May I suggest perhaps catching one to keep as a pet? The interaction with it can help alleviate any anxieties and can be a fun learning experience for both your sons(and you as well).

I have to agree with this statement. When I first found scorpions in my yard I about died. Held my baby for three days, and cried the whole time. After that,I caught one, read up on them (and spent tons of time on this forum learning about them). Now I teach the neighbors and local cub scouts about them. Still not a huge fan of finding them in the house... and freaked out when my toddler got stung by a wild one in the house (see sting reports for that info)... but long story short. Learn more about them, and you'll have less fear of living with them (though it's not always fun). Now I keep a bunch of arachnids... Thanks Arachnoboards!!! lol ((we have wild C. Sculpts that run around here))
