Replace "piece of shit" with "avoid this asshole". Take these jerks over mosquitoes or ticks any day.

Haven't even thought about ticks in a few years. I cultured my property to encourage a diverse local fauna, which results in very few of the fuckers.

Have any resources to share on how you did it?

I'm trying to do the same, and always appreciate details of someone's success stories.

That was my tongue in cheek way of saying I'm lazy as fuck and have a ton of polk salad everywhere. I generally just let whatever grow unless it's mimosa, I kill mimosa the moment I see it.

Also I have plenty of opossums, deer, groundhogs, and wherever else. I relocate armadillos because they seem to really like digging around my foundation.

Lol. Nice. I'm going with more or less the same, but I have dreams (delusions?) that I'll get it all organized and nice looking, someday, while still pretty wild.
