This is great.

I lived in AZ for 3 years. There's nothing to adjust to. The guy's from Florida where the heat is far more oppressive and they have equally dangerous critters. Ever see a Palmetto bug?

 

[RugbyMuffin]

I can relate.

I grew up in north jersey, and you would see a tick here and there.

Now living in south jersey, it took me a while to deal with the fact the ticks literally run south jersey, they are everywhere.......pretty sure they rain from the skies some days.

Thank goodness for yoga, because tick checks take some flexibility. LOL!

Hey Rug - a timber rattler was spotted a week ago near a parked auto in Manchester (south Jersey).

I love snakes, plus they tell you when you are too close, it is not this assassin biological warfare BS that the ticks bring to the table.

The guy is a character.

Get a cat is the right answer. Cat will kill that scorpion every time

Don't forget stink bugs. Those things are everywhere. I live near a pond and there's a drainage creek behind my house and I've seen red velvet wasps, black widows, snapping turtles, leeches, snakes, and other critters in my yard.

My 8 year old got stung by a scorpion a couple weeks ago when he was getting ready to take a nap.

Last week, I picked up my dog's water bowl to fill it up and there was a big scorpion under it. Not much you can do.

I go out at night with a black light and one of my son's croquet mallets. Scorpion meet mallet!

I had to do that when I lived in Chandler. 10-15 a night during the summer.

South Scottsdale - haven't seen one here (knock on wood)

I wouldn't call Manchester South Jersey. More central to north. South Jersey, as we South Jerseyans put it starts at Camden County.

I haven't seen them either here. In Mesa the cat was killing 2-3 a year.

Some might know this, but that white cooking vinegar gets rid of the pain of a scorpion bite in like ten seconds. Just rub it on a sting. You still get the pulling sensation from the bite but the sting subsides. Living in South Central rural Texas, we have everything which can bite, sting or prick you in abundance from Rattlers, Copperheads, Coral Snakes, Cottonmouths, black widows, brown recluse, ticks, fleas, blood sucker (kissing) bug, red velvet ants, hornets, yellow jackets, some bees with still a killer bee strain, scorpions, fire ants, the basic tree being the shrub mesquite which has thorns, assortments of cactus, scorpions and even freaking alligators. Was once bitten by a Rattler while running, bitten by a Brown Recluse spider, probably seven times by scorpions, and a red velvet ant which hurt worse than anything I ever been bitten but I survived which I attribute to being a Cardinal fan and we have suffered to a point of a extreme tolerance haha...

That being said, I have major respect for those in Arizona because you have freaking bark scorpions and a assortment of snakes which include a variety of the coral and they have a venom which is cobra like (and they do not have to gnaw not being vipers, because like a scorpion it just takes a touch of poison to get you), and then you guys have all the freaking cactus variety

BTW, I have a cat named Pumpkin who has killed five rattlers and three cottonmouths in his life, not to add the ones he has found around the house giving me time to get my gun (yeah, I know of old timers who kill them with a hoe, but no thank you), or the snakes he has probably killed without my knowledge... but he leaves good snakes alone like a Blue Indigo we have living at my neighbors, and those guys eat rattlers and a enemy of your enemy is a friend to my cat

We have sea gulls that sometimes squeal in the Channel Islands. Terribly disturbing.

I hear chickens eat scorpions. He should get a chicken.

I hired responsible pest control. Last year I saw scorpions daily. This year I've seen two. $50 a month.

Live in South Carolina now and we have Rattlers, Copperheads, Coral Snakes, Cottonmouths, black widows, brown recluse, fire ants, yellow jackets, wasps, alligators, and worse of all the dreaded REDNECKS!

Our hearts bleed for you, there is nothing worse than squealing sea gulls!

We have those redneck thingy magigys too... and they are Cowboy fans, but that actually lessens the danger since that franchise has not done much lately and from their current exhibition of coaching will continue to do squat

This is a humble brag, I see

If I find a scorpion, I get my cat and show it to him. He LOVES to kill them. But, for some reason, dogs can't/don't do that. If they get stung, they hurt like we do.

 

[POISON]

Really I've never never heard that? I hate cats but that's something. .....
