Question - My sister-in-law has a scorpion problem in her home she
kills 2-3 daily. Last night she went to bed and around midnight woke up
with her neck stinging she went to the bathroom to see what it was and
it stung her 2 more times it was a scorpion. We were trying to find out
what to do to get rid of them. My e-mail is caci9@hotmail.com any
information would be greatly appreciated.

One of my friends living in El Paso mentioned once that some people
actually placed their bed post legs into buckets of water to prevent the
scorpions from getting into bed.
