Is this a California “thing?”

The Barks are the nasty little bastards. Haven’t been stung but I know people who have. Children and small pets as well as people with medical issues are at risk. I have to be careful in that I have cardiac issues. I should note we have a good extermination service. They keep the crickets and spiders at bay. Borax for the scorpions. So far this season I’ve only killed one.
