Cut onions and drop around the places you see them. It will drive them away.

If it is killing all insects on the property, it is also slowly poisoning you and your family. Best way to get rid of scorpions is to deny it access to any water, turn off all water to the property and make the home bone-dry after a week or two, scorpions and roaches will leave your home in search of water elsewhere. Their babies would also die off which is key in eradicating cockroaches that basically use your home as nurseries whilst adults come and go travelling between different houses. I suspect from my observations.

I usually call fumigation service..
But sometimes when I want to do it myself.. I use “nopest”. the last time...for close to week all the insect kept crawling out to from their holes to die in the open...and I ddnt even put in the holes..

After I stopped smelling it...they were still dying.. I ddnt see cockroach or scorpion or even mosquitoes for a month..

If I use sniper... mosquito will bite me the next day..

I think because Sniper is arguably the most popular insecticide in Nigeria, fake and substandard ones have started popping up

You should be happy it is scorpion, what about those that are seeing snakes. I actually killed one snake in my living room same days ago. When you have too many lizards or wall geckos in your compound, this is likely to attract snakes hunting them. About the scorps, I think it has to do with your dirty room, also watch out for any wet surface in your room, scorpions like to be around water. Maybe there is a carpet on the floor which causes some wetness under it due to heat.
My place is not dirty, it is not over loaded and it is all tiled

One drop of your fake Nigerian Sniper will kill a scorpion instantly. I know this because I have done it several times.

Infact that your fake Nigerian Sniper will keep killing any scorpion that comes into that environment for at least four days. I know this because I once lived inside a compound infested with scorpions.

So, Nigerian Sniper is not fake.
Yes i can confirm this, just a drop on the body killed the one i killed last night. But i need something that would prevent them permanently

Bocking all the holes without sealing the ones above will still give them access to your home. From the behavior of these scorpions, they like to crawl out from the blocks above which you know are hollow, then if there is any space in between the ceiling that leads to your house they will crawl down. Like you I had similar experience, always wondered where they are coming from till I say with my eyes how they were infiltrating my house from above. I made sure I sealed all those spaces in between the ceiling, had the most success in preventing them from entering. I just don't know why they like the lurking in the ceiling.

Do you have any kind of water that is stagnant within your room. Maybe it is a bowl used to keep water in that is dripping on the floor, or there is a tight corner in your room causing some kind of sweating surface?
