Update: Attack of the scorpions!

I thought I should do an update as these suckers just won't go away. Put an F where the S is and that's really how I feel!!!
Minutes after writing my blog post the other day we found another, and another, and another scorpion. Making the total more than 7 in less than a week. We did have the fumigators come that day and spray the inside and outside of our home along with the 2 neighbours on either side. He warned us that once he sprayed the perameter around the houses the little suckers may make it inside within 2-3 days.

Poor us - we ended up taking a vacay down to the Secrets Maroma Beach Hotel for a few days. What a treat that was. I dont' know if I'd ever stay anywhere else ever again. I'll have to post some pics soon as the beach is rated as one of the top 3 in the world!!! By whom, I don't know. LOL. Who am I to disagree?!

The weather hasnt' been great. Needless to say, due to the poor weather conditions (putting things mildly) our fumigator wasn't able to fumigate the exterior properly. He also warned us that the weather could also cause the scorpions to seek refuge in our homes!!! F*&( me!!!!!

WELL....this morning my step-mom was going to use the washroom on our lower level and found a scorpion under the garbage can!!!!! They are already in our house, and this one was alive and breathing. I've been told the "blondies" are the worst kind here in Mexico, and guess what it was? A blondie. I'll have to look into this more. We are seriously looking at getting out of our place, but since we signed a year lease...it may not be possible, but I CAN"T LIVE with scorpions. Call me a princess, call me whatever you like - I can't do it, and I don't want to. I especially don't want to be scared to leave my dogs at home alone, or get up to use the washroom at night (bathroom for my American readers!!!). It`s not like we live in a jungle, we have a great backyard, and we have a gardener who takes care of things like fumigating the complex. What am I going to do? I am seriously stressing out over here.
HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
