Don't try this at home!

Dusty found this scorpion on the living room carpet. Joe sort of touched it (he said he just thought it was a piece of dust) and Dusty jumped back. She must have had contact before. Joe has too, and it hurts! So when he saw what it was he got a pill bottle and managed to trap it. Then we put it in the freezer. The pill bottle does have a lid on. This morning I checked it and it is pretty frozen but I didn't want to take off the lid to photograph it. We had one in the past that we froze and when we unfroze it, it was still alive. These guys you don't want to fool with.  They can climb walls. Joe was lucky this time. If you ever come to my house I'd advise to open containers carefully. We've been known to use butter containers also.
