Question for my fellow desert-dwellers: scorpions, what do YOU do about them?
#1
I've lived in the southwest for over 25 years and until last year, I'd NEVER given scorpions a thought. I have never heard of them inhabiting the town I live in. My bf lives an hour away and last year, he found a live scorpion in the bedroom. I didn't even know his town had them! Since then, he's discovered one other live one and a dead one on the living room floor. What I found to be even more disturbing is that when we upgraded some lighting fixtures, we found some dead scorpions in the fixtures we took down. That completely creeped me out. Every time I set foot in his house, I can't help but think of them.

I think I've developed a bit of a fear of them. I know the ones we have around here wouldn't cause life-threatening injuries but I'd still rather not encounter any. So my question for other desert dwellers on the forum is - how do you avoid scorpions? What's the best way to keep them out of the house? Any scorpion avoidance advice is greatly appreciated.
