Scorpion infestation?

Boric acid is highly toxic to pets and humans, so must be applied in places where they will not be able to touch or ingest it.

Diatomaceous earth is not toxic, in fact it can be eaten without causing harm. It is included in feed mixes for various livestock to control parasites, and is also included in some concoctions for human use around digestive health as well.

Better yet is if you can find a combination product that has the diatomaceous earth (DE) combined with Sulfur. I'll go check what company makes what I use.

The product is 'Land and Sea Gold Dust' produced by Enviromate Inc out of Fort Worth but when I went to their website it doesn't appear to be available any more.

You could use soil sulfur (easy to find at garden centers) along with the DE for control.

Good luck!

They also like pine wood chips. I was working in the garden and must have kneeled right on one or two. When I stood up it felt like I had pieces of glass in my leg; the sting hurt so bad!! I had at least three stings and boy did they swell up!! I learned a good lesson though... never kneel in the garden with shorts on!!!
