Scorpions, they really do glow...

Black widows can be even worse. I had a distant relative laid up for quite awhile after getting bit by one. If I recall correctly Merck doesn't even produce the antivenin for the black widow anymore. Sorry for the derail.

I'm personally much more concerned about a brown recluse bite than that of a black widow due to the tissue necrosis.

These are actually from a neighborhood about 10 miles away, thankfully. If we'd found that many I'd be busy packing!

As noted in the article I linked, one of the things which will help is to keep bugs out of your yard and home, since that is their food source. If you combine the sprays and granules along with the dust, I think you will be able to get them under control. It will really help if you can convince your neighbors to do the same. The larger of an area you can make uncomfortable for them, the better off you are.

we also have black widows here in AZ

I do miss the islands the only thing one has to watch there is the pissed off drunk Samoans but they are often as easy to see as a bear and about the same size and Centipedes !
had some I caught that were a foot long and drop a cock roach in a can with them as our own little cage fighting show

I fell in love with Australia when I honeymooned there a few years ago. Unfortunately, that place tops the list of most dangers animals. We went to the Sydney zoo; there is a reason why it is on an island with only ferry access.
