One thing I've read is to be sure your shrubs and flowers etc are thinned to the max and all garbage or toys, dog toys, grilling equipment, patio furniture, sandboxes, any place bugs or scorpions can hide in are all cleared out. Take garbage out for collection only the morning the truck comes, otherwise keep it in the house and isolated but be sure your yard, etc., is free of any place things can collect and hide in safety. No empty planters or flower pots, gardening implements stacked anywhere. Leave the ground free of anything but your shrubs that are clipped free of limbs from a foot or more off the ground, flowers with long stems that don't grow leaves, flowers near the ground and your trees. Otherwise, the yard must be just grass without any other places for creepies to live.
