[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4048448, member: 26737"] I’d never seen a scorpion outside of a zoo until I was a teen. We were in the open field north of the addition where I grew up (which is now overgrown with McMansions) when someone was digging in the side of draw and found a nest of them. I haven’t seen one in the wild since then, although I know they’re out there. Apparently, they just don’t like the same kind of environment I do. The guy I know who rolled over onto one did a lot of research on scorpions and how to eradicate them. He said the exterminator he eventually hired told him that the ones found in houses were usually found in fairly new houses—they move into the floor ducts during construction because it’s usually cool and most. They’re more difficult to kill with pesticides because, like spiders, they carry their bodies above the poisons, but unlike ants, they aren’t social and don’t groom each other, so they get minimal exposure. He said the exterminator told him they come out at night to hunt, so glue traps near floor registers are fairly effective at eliminating them. [/QUOTE]
