You already got some tips to watch out for scorpions.. After you cut it down,,,, bang the 7734 out of branch on cement to shake out any scorpions. Then while still outside,,,, take a gallon of laundry bleach,,, and soak the branch by dousing. This would neutralize any thing small, to microscopic from life.do branches pose any problems at all when it comes to bugs or critters? Should I wait a few days after cutting it off to use it in their coop?
When branch dries out,,, ready to install.
When my son lived in Fountain Hills a few years ago,,, he encountered a scorpion in his bathtub. Not sure what the variety/breed it was. He was not too anxious to find out ether. Just finished it off
