It’s that time of year again.
I keep telling the husband to start his own blog about this, so we can keep counts and whatnot. He’s anti-blog, so for now it will be here.
We were going out for a walk tonight and discovered a youngish scorpion on the floor in our front entryway coat closet. It must’ve come in the front door, which we’ve never seen happen before as the door seems pretty tight. We put it in a glass container with some Diatomaceous Earth to see how long it takes to kill it. (Experiment 1, “kill” #1)
Then we went out for our night time hunt. Current tools: metal tongs and UV light. Not very sophisticated but it works. In the future he would like to get a torch and maybe set a burlap fabric trap for them. We’ll see.
It’s a bit cool out tonight but we managed to find and kill 3 more. They were fairly big.
Total count for today: 4
