Nope not exaggerating at all.....My Fiance put her foot next to (I wasn't going near it!) it and it was 3/4 the size of her foot and she wears an 8 .......That's what makes me so freaked out and ready to soak the yard with spray because I didn't think I would see them that large Shes more worried than me because she knows nothing about them and now just assumes that's the size they'll all be after I was talking them down as just little tiny things we may see a few of lol

It wasn't your standard bark scorpion then. The big ones of those get to maybe 3". It had to have been a Giant Hairy Scorpion, which I've (fortunately!!) never seen.

Well I suppose that's true!

What I meant is they are less venomous. Of all the scorpions in AZ, the bark scorpion is supposed to have the worst sting, and that's definitely not what you saw.

Diatomaceous Earth is great for indoor and outdoor use as well. You can even eat it or your pets can and its won't harm either. All pests and the like won't be around after using it. Get a 25 pound bag and go crazy. It eats them from the inside out. It's all organic. Oh, I also used to sell Pest Ban products so I am somewhat familiar.
