I live in AZ and have talked to pest control guys about scorpions. If your house happens to be in one of their migration trails, its really bad. But what is worse, they are extremely difficult to poison as most common ones don't work on them because they walk up off the ground and won't eat them. All the Pest guys can do is "move" their trail over, but that just sends them into your neighbor's house.
