for all you maricopa bashers, here's a bonus to living there i didn't even realize until we moved:

i lived in maricopa for over a year and never saw a single spider on our property.  we moved april 1 and have killed about a dozen black widows on our new property.  we had the bug guy out yesterday who said the amount we see is perfectly normal, and showed us a brown recluse we didn't know we had.  the guy was great, sprayed the entire property, and i mean he took the hose from his truck and sprayed over all our gravel.  we have a bunch of dead bugs today, and you'd better believe we'll be seeing bug dude monthly from here on out.  too bad he wasn't cuter, our o premium water dude, on the other hand, is HOT!!!
