This ain't no April Fools... I saw my first scorpion of the year. EEEK!
I saw my first scorpion of the year today April 1, 2009.
There we were, my daughters Hannah and Emily and I rushing out to the car to get to school, when Emily froze in her shoes, shrieked and pointed at a scorpion skittering across the garage floor to its hiding spot under an ice chest!
Dang! I thought, it's already that time of the year again when the bugs come out. First its the scorpions... then the biting ants in the grass, then all sorts of other creepy, crawly desert pests. Yuck!
You think I would have thought of how much I dislike bugs before my family and I got in the pest control business... or maybe that's why we did -- because I hate bugs as much as the next gal.
So maybe its because my sister, Rebecca, and I can't stand those sneaky stingy suckers that our hubbys Bill (mine) and Bob (Bec's) developed the ultimate scorpion abatement treatment last fall. The day/night service includes inside/outside/attic spraying, night hunts consisting of black lights, jars and tweezers, etc. Let me tell you, they spent many a warm night poking and spraying around our houses (and our friends' houses) 'til the wee hours, until we were finally SCORPION FREE!
Yes, it really is possible to get rid of scorpions in the desert. I've lived in Arizona 27 summers now and I didn't think it was possible, but it is. It does take effort though -- especially if you don't want to use toxic chemicals in and around your house. We love our dogs (we have 2 dogs, Maggie and Sputnick, and Bec and Bob have 3 dogs Rambo, Buddy and Puff) too much to risk that, so we thought it was worth the research and effort.
So honey, break out your black light, those long-handled tweezers and your jar of spraying stuff, cuz theyyy'rrre baaaack...
FRIENDS: IF YOU WANT TO DO A NIGHT-TIME SCORPION HUNT AT YOUR HOUSE -- WE'LL GIVE YOU A PERSONAL SPORPION-FINDER LIGHT (a mini-black light flashlight) FREE! Just call Bec at the office at 623-533-3890.
