We have several cats. They do a good job in keeping the mice population
down and we haven't seen any rattlesnakes in several months, but they don't
seem to have any affect on the scorpion population. Or, and this may be the
case, the number of scorpions could be much higher without the cats.

Our best anti-scorpion weapon thus far has been sticky traps. Lots of sticky traps. We catch them behind the fridge and below the head section of the bed as well as closets and other places. This house has seven pocket doors. We have been told that scorpions just love such hideouts.
