I like the video of the camel spider taking out the scorpion. You think we could develop a franchise for scorpion control?

Hmmm...trying to get people to buy 6 inch spiders to wipe out their scorpions...

Are scorpions and spiders present all year or do they typically become more active at certain times of year in Vegas?
