Diatomaceous earth.....isn't that what they make kitty litter out of? Wouldn't that leed to another problem of all the cats in the neibourhood visiting your yard?

We have no scorpions up here so I have no idea what to do with them except from what I have read.

Caulk every crack and crevasse in your foundation/walls. Block any drainage holes with steel wool. Weather stripping on all doors/windows. If you have a attached garage do the same to all walls/doors inside the garage. Remove all debris from the exterior of the home (wood piles, compost piles, ect.) Cut grass regularly (the lawnmower chops them up). Remove shade plants near your walls along with any bark ground treatment.

Basically stop any point of access and remove any shade/source of water for them.

I'd put out sticky traps along the foundation and in the garage. Black light and a stick sounds like a good idea too.
