Below is an out line of the things you can do in addition to the chemical control methods you are already using:
Non-insecticide methods for scorpion control are:
Exclusion- Scorpions and other pests can be kept out of structures to a large degree by installing tight-fitting screens, replacing old weatherstripping around doors and windows, and caulking cracks and crevices that scorpions can use to gain access to the home especially around cables, pipes and wires that enter through the walls of the structure.
Harborage Removal- Harborage removal is key to scorpion control and will greatly reduce the numbers of scorpions in the area surrounding the structure, making it far less likely that they will enter. Harborage removal includes eliminating piles of lumber, bricks, and other stacked items that create clusters of tight spaces, elimination of vegetation and other heavy ground coverings near homes and buildings, trimming back tree and shrub limbs from walls and roof, and keeping gutters clear of leaves and other debris.
