They mostly show up in the bathtub, but I've seen them inside walls to (when
remodeling).

We're south, near Ben White & Brodie, not too far from Barton Creek.
Haven't seen any in several months, but when it gets too dry, or too cold,
they'll come back.

If they're regulars of your neighborhood, just make sure you wear slippers
if padding around a dark house late at night... ;(

Also check your clothes. Our daughter put on a pair of jeans she'd left
lying on the bathroom floor, was sore for two weeks. Nothing like a
scorpion sting on your butt first thing in the morning!

Has anyone had problems with scorpions in the Austin suburbs?

Back in the late 1970s I remember that a friend's house near
Stassney and Nuckols Crossing was unbelievably infested with
scorpions. You would turn on the garage light and see dozens
scatter. Of course this was a new subdivision at the time,
so perhaps the house was on or near a debris pile of some kind.
That house gave me the creeps and I probably spent no more
than 10 minutes there before excusing myself.

On the other hand, my brother in law has lived for several
years in two subdivisions near Slaughter & Brodie, and
says he's never seen 'em.

If you have a scorpion problem: do you have a lush lawn or
exposed dirt and outcroppings in your yard?
