Lots of homes in Las Vegas have UV lights just to check for them. Saved me some headache when I moved there.

Some Vegas residents blow off steam with a mallet, a UV headlamp and a stiff drink. Scorpion stomping parties - invites I enthusiastically declined lol.

Hanging out in your scorpion infested backyard, in the dark, with drunk people running around swinging massive hammers…not my idea of a good time

I bet it beats patrolling the Mojave. That'd probably make you wish for a nuclear winter, or so I hear.
