And once you get a colony established on your place or in the house, they are almost impossible to get rid of. By the way, the scorpion did not get away!!
We got a tip the other day to spread garden type diatomaceous earth (not the pool kind that is toxic the garden kind) it is tiny crushed up shells that get into their exoskeleton and absorb internal liquids. They said it is really good for fleas and ticks also. We are trying it so hopefully that works.

Lily is our 11 week old Yorkie so I am afraid she will be overly curious and try to eat or play with the scorpion!!
