The best way to get rid of scorpions as fast as possible is to hunt for them at night when they're most active. It's not for the faint of heart, but killing them one at a time is a good way to reduce the scorpion population around your home, fast. To hunt scorpions, you need the following equipment:  A black (ultraviolet) light. They glow in the dark, so you'll be able to see them clearly by using a black light to search them out. Get a flashlight or headlamp with a black light bulb. A tool you can use to kill them. In parts of Arizona, long-handled tweezers used to break the scorpions' exoskeletons are the weapons of choice. You can also use a long knife or wear a pair of heavy boots to step on them. Look on exterior walls, at the bases of walls and fences, under bushes and other foliage, under rocks, and other outdoor cracks and crevices close to your home. Shine your black light in all of these areas to set scorpions aglow.  Scorpions don't normally reside in grass, so you probably won't find many there. You can also look indoors in your attic, along baseboards, and in any other areas where you've seen a scorpion. Use long-handled tweezers, a knife, or the bottom of your boot to kill the scorpions. Then put them in a trash bag, tie it up and discard it with your regular trash. Hunt at night with a UV flashlight and Raid ant and cockroach spray. Spray each scorpion directly with the spray. This spray has the fastest activation. If the scorpion is high up a wall or on the ceiling, spray with Raid wasp and hornet spray to reach.

Summary: Get the right equipment. Search around your property for scorpions. Kill the scorpions you find. Use another hunting approach.


In the state of New York, a marriage is only void for three possible reasons.   The first type of void marriage is an incestuous marriage. An incestuous marriage is defined as a marriage between an ancestor and a descendant (parent-child or grandparent-grandchild), a marriage between a a brother and a sister, or a marriage between an uncle or aunt and their niece or nephew. The second type of void marriage is a bigamous marriage. A bigamous marriage occurs when one or both spouses get married while still married to another living person. Under no circumstances does New York law recognize bigamous marriages. The third type of void marriage is a marriage performed by a person who lacked the legal authority to perform marriages. In New York, the power to perform (solemnize) a marriage ceremony is limited to ministers, clergy, judges, and certain city and county officials. While the authority of ministers, clergy, and judges to perform marriages is statewide, the particular county or city official with the authority varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. When a marriage is void, the marriage license was granted to parties who could not have legally entered into a marriage contract. Therefore, legally speaking, there never was an actual marriage, only the illusion of a marriage. Since there was no marriage to begin with, technically, there is no need for an official declaration of nullity. However, you still might want to seek a formal declaration of nullity if:  You have children as a result of the void marriage. A formal declaration of nullity helps ensure that a child who is the result of a void marriage receives all the rights and privileges he or she is entitled to, including rights to inheritances and child support. You think you might be entitled to alimony. For example, if your spouse was a bigamist, that would render your marriage void.  However, you may have been married to the bigamist for some time, and therefore be entitled to receive alimony. Alimony would be impossible to obtain without a formal declaration of nullity by the court. You need to formally separate jointly held property. Regardless of whether or not your marriage was legally void, you may have acquired property during the period you and your spouse were together. If this is the case, obtaining a declaration of nullity can give you the legal foundation you need to separate common property on an equitable basis. While the evidence necessary to demonstrate a marriage was void is not extensive, you will still need to provide evidence to the court.  If your marriage is void on grounds of bigamy, provide documentation for both of your spouse's marriage licenses.Baptismal or birth records should be sufficient evidence to demonstrate an incestuous marriage. If the person who performed your marriage ceremony was unlicensed, then records from religious entities demonstrating a lack of affiliation between the minister and the denomination would be of great value. No matter what, obtaining your declaration of nullity will require the involvement of a New York state court. Most likely, you and your spouse will need to appear before a judge. The details depend on the specifics of your case.  If the separation between you and your spouse will involve contested questions of property, child custody, and child support, you should strongly consider hiring an attorney to represent you in court. If you do, then you only need to submit the evidence you gathered to your attorney and show up in court when the date is set. If you do not use an attorney, then you need to go to your local county clerk of court's office. There, you will find the necessary forms to initiate your case.  Fill out the forms and pay the filing fees. You will receive a court date. Show up to court on time and with all of the documentation necessary to prove to the judge that your marriage was void on the grounds that you claim.

Summary: Determine if your marriage is void. Decide whether you want or need a formal declaration of nullity. Gather evidence. Take the next step.


The proper way to walk a dog is with the dog on your left side. However, this is only necessary for formal obedience and some other sports. For pet dogs, choose whichever side is best for you, but be consistent and stick with the chosen side.  The dog should walk with its head or shoulder even with your hip. You are not holding the leash tight to keep your dog in place. The leash is slack between you, with no contact. "Right Here" is a useful command to teach your dog when standing. If your dog is not close enough or is confused about which side to sit at, slap your hip and use the command "Right Here". If needed, lure your dog to your side with a treat. As your dog learns, slowly fade the lure by using your hand without a treat, then just your hand, then more general. The lure can become a hand signal (moving your hand to your hip). The key to heeling is having your dog's attention. Start standing still with your dog sitting beside you in the correct position. Get your dogs attention by calling its name, tapping on its head, making noises, or using your pre-taught "watch me" cue.  When the dog looks up, slap your left hip with your hand and say "Right Here". This is a command. Your dog can learn to look where you indicate, and in this way you are giving your dog a reference point for where he should be while heeling. Set your dog up for success. Try your best to avoid asking for more than your dog is capable of. Remember, the key is getting your dog's attention. This can be the most difficult thing. Also, though it takes some work, while getting your dog's attention you can teach your dog to look at you when you say "Watch me" or whatever your chosen cue is. Remember to reward with a treat when your dog responds correctly. Reward your dog. Increase to two, then three, and so on. Consider every walk you have with the dog a training session. Treats are usually the most favoured and easiest option. You should positively reinforce your dog when he obeys your commands correctly. Avoid using punishment to train.
Summary: Teach your dog proper positioning. Teach your dog to position itself correctly. Get your dog's attention. With your dog in position, take one step. Once your dog is reliably heeling, introduce speed changes and turns. Heavily reinforce your dog for good behavior with whatever they enjoy most - treats, play, petting, praise, etc.
