Stanley Tapes should send you some money for showing their product name!!!!
Good job Susan. Keep up the good work. Scorpion eradification at resorts is a win-win solution.

Holy cow, you need to keep this under your belt before some tree hugger from PETA finds out you are abusing the Native species. Save a few in case
they decide to have a "Sit In".

We had a few too
First few years while building the house, we had just a few. That few was enough to freak me out. We followed this helpful paper. Turns out that the
little buggers were hanging out by the garbage cans and water hose! Just thought this info may benefit you folks there.
Remove all harborages such as: trash, logs, boards,
stones, bricks and other objects from around the
building.
By managing the scorpion food source, you will
manage the scorpion population. crickets, spiders, ants and other insects

But..but...what IF it was bunny rabbits or kittens?
Scorpions want to be loved, too.

Maybe start a new business.
Ship them to China or put them on a Mulege menu somewhere as a brand new Baja delicacy.
Heard they are delicious deep fried.
Or... how does Tacos d'Alacran sound.

If someone calls me a "tree hugger" I take it as a complement, but then again I am a Pagan.

Yea, when critters invade my home, yard etc. they're in trouble. Tree's? Would rather hug a tree than jump stumps. But, timber cutting is way better
than forest fires and timber cutting provides jobs.

I'm sorry to report I missed that BBQ, Tony.
But I took this opportunity to learn a bit about how to fix scorpion.
They say scorpion has a woody taste and is best served with stingers, poison sac and tail removed. The pincers are used as toothpicks. Do not eat
the tail as it tastes like (heaven forbid!) some kinda dung beetle. You should not eat scorpion if you are allergic to dust.
And finally, Tony, should you be cutting down on your fried food these days.... for the price of a beer should we happen to meet, I can supply you
with healthy recipes for scorpion soup and/or marinated scorpion over endive. Yum!

Best served, eh? Have to think if the stingers and poison sacks are not removed, it could portend a trip to the hospital. That said, many places in
the world look at insects as a delicacy. Or maybe just an abundant source of protein.
While I might acknowledge that scorpions may have a place in mother nature's grand plan, I personally cannot conjure up any sort of situation where
man and scorpion achieve symbiosis.

I googled "man and scorpion" and found this. Crazy old man!
One morning, after he had finished his meditation, the old man opened his eyes and saw a scorpion floating helplessly in the water. As the scorpion
was washed closer to the tree, the old man quickly stretched himself out on one of the long roots that branched out into the river and reached out to
rescue the drowning creature. As soon as he touched it, the scorpion stung him. Instinctively the man withdrew his hand. A minute later, after he had
regained his balance, he stretched himself out again on the roots to save the scorpion. This time the scorpion stung him so badly with its poisonous
tail that his hand became swollen and bloody and his face contorted with pain.
At that moment, a passerby saw the old man stretched out on the roots struggling with the scorpion and shouted: "Hey, stupid old man, what's wrong
with you? Only a fool would risk his life for the sake of an ugly, evil creature. Don't you know you could kill yourself trying to save that
ungrateful scorpion?"
The old man turned his head. Looking into the stranger's eyes he said calmly, "My friend, just because it is the scorpion's nature to sting, that does
not change my nature to save."
