Scorpion problem in my house...

[RJMacReady16]

Try some Seven-Dust around your home.

Not that s#$%ty 90's band. The pesticide. I had some weird f#$%ing tree-eating beetles a few years ago and it did the trick. Too late to save my tree, though.....

My Ewoks were pissed, needless to say....

The only thing that bothers me are these nasty things. BLAH!

What the hell is that? That's bleepin' gross.


I.....HATE.....BUGS!

We don't have them around here, but if I saw one outside, I would think it was cool and never kill it. If I found one inside, I would scoop it up in something and take it over to my neighbors and turn it loose.

I find big spiders that sneak in during the summer all the time. I just scoop them up and take them outside. The only thing that bothers me are these nasty things. BLAH!

My father gets these sort of bugs in his basement (where he stays at my sisters place) in Maryland. They're disgusting, and they move fast. He's got sticky traps all over the place and they catch them. It's freaky, because you'll just be sitting on the couch, and you'll see one run across the wall from behind a picture to behind a bookshelf.

He's taken as many precatuions as you can, but these critters make it through. He also lives out in the country with lots of trees around, so that probably has something to do with it.

Me, I couldn't live with the possibility of one of these crawling across me while I slept. Whenever I visit, I sleep upstairs.

Don't move to Ohio then either because we have all kinds of wacky bugs here. Camping when you're younger cures you of that fear. When you lay in your tent and you don't know what's crawling on you......well, you learn what can hurt you and what can't.

Another bug I HATE! They have butt pinchers that can actually cut you!

For the love of God, please stop!

......And that's the reason why I don't go camping. My idea of 'roughing it' is behind the windshield of my car.

Okay, all this time I thought you lived in Australia?

Cheap fix?
Sleep in hammocks and put hairy/hemp rope on beneath doors...

A house centipede.*shudders*

I'm scared of them. Borderline phobia, almost! I can't even kill one! I go weak a the sight of them and would just run away and wait until someone kills them for me! There, I said it!

That's awesome!!

So the kid turned out to be yours too King?...

I know there are the poisonous and non poisonous variety. Which ones are these? Either way they got those claws and of course the stinger.

There are no poisonous Scorpions, they are venomous.



Ohh and if you want to see a scary insect look up Tarantula Hawk.

my cat eats those. i hope they're not bad for her but she hasn't got sick yet. their her favorite. she doesn't bother playing with them first she eats them on sight. in fact i find that after i got a cat i don't see any bugs around my house anymore. she sits in the basement all night in the summer finding spiders and things and killing them. another plus for the cat column.

Bad ass photo there.

Bad ass photo there.

We have Tarantula Hawks around here and I have seen them swoop down, sting it let and then fly off with Tarantula


The sick part is they keep them alive and lay egss in them and then the larva feed of the still living Tarantula.

sticky pads are great for lots of things, but make sure your pets can't get at them, we had a cat years ago that got stuck on one.... well let's just say we almost had to put it down.

what a facking mess that was. i took about 6 months before the cat looked normal again. had to cut 1/2 it's hair off.

Most poisonous bugs have red on them. So she should be fine as long as she stays away from those kid of things.

I used to have a dog who would kill bugs, but rarely did he eat them.

 

[Skiman]

My cat just plays with them, she'll paw them to death and then pounce. I don't think she'll eat them though.
