no fun to get stung by them.

Been there.

Maybe you shouldn't live in the desert Mesa...

It's been awhile...I know. So lately it's been 100 degree plus weather we've been having here in AZ...and guess who's baaaaaaaaaaaaack? That's right, live and in my backyard (not in my house luckily) the Scorpions! Dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuun. I killed 6 around the perimeter of my house last night and I am kicking myself for not videotaping this...I killed a big mother____er with a ____ ton of larva on it's back. I mass murdered what seemed like ten wittle scorpions.

I realize this doesn't come across as particularly sympathetic but...video tape that ____.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

You're actually killing them? Seriously? I mean, if it were cockroaches or something....


....but scorpions?

 

[devilof76]

I'd hate for my kids to have to deal with roaches. Hell, my niece begs me to kill the tiniest spiders for her, but if scorpions came near my children...and if there were ever an insect I respected besides dragonflies, fireflies and crickets...it would be scorpions...I'd kill every mother____ing last one of them.

No joke.

I know. It's hard to hold a black light, a knife, not get stung, and my phone (camera).

What am I supposed to do, hug them? They're a pest in/around a home. Sorry Lar'ja Thwei but you gotta protect your family son!

I only find around 10 a year in my house, I guess if there were thousands of them I'd feel the same as you though.


They're so cute

i've probably said this before, but i'd move. seriously. or find some predator that preys on scorpions and put it in your backyard.

Well, I hope there isn't thousands of them...at least that I can't see.

Oddly enough I am coming back to Minnesota this February to see if I can handle the cold ass weather you Canadians have. Who knows Craw, we could be friends in RL.
