I have encountered more than my fair share growing up here in TX. I used to manage restaurants and one day while working on a prep list had a 4 inch one walk across my clip board as i was counting. Couldn't get the exterminator there fast enough, LOL
I used to live in Phoenix and just moved to central Texas because I got stationed at Fort Cavazos. There’s also scorpions here that I definitely need to get this.
Man , I hate those little boogers I've been stung 11 times in my life and it feels like fire... Everything here in Texas will either bite you , stick you , sting you or Eat you... They will sure keep you hopping....
@@chriskibodeaux9818 This is the way of everything. Nothing is new under the Sun. Whatever you may think, it benefits him, and stimulates the economy. There has been no “new” inventions from the ground up since George Washington Carver discovered polymers. Nothing is “new.” You can do the same.
News that helps people. This is what America needs, loves, and whoever makes this their format will become the next leader in the industry. Well done on your product sir.
This is great. There are areas in the valley that I could not live in as an epileptic because a scorpion sting was more dangerous to me than “ just achy like the flu” it could actually trigger a series of seizures. Very glad that this young man invented this.😊
This was very informative for me on the basis that I don't live in the desert and I did not know that scorpions would come into people's homes and second that there's a product that can help people who have an issue with them coming into their home.
I’ve lived in Vegas for a total of 6 years and never have I seen a single scorpion not even when I was in a house on the outer fringes of the city. Coyotes for sure. They act like stray dogs.
Guess it all depends on the scorpions point of ingress. For the majority of people it isn’t from climbing the walls, it’s going to be garage doors, poorly sealed entry doors, cracks in the foundation, etc. You also wonder if this is just a smooth elastomeric paint that has been rebranded.
When we lived on 10 acres in San Diego County I got stung twice by scorpions. They were both in my bath towel as the only place for the rack was very close to the floor. I didn't have my glasses on in the shower and didn't see them in the towel. In San Diego County the scorpions are not poisonous (fortunately). The sting was less than that of a red ant bite. But it was just the thought of it. Also I got a quarter size red spot where they stung me that lasted 3 months. If we saw them on a wall, I would take an empty glass jar, put it over the scorpion, pound the wall. The scorpion would fall into the jar and then I would put the lid on quickly. Haven't had any scorpions once we moved to town 24 years ago.
Whenever I was in that area of the country as a truck driver, I would shake out my shoes and boots before putting them on! Those creatures can get EVERYWHERE.
It’s not just in the desert, we’ve had them in our house for years here in southern Oklahoma. When we built our house, we actually killed 24 inside our house in one weekend. That was the record. Apparently, when dirt is disturbed by building a house, they go nuts.
So scorpions eat mainly roaches and crickets here in AZ. So you really have to keep your place bug free, and if you have a lot of scorpions, then you have a lot of bugs in general that you need to eliminate first. Being in Gilbert, he may live near a community that has water, like Val Vista Lakes. There are ALOT of bugs near all that water
I wish slick paint was the solution. Scorpions still need a way in your house, which is often under doors. And they are not usually on your house anyway, they are in the cracks of block walls. Another product that sounds great in theory, but doesnt really do anything at all. Maybe peace of mind if anything. And home depot will sell anything, think about it
They are terrifying and the sting is very unpleasant. The numbness will travel from the bite and slowly move up the bloodstream to the heart until it dissipates. People, like my wife a few weeks ago, after a bite can have an a reaction of eye twitching. It was fun when I moved here and learned there's only one scorpion that poisonous here, only one that will try and come inside, and only one that can climb walls (and hang from ceilings like the one I found one time one the ceiling over my sleeping wife) and that's the Bark Scorpion. I found one crawling in my bed last week.
A lot of people don't know that scorpions migrate underground, and they've been following the same migration routes for centuries. Building homes 20 feet above their routes don't make them change direction. They will simply make their way to the surface to hunt, and they can squeeze between small spaces, so to shimmy their way into your home. And a lot of them are bark scorpions, which are the most dangerous scorpion in AZ. Especially when they're babies. So this product will be a game changer for homeowners here. Just use it along the base of your home and two feet up the sides. Scorpions may still come to the surface, but at least they won't get inside your home.
"Scorpions, don't you just love them?" I sure do! The M808V Main Battle Tank is my favorite! I named mine "Sheila", she's the lady in the tank and she is my friend.
If you have scorpions, you have too many bugs. Clean up the bugs. If you have rats, clean up the food and trash. If you have bed bugs, clean your sheets. Or just paint everything with slick paint and you are good
@@HiThisIsMine My question was more towards those who moved there. I was born and raised in the southeast and drove through Arizona once, it terrified me honestly. Was truly curious.
Not having to freeze your behind off every winter while scraping your car off. True, there are about four months in PHX where you just don't want to go outside much, but that could be said for just about every city for whatever reason. October thru April, its actually really nice.

Couldn't an epoxy work similarly? We use a type of epoxy for floors and knee walls at work. The floor we throw grit on, but the knee walls we dont and thats like glass smooth.
The only time I ever had a disagreement with scorpions were within 1 month. Sept. 1988 1. Winslow at sisters house 2. West Sedona was stung at friends house. 3. Camp Verde discovered one in my backpack.
@@kenreynolds1000 Yellowing is one thing, but the slick surface will suffer first, just like on modern plastic headlight covers. Once that slickness is gone, scopions can climb it.
@@sharonyoxall7553 usually people use copper tape and wrap it around flower pots to keep snails out of the plants. The copper is too slick for them to stick too.
I went camping in southern Utah recently and quite a few came out after it got dark, one was like 6 inches long, dayyyumm.. Apparently they are pretty nocturnal. This product definately looks intriguing.
Mine wasn't, unless you consider 1/8" of mortar spread over chicken wire a 'foundation' lol. Spent the last few weeks pouring concrete to make one, better late than never i guess.
I live in a Skoolie; the tires keep me protected from Texas scorpions getting in my house. I wish there was something that would keep them from crawling up the shower drain in the barn, though. Creepy little buggers.
We need this in Mexico in Partnership with Comex, My sister-in-law repeatedly been Stung by Scorpion, Not just only Americans, but Californians & Mexicans
I live in AZ and need my apartments to put that on all the buildings. Don't have a lot of scorpions but find them from time to time. Never been stung but they are super creepy especially when you have to pick them up and I just flush them down the toilet.
Humm..wonder if it works with something like the brown recluse spider as well? They can't climb smooth surfaces either. Might could paint this on your bed frame legs.
