Most chemicals are effective only if sprayed directly on the scorpion. Nevertheless, regular pest control service can dramatically reduce scorpion visits by eliminating other bugs that form the scorpions' food supply. I agree that cats are helpful. They don't always kill the scorpions (depends on the cat), but they'll almost always see them before you and therefore give you some warning that a scorpion is paying you a visit.

If a cat is stung by a scorpion could he still die from it like a human could? I have a cat and would probably bring him with me if I moved to PHX and I never realized cats were good for killing scorpions.

Cats have absolutely no reaction to scorpion stings. That's one reason people have them around. They like to kill/eat/play with the scorpions and there's no consequence to the cat at all.

The typical scorpion sting is not any more painful than a bee sting. There are some varieties that have move powerful venom but they are not the norm.
A cat will react to a scorpion sting the same as a human, the chemistry is the same for both. |

Please tell me you still think the scorpion sting of a Az bark is no more painful than a bee sting when you get tagged by one.

Does this mean that I don't have to worry about my gecko chasing, palmetto bug catching Florida cat chasing AZ scorpions if we move to AZ? He can safely switch his prey of choice?
