This is a comprehensive list of all the Business Scrubs in the game. All locations are named as they are in the spoiler log and are accompanied by pictures and item requirements. The purpose of this page is to aid players in finding all the Business Scrubs spread throughout Hyrule.
All weapons can be used to stun the Business Scrubs, including swords and Deku Sicks. A well-timed and well-spaced jump slash will do the trick. Shields will reflect nuts, with the exception of Hylian Shield as child and Mirror Shield as adult.

Lon Lon Ranch: 3 Business Scrubs
LLR Deku Scrub Grotto Left/Center/Right
Required items: None. Child only.
Goron City: 3 Business Scrubs
GC Deku Scrub Grotto Left/Center/Right
Required items: Adult only. Goron Tunic + Hookshot, or Ocarina + Song of Time, or Nayru's Love + Hookshot. If one-hit KO or 4x damage is on, then the glitchless logical requirements are either Ocarina + Song of Time + Goron Tunic/Longshot/Nayru's Love, or Nayru's Love + Hookshot.
If you are using Song of Time to reach this grotto, there are two Song of Time blocks in the lava. You can play the song once before the lava pool to spawn a block at the beginning of the lava pool, walk out a little past the first block, and then play the song again to spawn the second block, which will let you jump up on the ledge. The second block will not spawn if you are playing the song while standing on the first block, or if you are standing where the second block spawns. The first block is not necessary to spawn, only the second one, but will help you avoid damage if you are on low health.
If you are using a hookshot to reach this grotto, logic expects you to have Goron Tunic or Nayru's Love to avoid taking damage long enough to hookshot the target. It is possible to hookshot the target without either the tunic or Nayru's, but is somewhat precise and is a trick, not in default logic.
In one-hit KO or 4x damage, logic expects a method of reaching the grotto without taking damage. Goron Tunic and Nayru's Love allows you to step out into the lava between the two Song of Time blocks to spawn the second one, or you can spawn the first Song of Time block, go onto it, and then you can Longshot the target from there. Nayru's Love + Hookshot works the same.
Death Mountain Crater: 4 Business Scrubs
DMC Deku Scrub
Required items: A way into the upper section of DMC. Outside of Entrance Randomizer this will require explosives or Hammer (the boulders in Death Mountain Trail are permanently removed for both ages when smashed).
