Scorpion hunting

We have scorpions at our house. It's no surprise, we live in old orange groves and that is just something you expect. Luckily, they stay outside and hidden during the day, but often will come out at night. Consequently, that's the best time to go scorpion hunting.
  • Required items for the hunt: shoes (not flip flops, because then you are forever feeling like they are crawling on your feet. And I actually wish that I had irrigation boots for the occasion), black light, scorpion killing stick.
The other night I squished an especially giant one, and its guts squirt on to my arm! I FREAKED out. And then, I get inside and found guts on my shirt too! See those white-ish spots?! SERIOUSLY BARF.
Maybe I haven't been out hunting since then because I got all freaked out by it. Does anyone have an extra Hazmat suit laying around that I could borrow for like ever?
