Scorpion related question for Florida book owners

We are moving to Florida (Melbourne) in a few months, and my wife has been reading about scorpions there. Apparently, they like to hide under/inside things made of paper/cardboard, and one site she visited recommended replacing your cardboard boxes with plastic ones. Anyway, she thinks that they might go into the bookshelves, and she is coming up with all sort of out-there ideas like storing them in a shed, so as not to attract scorpions in the house. Does anyone here live in Florida, and if so, have you had a problem with scorpions (or any other critters) especially, but not limited to, them going in comic boxes. If so, any recommendations?
