This is amazing stuff. Fairly not-toxic if you're careful where you apply it. Keep away from fish, reptiles and birds though.


I have never seen anything work as well on ants. One application and zero ants within hours.

If you read the reviews on Amazon, it is highly recommended for scorpions. We started using it for the giant field roaches in the summer but I like the added bonus of keeping scorpions away. We never saw one and I don't want to!

I have fought the scorpion wars on a couple of occasions . I do not believe any of the usual chemical weapons work very well on those creatures. The one real knock down drag out fight was in nice NLV. They basically won with a neighborhood clean up of nest sites and whacking lots in UV light. I don't know it was a complete success but they clearly reduced it to a minor problem.

Lost one sale to an infestation. Nice northern Summerlin. The long term vacant home was entirely infested. Killed 40 or 50 juveniles in the downstairs area. Seller tented the place which likely cured the problem.

In most cases the thing can be handled by simply getting the house well sealed. Keeps other varmints out as well.

Has anyone had any luck with the new number for bug bully? its now posted on Yelp I think attached to their business name. I have called repeatedly and I am just not getting anywhere. Is it just me or are others having the same issue?

We loved bug bully too, but eventually gave up and switched to preventivepestvegas <-- website. Same man comes out every time and is friendly, knows to give us a heads up in case the dog (mastiff) is out, etc. We had an issue once with ants & they took care of it.

I totally agree with that. Bifen works great, the same can be told about permethrin but you'll need a bigger dosage for that. Also, good old powders such as diatomaceuos earth is still a thing, you can read about it here. Same goes with that products for scorpions (though I can't access the page now).

What's name of your pest control company? This sounds good.

Doesn't seem to be worth the effort. If Bug Bully is still in business, why the mystery and having to search for their number? There are so many exterminators out there. Why struggle to get in contact with this guy?
