Anyway, I started googling on how to get rid of scorpions. And the method that was described as the absolute best was: To get a cat!

I seem to remember seeing something about using empty coffee-cans as DIY scorpion traps. You bury the cans up to the rim, and the scorpions will fall in and not be able to climb out. Periodically check the traps and kill or relocate as you see fit.
My problem is that my girl cat will bring me her catches still alive if I am home. She'll whine at the door and when I open it she steps inside and drops whatever she is holding. Summer before last I had three live lizards running around the house at one point, which kept the other two cats thoroughly entertained.
