    Scorpions in my house

    I am finding several of these a week in my house now with all the rains in my area. Anyone know a solution? This one as the rest of them, has met its early demise...RIP little brown bastard.

    Google "Texas scorpions in houses" click on the first link. It tells you all about them and at the bottom it tells you some tips on keeping them away. I can't copy and paste or I would have posted the link here.

    No keyboard. I post only from my iPhone and I haven't updated it so no copy and paste.

    Lost the laptop a while back in the break up with the ex and have been more worried about buying food than a computer lol. Everyone of my posts has been from my phone tho. I've gotten used to it. I can only imagine how many posts I would have by now if I had a computer tho.

    regarding Australia I used to live there and never saw any scorpions, but I do recall some nasty looking spiders urgh yuck just drop a dumbell on them..

    Your probably more of a scorpion expert than me but from what I recall, smaller the claws the more venom they have, so the ones with the huge claws are usually not as bad. Looking at this one, I wouldn't like to find out haha.

    From what google says the Texas scorpions sting will only slightly irritate humans but anyone stung should pay close attention to side effects such as trouble breathing.

    I would freak out.

    Here on the east we get those stink-bugs. They are able to get through the screens and the best part is when you crush them they let off a awful odor , hens the name.

    I couldn't live where those damn things are.... It's bad enough living with the brown recluse and black widow spiders..... But atleast the spiders stick to dark damp places and not warm dry houses. My basement is another story.....

    I couldn't imagine living in a area with those little bastards. The worst we got around here is the neighborhood skunk and a few coyotes that get lost from the forest preserve and end up in your backyard.

    you need to learn from bear grylls and start eating them, they are a great source of protein and energy. Just cut off the stinger and pop them in.

    CBGB, bro great advice, it is cricket season right now so I am on it.

    Venom, I have a lot of protien already why dont you give my your addy and let me hook you up with all the protien you need kid? lol

    I have literally found 10 or 11 in three weeks. I just moved into the place, 350k, last thing I can do is move. One of the locals said to put moth balls around the house. it will stink for a few days but get rid of them?? Anyone have input on that?
