The evening one crawled on me then stung me on my finger, that did it for me, I bombed my house 2X that week, that doesn't kill them BTW, it just makes them sick. I do NOT like chemicals either, but this was war. <br /><br />I purchased a 51 LED blacklight flashlight, these critters light up like you wouldn't believe under UV light. I would go out and search around the house in about a 15-20 foot radius, I killed each and every scorpion I could find. Each one can live several years, spawning lots of baby scorpions in the process. <br /><br />A bit extreme? Yes, will I continue? Yes. Their stings HURT! Wanna talk about a "localized reaction"? That's what happened after I got stung, and it resulted in lots of dead scorpions.<br /><br />Oh, I'm also feeling the same way about a new invasion, the kissing bugs, they feed on you at night, they have been particularly bad this year because of the rain.<br /><br />WrethaWrethaOffGridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941116263529261885noreply@blogger.com
