I have a moderate scorpion problem, a new born and a two year old. We had our house sealed from the inside and regular pest service and are still finding scorpions. We cancelled our pest control service and have noticed more bugs around the property. I would like to start doing the pest control my self. My question is, what can I use that is going to kill the scorpions and other critters?? I don’t want to have to buy multiple chemicals!
I’m not sure what you mean by “multiple chemicals” but if you review our SCORPION CONTROL article, you’ll see we recommend using several. To me, this would be considered “multiple”. But for most pests, using a combination of different products is required andyway and scorpions are no different. This is largely due to the fact that you need to use different formulations for different areas in and around the home.
So to start the process, you’ll want to apply a band of XEMPT GRANULES around the yard. Granules are a slow release formulation designed to be used on turf, flower beds, etc. outside the home. They’ll work on all pests and help to keep ants, crickets, roaches and basically anything off the area treated. Try to treat as much of your property as you can. The more of a pest free zone you keep, the less likely anything will make it’s way inside.
Next, spray the foundation of the home with XEMPT C. This is super strong outside only concentrate that like the Granules, will work on all pests. Apply this to the exterior of the home once a month.
Now since it’s not practical to spray into wall voids using a liquid formulation, the use of dust is the way to go for these vital areas since scorpions love nesting in cracks and crevices. And the best dust for the job is XEMPT D. It’s odorless and highly desiccating to any insect. It will both kill them and keep them off treated surfaces so very good when it comes to scorpions. And you can inject it using our PEST XJECTORS.
Lastly, setting out some SCORPION TRAPS is suggested. They’ll help by catching scorpions as well as alerting you to problem areas of the home.
In summary, it will take a few different formulations to properly treat for scorpions in and around your home but the good news is all these materials will work on all pests. So if you treating as described above and in our scorpion article, you’ll be able to successfully keep all pests out of your home by doing these procedures on a routine basis.
