So the OP apparently doesn't think that hawks and foxes and other wild animals have a right to find themselves a meal? Only the cute bunnies and other cute things have the right to live in her world.

Re: Do You Interfere with Mother Nature?

I spent the day today ridding myself of 4 geckos from my lanai. They are allowed to coexist as long as they stay out of the house but when they come in - it is total war.

Re: Do You Interfere with Mother Nature?

I had a nasty encounter with a brown recluse, so unless it's a big black and yellow garden spider, it's gets gone ASAP.

I have a mouse at work that I'm feeding and everyone else is trying to kill off. He's so tiny and cute.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

Preds ~ Brown recluses are deadly, right? A few years ago there was a guy working on our stucko. I heard him scream like a girl. Went outside and found him smashing the spider into the stucco....it wasn't a recluse but the thing had fur.....And bless you for feeding that little...stuart little.....!

I don't blame you one bit. I don't do inside lizards. Outside, we have a working relationship, but once inside, my space has been invaded and I don't do invasion very well.

Re: Do You Interfere with Mother Nature?

I feed the deer.

I run off the red bird's who peck at our large front windows.

I chase off the wood pecker who loves to go at our stucco.

I feed the squirrels.

I kill any spider within my reach..due to being bitten by a brown recluse... painful surgery followed by hospitalization.

Scorpions..oh they are so dead if I find one...been bitten quite a few times...very painful experience.

Must I see this here? Haven't you caused us enough pain and grief? {#emotions_dlg.lol}

.....speaking of Spanx......

NAUGHTY KITTIES!{#emotions_dlg.devil2}

No..I do not kill ANYTHING!

I have "spider savers"..When they get in I relocate them to the park across the street...

My baby sis calls me a "bleeding heart, tree hugger"...

I do NOT think she means it as a compliment...{#emotions_dlg.lol}

Re: Do You Interfere with Mother Nature?

I love animals with a few exceptions: squirrels! (aka rats with bushy tails)...they are a real nuisance and eat birdseed as fast as I can put it out for the birds.....also bugs.....they are free to live outside but not inside.....and last but not least......fire ants! I go organic for our lawn but for fire ants I make an exception.....the more toxic the chemical I can find to destroy them, the better!{#emotions_dlg.devil2}

I've never had a scorpion bite me, but I've been stung by a few. It hurts! And yes, I will have them exterminated if I see any.
