That sounds bout right.

 

Kinda like how letting an engine idle for hours causes more wear than driving on the highway. I'm assuming less blood circulation.

I have this strong urge to get more.............. Haha

 

Good luck to this guy:

 

No rub? cold ac sold it.

 

Those 35-foot rims though.

 

Holy crap, 35” rims!

Edit: correction 35’ rims!!

 

I found my first “welcome to arizona” scorpions last night while outside with my dog. Signed up for pest control this morning because this Virginia boy ain’t fucking around with those.

 

Still beats ticks.

 

Born and raised here. I've never seen on at my house. My cabin I get them all the time. They're not that bad of they get you. Bigger they are the safer they are.

This 1000000%. I fuckin hate ticks.

 

Yup i normally kill them with fire.

Few weeks ago my lady was moving the bed to the other side of the room and got stung twice on her leg from pushing into the bed to move it lol. safe to say we check the bed every night now haha

 

Another friend recommended a torch as well. Gonna MAP the shit out of the ones I see now.

 

You can also make a perimeter out of diatomaceous earth...

 

yep! most effective way ive found. Also like to use pliers and see how many i can get some times. but torch is an instant kill normally

 

this is what works best. will kill them shortly after they get inside the house.

 

I love my SP6's They were so handy the other night trying to find everyone at camp.

 

Dude at camp! That was fucking nuts how she knew there was one around.

 

The house I'm at had a pretty bad scorpion infestation when I first moved in like 7 or 8 years ago. I'd find two or three per day inside the house and dozens out around the yard. Biggest improvement was eliminating their food source - someone who lived here previously had left a bunch of old rotting baseboard in the backyard right up against the foundation and there were tons of crickets breeding in it. Cleaning up that junk and clearing away any grass from the foundation of the house helped a lot.

DE is a good repellent but it gets washed/blown away pretty easily. Onslaught FastCap is better than what most of the pest guys around here use, and one bottle lasts me like 4 years if I spray ~3 times a year. I spray outdoors around the base of the foundation, doors/windows, and the eaves of the roof. Once a year I'll go around the whole property line too. This + a cheap sprayer is a lot cheaper than paying pest guys to half ass it:

Went from finding 2-3 a day inside the house to maybe 6-8 a year.

 

Yeah, the feeling of a centipede crawling over naked skin ain’t fun either

 

absolutely this - and fire ants and termites, even though those two are sworn enemies.

Have a couple desert spiny lizards which keep the crickets gone so no food for those arachno-stingers
