Hello ~ I just came from your website & have a couple of questions if
you don't mind.  My husband and I just moved from Connecticut to
Arizona.  I gardened all summer long in Connecticut without much thought
about critters like scorpions.  1.  Where do they go in the hot daylight
hours?   2.  We were told to remove any bushes and trees that were up
against or overhanging the roof.  I have since read an article that says
if you remove these items it may cause the scorpions to enter the home.
Which is the correct thing to do?  3.  What protective measures do I
need to implement when doing yard work?  4.  Any other advice is much
appreciated!
