First off , I'll tell you , we keep a tidy property. Yards always neat, no big piles of crap. My garage is clean and un cluttered. So why is it I feel like I'm living in some 1960's Twilight Zone episode?
I have lived in my house for 28 years and up until two years ago we had never seen a scorpion on our property, then overnight it was like someone opened up the gates of hell and we were inundated with them.
They were in the house, in the garage, everywhere. These are bark scorpions, the only variety in the US that are poisonous. I had to pay a company called Seal Out Scorpions a crazy amount of money to send a team of guys to our house and spend two days here sealing and caulking every tiny crack and opening on our house, inside and out, they screened anything that needs to remain open and we re worked all of our landscaping to make our yard less attractive to them. I also routinely spray Texas Red Cedar oil ,which is insanely expensive, because it is a natural repellent to them.
This weekend I killed 5 of them FIVE!!! On the house, in the garage. Jeeze Louise!
Not only that, I've got Black Widows that have taken up residence in my backyard grill and patio flower pots,
And oh yeah, I just discovered we have termites, TERMITES!!!
What the heck is going on here? Where is Rod Sterling?
