We went to collect some large rocks from a friends house about 15 minutes away, I turned over 3 rocks that had little scorpions under them. None at my house so far but I did have a little tarantula just inside the back sliding door, right on my carpet. Thought it was a dried up flower! We 'dropped' him next door, over the fence. Haven't seen once since and I'd like to keep it that way!
Lots of lizards, a couple of garter snakes, I can handle those. Daughter's cat has caught 6 gophers so far (at least the ones we know of) I drowned one the other day, working on another one now. Once our daughter and her family move out, their dogs will be gone and I can finally enjoy the myriads of birds around here including lots of quail. Right now they chase anything bird comes into the yard.
