Howdy, parents —
Well now, parents, summer vacation is wrapping up. We know you’re busy, but there’s one vital checklist item you might miss: making sure your home’s perimeter is safe and sound for the kids. When children are running in and out, the opportunity for a nasty bite or sting shoots sky high. We're talking about protecting the little buckaroos from the Arizona Bark Scorpion where they are most vulnerable.
