We had lots of BWs when we lived in the desert. There favorite food is crickets, if you can get rid of the crickets the BWs will go away.
Scorpions. We moved from the SoCal desert to Prescott AZ and we had Bark scorpions everywhere. These are not your average scorpion that have a sting sort of like a wasp. These suckers can kill you. A child or small pet can die in a matter of minutes if stung by a Bark. We had one get into the house and my wife saw it just as our little doxie picked it up off the floor. My wife screamed at her to drop it which she did and I caught the scorpion in a glass. The dog was crying and we thought she had been stung. Wife called our Vet and she asked if there was any swelling around her mouth...there wasn't. The Vet stayed on the phone with my wife for about 10 minutes and the Vet said that our dog did not get stung.....If she had been stung, she would have been dead by now.
