Visit the original article at http://blogpestcontrol.com/2010/02/scorpion-venom-extermination/.Michael Gurevitz has been featured in a number of recent news reports for his research into practical and useful uses of scorpion venom. His research has found varying types of venom and varying effects based upon the chemical proprieties of the venom.
Jon McCain step out on a limb and called attention to some of the new funds going out of the national government for the sake of economic stimulus. A recent report from our local Phoenix Pest Controller debates the value of thisstimulus money when it comes to researching ants. The report says that 3.5 jobs will be supported at the Arizona schools with this near million of taxpayer’s dollars
Bulwark just got a call from ABC. Bulwark asked me if I had heard about the 300+ scorpions that a lady was reporting in Gilbert AZ to ABC. No ABC didn’t call me on it, but I would love the challenge! That would be the real story… taking a home that has such a large scorpion population and following up in a few months to see what had happened.
ABC proceeded to ask a few questions about why the scorpion population was on the rise here in Phoenix. Scorpion calls are increasing. Some blame the rise on the heat. The heat does make a scorpions life a little more difficult. They need water just like most living creatures. When water is scarce they begin searching. Your home is full of moisture. They can actually feel the moisture in the air that escapes from your home! So yes heat would cause more scorpion activity and more scoprions to move indoors. The other reason they questioned was the cricket population. Crickets are a favorite for scorpions. The moist winter we just had would increase the cricket popluation. Just look at the increase in Phoenix weeds this last winter has produced. Weeds, crickets, and other pests all go hand in hand. , but perhaps that’s because so few offer a real pest control solution to this problem. They are not easy to control, but we can do it. We just interviewed a lady here in the valley about her scorpions and how a previous company had been treating for well over an year and didn’t get rid of them.
