Flies, ants, and wasps are a goner. The rest are left alone. Most anything else is welcome.

I did have an infestation of Norway Rats last summer after a neighbor did some digging for new patio. Those had to go...Sulfur Bombs.

{#emotions_dlg.ohmy}

I had a rat years ago that decided to move in when a house was built up the road. A huge woods rat. He would jump at me when I was working in the flower beds. I'm a good shot.Wink

I should have said stung rondell...errr they hurt. They are very scary looking too...like a mini bug from the dinosaur age.

Good description. They run really fast, too. I saw one chase after DH once. Those little creeps are brave, too. I hate them.

Yikes...I know. One night I was in bed with my new puppy laying on my legs.I was reading a book and happened to look at my doggy and saw a movement right near her while she was sleeping...it was scorpion headed right for me. I was afraid to jump thinking it might sting my dog. It was trucking so fast towards me I jumped and grabbed a magazine to whack it with. Has anyone tried to kill a scorpion on a soft surface? You CAN"T! I finally flipped it onto the floor and killed the little booger.{#emotions_dlg.crying}

OK!!! I'll take a brown recluse before I'd mess with a scorpion. Just seeing one of those would take me down. {#emotions_dlg.ohmy}

Total war? That doesn't sound like coexisting to me.

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.

Whoa, brown recluse? Those garden spiders are so pretty.

Mouse at work? I didn't know your worked at the Cold Mountain Penitentiary. {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

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.
