If you could find out the name of it, and where I can find it, that would be great. I need something that is going to keep them out.
My husband uses some chemical that works great. We have to use it every
3-4 months but it really works.

Ok, I'll ask him when he gets home this evening.
Tarantula legs taste great especially if they are toasty and well cooked over an open fire.
You will need to probably use a liquid and granular treatment, use the liquid around your doors, windows and air conditioning to keep them ers from entering or making webs around your house
Deltamethrin will do the job
You can get a pint of Deltamethrin for around $65. 1 pint will make up to 20 gallons.
And if you want to keep them out of the yard, I would use Bifen. It will destroy any Spider or Scorpion wandering in your yard.
I think I got a 25lb bag around $55
I killed a coupla copperheads after our asshole neighbor mowed his yard for the first time all year a week or two ago. Guess where they came from ??
That exact thing happened to me a few weeks ago ... although User had to step on it, because I was barefoot.![]()
BTW, do you still have the spider, mouse? I would have taken it but I didn't see this thread until right now.![]()
I would cook that and eat it, just sprinkle some salt and pepper and you're ready to go.
Triazide also works well for scorpions. You can get it at places like Home Depot.
I've killed at least four or five scorpions in the past three weeks. I really need to buy some chemical to help get rid of them. I had a huge spider building a web on my air hockey table this past week. The spider was huge. I need to get rid of that air hockey table.
I have had recent problems with a lot of frogs in the yard and driveway. I hate those things. Also, a few pigeons have been nesting in the carport. Anyone know how to get rid of them (besides shooting them) and not have them come back?

btw, is that you in your avatar?
I am TERRIFIED of spiders and am Man enough to admit it.I dont give a what people think. Them es scare me to the point where I cannot watch any spider based movie no matter even if it is supposed to be a comedy like 8 legged freaks. The funny thing about me is that I do not like the Tarantulas that are harmless but are really not scared of the harmful spiders like black widows.
Spiders don't bother me but I hate water bugsand b/c they fly I've been told they're virtually impossible to get rid of. They're all over my porch and they get in vents I guess.
my mom is scared less of them. Go get some raid and have a ball. But they can get as big as the size of your fingers.
I was just reading more about them, and your best bet is to spray your yard/house for other bugs (ie, their food source), since scorpions don't clean themselves, chemicals might not always work...but killing off their food source will be very helpful. Also get rid of firewood piles, etc., around your house.
Also, I've read that many people quite enjoy looking for them with a black light (they glow under them) and then frying them with a butane torch. A pair a tongs and a thick shoe might work, too.![]()
And I actually like spiders, snakes...whatever. But scorpions, I'm petrified of those nasty things.![]()
I ran over a snake last night. It was about 5ft. It was crossing the street into someones front yard and I ran that thing over twice. I didn't even check to see if my truck was stained with its guts.
I heard that when scorpions start showing up that a lot of rain is coming. Anyone hear of anything like that?
You have to slam on the brakes right as you go over it ... just rolling over it straight up won't do too much to the bigger ones.![]()
Well, yeah. When I backed up to run over it again, I did it slowly and I heard a pop. It was kind of gross.
Awesome.
Heard this was pretty effective on scorpions:

I need to buy something quick because way too often we're having to step on them and staining the bottom of our chanclas.
That's not a tarantula, that's a ing Black Widow!
Raid doesn't kill those ers, I tried. They will not die!
There's no scorpions here thank God.
