Maybe they're eating the scorpions.

One charged at me on my outside patio. And I found another crawling on the wall outside, after that, I called the pest control company.

Ewwww.....we've found a bunch already too. Luckily none have charged at me....LOL. But we've found them INSIDE the house. I can't afford to call in a pest control company, does anyone know the best way to get rid of em? Is there a spray or trap?

We normally keep them under control with the Ortho Home defense but have gotten really laxed about spraying so we are paying the price.

ALL of mine have been in the house, one in bed with the daughter. Ouch!!

I used to use spray ortho, but I also havent kept the treatments up. Luckily I only found a dead one in the laundry room. But he had to get there somehow.

We don't see many inside here, but a shoe suffices when we do spot one.

In the year I have been living in the place I've never had an issue with critters inside, but 2 months ago I found one inside my 2nd story apartment.

Haven't a clue how it got inside... current theory is either myself or maintenance inadvertently brought it in through the door from outside somehow.

Picked it up by the tail with needlenose pliers and tossed it outside.
