There are not actually that many scorpions in the desert the lack of water
and crickets
limits their population to a very low number however when we build houses in
the desert we bring something with us water
this water allows the crickets
and the roaches to breed exponentially and draws from the greenbelt the
scorpions to the property you can see here a grass that's not indigenous to
Arizona able to grow because of the excess water you'll be able to see the
actual dripper here in my hand
that releases water and keep this plant alive this additional water
causes the scorpion population to boom right around homes
as they expand their territories the eventually move inside the home eventually
they notice that there are
cricket infestations inside the walls of the home
this material here is cricket droppings cricket fecal matter this is actually
normal here in the desert the crickets love the cooler air that comes out front
the wall they can actually fit
up into the gap
right here
this
Infestation of crickets
draws the scorpions further into the home and they start showing up in your
wife's shoes.
