It's just that for weeks, ever since I found the first scorpion in the house, I have been checking everything. Before I dry my hands on a towel, I check both sides to make sure a scorpion isn't hiding on the back side. I check every piece of clothing before I put it on. I always zip my coat and backpack pockets so a scorpion can't crawl inside. I tap my shoes on the floor before putting them on to knock any scorpions out. And then I decided their little legs are probably strong enough to withstand the tapping without being dislodged so now I look inside the shoes too. I check all the bedding before going to sleep at night. (Remember when I found the cockroach under my pillow?) I check the kitchen cupboards before I put my hand in. I check the glasses before taking one out. I check the walls and floors. Not in any compulsive way of course. Just checking.
It never occurred to me that they would also be dropping from the ceiling. So thanks to BigJohn's FB friend Bill Keller for his smart aleck idea to help me out so I don't have to quit washing dishes. Turns out there are lots of them available on amazon.com and I recommend you get one before coming down here.
Bill also suggests playing this song at full volume. Guaranteed to get all insects out of your house pronto.
