About Scorpions...

Scorpions are very territorial, like ants, and you may run a across them in and around new properties built on or near recent unimproved land. If that is the case, you may always have them. But from what I've heard an older, well established home may seldom have them, as generations pass since it's first being built. But there is a chance that a few scorpions may be delivered with the bricks upon new construction or remodeling. Since they aren't 'at home' they are easily dealt with; just step on one, if you see it. Since I first arrived, I've only seen one scorpion and a few centipedes that I was shocked to see, I thought they only existed in that 80's video game - lol anyway, I had a friend step on it as it walked the sidewalk nearby, and I ran screaming across the street.
