I just killed a scorpion in my house. Any suggestions to keep them out? This is a reoccurring problem once the weather gets excessively warm. TIA

I lived in Lincoln parish for 5 years. Never heard of any scorpions there.

I remember a couple of scorpions in the house as a kid and one of the cats brought a small tarantula on the porch one summer lol...this was in the late 80s/early 90s around the Natchitoches/Vernon parish line...

Had them in North Bossier Parish. I had to check my shoes every time before I put them on.

We used to find scorpions in my Aunt's pool in Alexandria.

Burn the house down. Only reasonable option.

Spray your yard and house with Talstar or Demon every few months.

Was at a bachelor party and a scorpion was crawling across the driveway where we were frying fish. I cut his stinger off and ate it. My baws were impressed.

I noticed several while walking around a friends camp at night in Toledo Bend. Sprayed inside and out before we left with Demon. He hasn't had a problem since. That spray is usually good for about 6 months. Hit them a couple times a year and you won't have a problem. FYI, I've also seen them in St Francisville. Most people don't realize they can be found this far south.

I find them occasionally on our property in Lincoln Parish. If you go roll an old log over in the woods, there is a pretty good chance you'll find one.

Grew up in Jackson Parish, killed one in our house. Buddy of mine got stung climbing a tree, he thought he was going to die, lol.
