Subject: PETA and the Orkin man I got to the airport yesterday and the Orkin guy was there waiting to be escorted into my office. He starts by picking up all those white cardboard glue traps. He asked me to throw away any that I find in the future, just in case he missed picking any up. He relayed that PETA lobbied against the City of SA about using inhumane glue traps… and they won! If he missed any traps, PETA would have his azz. So, no more effective scorpion control for any buildings owned by the City of SA.
Glue traps, according to the Orkin man, are one of the most effective methods of eliminating scorpions. To prove his point, he showed me the ones he picked up and sure enough almost everyone had a scorpion trapped on it. Unfortunately, per PETA, they are indiscriminate killers of mice. The mouse, once trapped, will be left to die a slow agonizing death. So we don't get scorpion control for the sake of being humane to mice.
I mentioned to him that I had seen several recently in and around my house and he ran out to his truck and brought me about 40 of them! Last night I placed one on the floor in our mudroom when I got home from work. I had a little friend stuck this AM when I got up.
