Does it kill scorpions?

I'm not sure. We don't live where there are scorpions. We only use it to keep our chicken coop fresh.

What is the difference between this and regular hydrated lime? Can it be used in an outhouse the same as hydrated lime?

Great question! Our product is hydrated lime Ca(OH)2 has had carbon dioxide added into it + CO2 → CaCO3, which makes it less caustic. This keeps the neutralizing strength, while making it safe to handle.Yes, it is perfectly suited for use in an outhouse. It will neutralize the odor causing bacteria.

I would like to read the bag but print is to small. Suggestion?
