That was 20 years ago. We still have lots of scorpions but have found a product that controls them!! Bengal Roach Spray. Once a year we spray the house from top to bottom. We still see a few but they are dead or almost dead. Nothing like before when the exterminator would come out once a week to put out new glue boards. They said they didn't have anything strong enough to kill scorpions. I hope William is better now. We also use a product called Thieves Oil on stings and bites. It works great on Mesquite thorn pricks also. reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799857697301806990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-54181402007482479092013-07-17T07:19:08.252-07:002013-07-17T07:19:08.252-07:00Talk about a heart pounding day!

(Yellow sac spider... aggressive and bites unprovoked and somehow got onto N's carseat and was making a beeline for him. Thank goodness for my 6-yr-old niece screaming and alerting us).Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966555296621723142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-73332069873975531392013-07-14T13:05:17.565-07:002013-07-14T13:05:17.565-07:00I'm glad William is okay!
