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.

When I lived in AZ, one of the homes I lived in was infested with the little bastards. My husband comes out to me one day while I am trying to cool off in the pool and he is holding a cup. Inside that cup is a momma covered in babies that he had found while cleaning the garage. We were always finding scorpions on the walls and the carpet (which was the same color as them). I have absolutely no idea how neither of us got stung that year. We would even find the ones that fell into the hottub and drowned. ::shiver::
Last place we lived didn't have the scorpions but, did have black widows that loved our patio set.
