I almost forgot. You really get used to wearing shoes in the house. Always. You never leave anything on the ground at all. You shake everything out. And you make sure your bed sheets don't touch the ground. We had the babies crib sitting inside glass jars it was so bad.

The land we sit on was cow pasture and rose hedge about 10 years ago. In my old house we were the first house in the neighborhood during a very bad drought year. The scorpions swarmed my house because I was watering my yard to keep it alive and they all needed the water. They can get through a 1/16" crack. Which means they can climb under any door. Once they get into the attic then you're in for the long haul. It's probably not as bad here as it is in Arizona, but its worse than it should be for such a humid climate.

They don't like it too humid because they can't molt properly then.

In the first year at my first house I killed over 150 inside the house, and hundreds more outside. We were the only house on a 160 acre tract and they all showed up at my house. In th second year I killed about 50, 3rd year about a dozen and then finally none at all. Hadn't seen one at this house except for one in the garage last year.

One of the kids was stung on the foot after stepping on one, but other than that we haven't been stung. I've had a few crawl on me though. And I've had them in my bed, on my pillow, falling from the recess lights in the ceiling while I was in a shower, drop from teh top of a door when you open it, climb the walls of course, climb the ceiling. They can climb anything except glass. Anything.
