When I lived in Texas, I had this little... cottage for a house, middle of the woods right on the lake. Had this thing they called a heater, it was brown. Walking by it one day I look down and I see a rather fat scorpion, which was trip enough... but then I noticed she wasn't fat, those were baby scorpions on her back. Another time, just before leaving for a concert I feel my pants leg move, I look down and a scorpion was crawling up my jeans. Off came the hat, swatted it off and stomped on it while screaming like a little girl.
In AZ I haven't seen a scorpion yet, but them damn black widows are all over. I can easily kill 2-3 every couple of months during the warmer months, even with a bug man. Had this one last year that was on both sides of the wall from the front to back yard, huge web/nest spanning across bushes and and another wall. She caught a small mouse in her web... didn't end well for the mouse. I kill them with bleach, a small amount melts them.
