Scorpions must go, the question is how...

[ROFL BOX 6650]

Came across a Kissing Bug this PM, dropped it in the Scorp jug.

Apparently nobody in the jug is hungry of the 2 still living.

Grunting one out & look what decides to scoot across the floor?

It paused on the tile long enough for me to hit the sink stopper, then I folded up some tee-pee (before I used it on my bunghole) & pinched it by the tail.

Dropped in the sink so it wouldn't be able to climbed out & I got my tongs & jug.

Another one dropped in the bottle, I think 3 are still alive in there + the new one.

I knew a biology professor emeritus at UT who kept on of those things as a pet. He would take it out of its cage and let it crawl up his arm and under his shirt sleeve. It was probably twice as long as this one.

I have no problem picking up live scorpions, taratulas, snakes, leeches, slugs, or just about anything else that crawls or slithers on God's Earth, but those fucking things evoke a primal revulsion in me that I cannot control. And of course they are fucking everywhere around my house.

New acquisition (single one, 2 pics of it).

Into the jug for you.

2nd in one night, another juggalo.

 

Also nabbed another kissing bug from outside & dropped that in so if a resident wants a late night snack, they can duel it out.

No scorps this trip but did make a new friend.  Previous trip nabbed 3 scorps now my jug has 8, just forgot to post up.

Did you find that or buy it?

Took it off the crap table during our usual game couple of weeks ago.  I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet, but something will come to me. It ought to be good for laugh or a scare.

Only time I remember seeing them en mass was when my parents built their house in Lakeway back in the 90s. Scorpions would hang out on the soffits every night. One of those bastards stung me when I picked up the hose one day and he was chilling on it. I wish you well in your effort to kill those bastards.

The fuckers never seemed to mind me. I've shared tents, cabins, etc with people who were stung repeatedly. Even had one that dropped off a cieling onto my thigh, and just scampered down my leg to the floor.

Saying that means I will wake up in some sort of scorpion cocoon tomorrow.

Pics or it doesn't happen.

Pro tip(just the tip) on scorpions:

-Use Bifenthrin granules(may be labeled under a few different brand names such as Talstar), liberally around the house. Granular because most people don't have the equipment to apply enough volume of a liquid product to take care of a scorpion problem.. 

- Buy a hand duster and use a good pesticide dust like Delta dust or a silica based product like Tri-Die dust(my favorite)and apply dust in any cracks, joints or any openings, such as around A/C pipes and weepholes. 

- an inside crack and crevice treatment using a product like Microcare CS will also help

Read that story earlier. Apparently, they're called fat-tail scorpions and they're some of the most venomous on the planet. Pretty sure some folks are dying from the stings.

you know, sometimes the name doesn't fit...in this case, it 100% does. see pic below

Quote

Their common name is derived from their distinctly fat metasoma, or tail, while the Latin name originates from Greek and means "man killer"

spoilering this because...yeah.
