Will Talstar PL Granules kill my scorpion problem?

I have scorpions and was told by a farmer to try Talstar PL granules. The scorpions are all around the perimeter of my home and they get inside the house. I dread the spring and summer thanks to these little house mates.

Answer:

Talstar PL Granules can be used for scorpions following the instructions on the product label:  To ensure optimum control, treat the building perimeter at dusk to prevent outdoor scorpions from entering the building. Scorpions reside hidden in cracks and voids during the day and are active at night at temperatures above 77ºF/25ºC. Resting areas can be identified at night using a blacklight (UV bulb) as scorpions will fluoresce. These areas should also be treated. Prior to treatment, to increase treatment efficacy, remove trash, debris, or firewood that scorpions may use as resting sites We also have a great guide here for Scorpion Control with non chemical recommendations.
