We no longer live in Arizona!
I heard it takes copious amounts of diatomaceous earth to kill one scorpion. That they would have to basically roll in it for several minutes to do anything. I guess I should research that. I also heard that it takes a "special diatomaceous earth". Not the kind that is readily available. I guess something is better than nothing. I will research where I can get some.
