      Er, um, to be fair, you should have included that I left immediately after you maced me. Calling the exterminator was insulting and unnecessary; I was already going.  Grrrrrrrr. 

    :(

    Twice. Fleas at one address, termites at another.

    frequently
    for raccoons.
    They set the cages
    catch them
    and release them
    somewhere...probably in the miles long park
    we have.

    No. When I have a problem with unwanted critters, I just shoot them. If they're not a problem, I leave them alone.

    Good luck shooting millions of termites before they eat your house.

    I'll use 12 ga. bird shot.

    This is a large city. We have mice and rats. Exterminators do a brisk business.

     I amend my previous answer: do you also consider dead animals to count? I’ve done that at least two or three times. Once it was a snake specialist, whatever they’re called, she advertised for extermination of reptiles and rodents.
