Our Tico neighbours tell us that scorpions come in when it is cold outside and we have never found them in the house in the wet season, but we get 2-3 every December/January.
We have fitted door sweeps on all our doors and we use Baygon across the doorways as well. We don’t have a serious problem with them or with most kinds of ants either.
We live in San Ramon 6 months of the year and have had a bank account with Scotia Bank since 2009. We had no problems at all. Yes, there were paper hoops to jump through and yes, things took time, but we never had any problems and have transferred money from Canada, also with no problems. We never bother with cheques from Canada, just direct transfers so there has never been a hold on any funds in our accounts.
Once we had established the Scotia account, we then went to Banco National in 2011 and opened an account with no problems at all.
This year was the first time we can’t do SINPE transfers, but now the house is finished, that really isn’t a problem.
My advice is to use Scotia–always polite, always willing to help and always able to speak English is you can’t speak Spanish.
