They seem to be very active this year. I am normally sprayed every 4 - 6 months. Last time was then end of November. We have seen 6 in the last two months. | -------------------Re: Scorpions!!!

Black light flashlight works to spot them. At least you don't have boa constrictors at your door and in the drain pipes as I have had in the past! | -------------------Re: Scorpions!!!

At the hardware store near the square the have a spray bottle that has a large scorpion on the label. We have sprayed the door thresholds and window slides with that but if you leave anything on the ground then bring it in they could be hitching rides. | -------------------Re: Scorpions!!!

There really is not much you can do about scorpions in this area and climate. Even if you spray every 6 months that does not guarantee you will be scorpion free. I have been living here a while and have been in Mexico many times and you just have to be careful i.e. hanging wet towels inside, leaving clothes on the floor, not watching where you are walking at night, check clothes prior to putting them on, grabbing items without checking around the area, just stuff like that .etc. I know it is difficult to get used to but it is similar to areas in the US like Arizona, New Mexico , Texas etc. Just stay vigilante and enjoy the rest of your stay in this lovely area. Good Luck! | -------------------Re: Scorpions!!!

I don't know why but I have great results (i.e. no scorpions) by using the lavender scented floor cleaner Fabuloso. I clean all the floor area with it and then throw the water out on the gravel leading to the front gate. I have had no scorpions this year, or last year, or the year before. I hope this works for you as well!

Scorpions are like cockroaches they hang out in dark recesses. So in addition to doing the doors and thresholds do under the sinks in the back of closets under furniture etc. and be careful | -------------------Re: Scorpions!!!
