I have lived here for more than 12 years and I've never seen a rattlesnake outside of a zoo. We get occasional scorpions (2 or 3 a year), but some places do get more. Partly it's killing the food source -- we spray every 5 weeks or so, so we don't get a lot of bugs. If your neighbor sprays and you don't, guess whose house the bugs will live at? I have been stung once and it only made part of my foot a numb for a day. (BTW, don't Google "scorpion sting" -- the Internet will convince you death is imminent)
A brand-new area that is displacing desert critters is the most likely to have them try to move in with you when their homes are eliminated.

So all of those new homes that we fell in love with out in Gilbert are the most likely to see scorpions inside?
Fantastic! lol
Oh well, sounds like it is just something you sign up for when you are moving to an otherwise attractive sun drenched desert that's a quick drive away from Disneyland and Las Vegas
I'm going to resist the urge to Google "scorpion sting" now...
