Do you check your boots for scorpions?

Ever since I was a child, I can remember the elders telling me to check my shoes for scorpions, spiders, lizards, wasps, frogs....
ECT ECT....
Seems like nothing was off limits.
Have you ever found any type of unwanted guest in your work boots / yard shoes?
We have a spider problem it is scary.....
There's so many in my boots, it takes a minute to clear them out.
Frogs are er'where
No seriously frogs everywhere!
Dude, like they are bad....
Everytime I get ready to do yard work I have to clean my boots and shoes out.
Who's with me?

I check my boots, bed and deer stand for scorpions. I have found tons in my deer stand but non in my bed or boots. I always shake out my boots for spiders in LA.
I used to take a black light out in Arizona and catch scorpions.
This baw has my back though.

In Kirk Douglas' autobio he tells of making a western in Mexico and being told to always check his cowboy boots for scorpions

I check shoes boots whatever I'm putting on my feet regardless if they've been inside outside or somewhere in between.
I do not want to be that guy.
I've also been accused of being hyper-aware.

Bring them inside....
I never understood why people leave shoes/boots outside.

my daddy always told me to hang my boots upside down

Won't leave shoes outside. I killed 21 brown widows in one night last week on my back porch. I'm not sticking my foot in shoes left outside.

Pretty sure my footwear smells too bad for anything to live in.

no, but a few years back got home the kids wanted to swim. we have a small bathroom in back for changing into swimsuits and what not. Went in got my swim trunks , go undressed, put trunks on , yep scorpion sting right to the thigh.

the frog pic just gave me flashback nightmare. i'll never forget grabbing my shoes from the garage in second grade and putting them on in the kitchen only to feel a smush at the end of the shoe and dropping it, then seeing the toad jump out. i've had an irrational fear of them ever since. 
you never see those frickers when you're walking until they jump as the last minute. hate 'em.

Check your gloves too. I was stung by a yellow jacket that had crawled inside the glove.

No but I was working in my shop yesterday and this little bastard was just sitting there watching. Finally saw him after I reached in that box the 3rd time

You know those sock-sized stockings they give you at crappy shoe stores? Grab a pair of those, keep them in your pocket and put them over the opening to your boots. Keeps them covered while also letting air into dry

Had a frog in my shoe once.
