Invasion!!!

THERE IS A SCORPION IN MY WASHING MACHINE!!!

Apparently last night's storm has brought them out in droves, and now I'm running my machine with Oxy Clean, Tide, and maybe a little bit of tequila in a (hopefully successful) attempt to kill this thing. Bleach would have been better, but alas, we have no bleach.

I have a feeling that our exterminator is going to be making a LOT of money from us in the next few months. Damn you, West Texas, and your lethal household pests!


***EDITED TO ADD: The exterminator soaked our baseboards in scorpion-killing-stuff (which is pet safe once it dries) and told me that while our neighborhood is "known" for scorpions, his company has had a lot of success in getting rid of them completely with monthly treatments.
