Like someone said earlier, a snake you can usually see and deal with it. Wasps, yellow jackets etc....you may see them and you may not. You step on a jacket nest in the ground....get ready to have 15 cigarettes put out on your legs. Wasps have a real nasty habit of building nests in a bush, on the back side of a grill...and my personal favorite...when you're working a summer construction job and go to the warehouse to get some sawhorses...pick one up and suddenly you're in a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's, The Birds...except the birds are 3 pound red wasps with 2" stingers.

These were in an azalea shrub out front. Didn't even see em coming. Fuck em. Now, like you, I have about 14 bottles of super shot wasp spray. I take no chances.

I used to get them from the ex-wife. After she left, I have been trouble free for a long time. (except for the times my oldest was in country) The only thing I worry about now is someone messing with my kids.

Don't forget about the hobbit....

See wasp and spiders don't bother me. Not saying that I don't kill them on site, but they don't bother me that much.

I don't know why so many people on here are bothered by stuffy white people and a particular '80's hair metal bands.

Dammit, hell, shit, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

We had a neighbor kill a rattlesnake on his porch this evening. That is snake number 6 this year and the second poisonous one. First one was a copper head, but it might as well have been a king cobra. Last year I killed 3 myself and one was a rattlesnake. I have been here for 4 years, the subdivision is a little over 4 years old, I moved in when there were 7 houses, now there are 20 with 30 more empty, grown up lots. A horse farm is located to the west with a nasty snake infested pond about 100 ft from the neighbors house that killed the snake, there is timber to the north, cotton fields to the south and houses to the east across the road. Since I have been here, we have averaged about 6 snakes a year. Ugh!

Only two logical solutions as I see it. Either sell my house or burn the entire neighborhood to the ground. I haven't made my mind up as to which I will do, but if you see in the news "Crazy man burns entire subdivision over a snake" that will be me.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to burn everything to the ground? Do you realize how much of that I would have to buy to cover the entire neighborhood at least 2 inches?

My grandfather always told me that a nice thick hemp rope placed along your fence or property line will keep the snakes out. We had a nice piece of 2" thick rope along our fence growing up, and I never saw a snake in the back yard.

The obvious answer here is to build a rattlesnake fence.

Hemp. Illegal. The morons that make up the laws think that hemp is marijuana and can be smoked to get a high.

Trust me you be on the short list in the future, but these were all tied not only to family stuff but also shit from when I had the glass company in Birmingham, so the water is muddy to say the least. Hopefully when I move to another country in a couple of years I can just say "fuck'em".

I'm not an accountant or tax lawyer, but it seems to me you could better avoid audits if you didn't claim girlfriends as dependent minors

I have heard similar, the only difference was to use a regular rope dipped in kerosene.

Where there is a farm or field, there will be snakes. Hint: Field mice.

I didn't claim them.

I did try to write off the Disney matinees as "entertainment expenses" though.
