"I've got a very bad feeling about this"

This quote is from the new Indiana Jones movie, hence the title of this post:)

Mutt Williams: A scorpion just stung me, am I gonna die?
Indiana Jones: How big?
Mutt Williams: Huge!
Indiana Jones: Good.
Mutt Williams: Good?
Indiana Jones: When it comes to scorpions, the bigger the better. Small one bites ya, don't keep it to yourself.

Well, this is what I found on my kitchen counter this morning!



If Ben wasn't home to kill it, I'm afraid he would still be alive. Now I don't dare go into the kitchen and my skin is just crawling. I want to move back to Utah!!!

Oh my goodness, that's scary!!! I think that I would have freaked out, and not sure I would have been able to kill only because I would be too scared...now you'll probably be checking everything around the house for the next little bit, lol!!!

Don't worry - they're not that bad. If one does get you it just feels like a bad bee sting. Usually, if they don't have food (i.e. other smaller bugs), they will leave your house alone. We have our house sprayed for bugs once a month so we hopefully won't get scorpions. If you have citrus trees, palm trees, or a pool they will be worse. You can also try lining your air vents with windo screen material son they can't crawl into the house thru the vents. Don't worry - you'll adjust!
