We currently have a bottle of "High Yield 38 Plus." The Permethrin content is 38%. Since we have this product, do you think it would be effective against scorpions? What other suggestion?
While you could use the Hi Yield 38 Plus for scorpion control, a better option would be something that sits on the surface better and lasts longer. Cy Kick CS and Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion spray are the two best options for scorpion control. Both products are easy to mix with water and spray around the home. Not only will they kill scorpions, but will also kill all the other insects present around your home that they are feeding on. Since scorpions have thicker skin, you will need to spray a wider barrier around your home. Spray 2-3 feet up on the side and a minimum of 6 feet out on the ground. Make sure to also spray other entry points of the home like where wires/pipes enter the house, window frames and door frames.
