Jared's Army...
So Jared has really been uneasy about our scorpion epidemic. He bought some scorpion spray that "kills on contact," borrowed a black light, and went scorpion hunting every other night. The only thing was that the spray didn't kill the scorpions... it only paralyzed them for 10 seconds and then they'd be on their way again. Jared was not a fan! So he decided to purchase a blow torch to do the job. Let's just say that was more successful than the spray! None of the exterminating companies can really guarantee that they'll kill the scorpions off because no spray does - they just try to get rid of all the pests that they feed off of. Again, Jared wasn't impressed. So he took it upon himself to do some research. Geckos LOVE to eat scorpions supposedly and any other pests (cockroaches, spiders, etc). So, he went and purchased an army of geckos, 50 to be exact, and set them loose around the perimeter of the house - especially where he'd seen the scorpions when he went hunting. Happy feasting Geckos!

Gecko's - great idea! They really do work! When I lived in Scorpion Heaven (Thatcher) I killed ours with AquaNet - ha ha that stuff will kill anyone/thing! You might want to try a cheap can of spray hairspray! GOOD LUCK TO JARED'S ARMY! Ha ha!
That is awesome. I hope they have a long and prosperous hunt. :)
i hear geckos are great at keeping critters away, hope it works
Hairspray, huh? That is awesome! Did Garrett like the gecko's?
