Then Flagstaff is not for me, I prefer Phoenix or Tucson.
Wife won't move because there are Turantulas and Scorpions, I told her that's what the Orkin man is for.
We have a very good friend who live by South Mountain in PHX, everytime we go to his home he has "stick pads" all over the house. He is constantly catch little critters. His home is constantly under scorpion attack. Best part is seeing a mother scorpion with 50 + babies riding her back. I would burn the place down, move, or pay a professional to seal the place for tiny visitors.
