Why do I still have a scorpion problem in my house after I spray?

PART 1:
Often when homeowners try to treat their scorpion problem, we’ve noticed there are five common mistakes people make. Let’s take a look at what they are and how you can avoid these oversights:
Using the wrong pesticides
Not treating the right areas
Lack of awareness of the signs of scorpion infestation
Being unwilling to consult the experts
Using the wrong pesticides or using ineffective “natural” methods
Did you know that many professional pest control companies in Arizona use products that are restricted use and not available to the public?
One of the main reasons for this is because the insecticides that you can purchase at local stores (for example, Home Depot or Lowe’s) are generic and are not designed to withstand the extreme Arizona temperatures.
Due to the heat and summer weather, these chemicals break down much faster than they were designed to and are often extremely ineffective at controlling and eliminating scorpions. Additionally, most of these generic insecticides are sold throughout the country and are not specifically designed to target scorpions, which are naturally much more resistant to pesticides and other chemicals.
