    And it works. Put two and two together a while back talking to my buddy "SafetyFirst" about how the bugs were killing him but not me and he wanted to know the secret. I'd never really considered it. And that's the only explanation
    Hubby says his pet flea and tick is twice as strong as his human insect repellant and has an extra ingredient effective for killing but not repelling.

    ya'll are making my skin crawl talking about ticks...I hate a tick, makes my skin pucker up just talking about it...



    stop it...I need a safe space closet lined with mirrors and lights that I can crawl in nekkid and look myself over...


    rather face 3 snakes, a centipede and a cowant than have ticks..pinch them tight close to the skin, and gently YANK those damn things out quick.




    by the way, I will cut anyone who ever throws a roach on me....they are a weakness for me....
    damn, now I have to spray with roach spray.....

    Please tell me you don't squeal like a little girl. ---- SAWMAN
    That was a bit mean but manly.
    And funny. :)

    But seriously, roaches are just filthy nuclear critters.
    If you have ever smashed one where that roach "blood" comes all out and you think its dead and you come back to sweep it and that one disgusting spikey leg is still crawling..you know the outrage it arises within.

    Spiders can also be fakers of death.
    Glad there are no reports of the hairy ones in Florida.
    Right?

    For the sake of your sanity I will not contradict you.
    Here this will set you mind at ease as long as someone does not let a pet one loose.
    You sound like a good soul and a good person for living in the panhandle.
    The tarantulas in Florida today are not actually native to the area. They're actually rare in the state. Some people do keep them as pets and tarantulas can make their way into Florida as stowaways in cargo boxes.

    Thank you, kindly!
    Of course, like the Burmese python problem in the Everglades...
    Well, my solution will be to buy a flame thrower for both the spiders and big roaches.
    Gun for the snake.
    I dont know how to kill a snake with a knife but will be opened to learning.
    I have a very nice Cold Steel Spartan and Hubby got a Bowie knife. The Bowie would give me more confidence - it's a solid weapon.

    Worst thing about stink bugs is the damage the young due to Rutgers Tomatoes! JMHO. Only cure is daily spraying with Sevin! Don't mess with the Tomatoes!

    I have not seen any scorpions in quite a while. The last time I had one on me was in Hentz's pasture over in Panama City many years ago. Maybe they are like cow killers, getting rare. I still always check my boots.

    At the hunting club just south of Ebro,we had quite a few of them.
    Usually found in a shooting tower or between a seat and the folded seat cushon in a ladder stand.
    Getting rid of them gets complecated. ---- SAWMAN
