They'd definitely take my money, probably won't find anything either, and laugh at me for being a wimp.

I have insects and frogs and skinks get in all the time here. It is a regular thing living this close to the woods. It's a blessing and a curse to have your own forest.

Spiders stress me out even more. I killed a black widow yesterday.

I have rabbits, foxes, deer, and wild turkeys in my yard on a regular basis. The opossum visit under the deck at night. I have an owl. There are all kinds of birds, bats and squirrels. Even coyotes. Snakes are just a part of the landscape. I'm trying not to let it stress me out.

The good news is that the opossum eat snakes. Maybe one of the opossums will handle the problem for me.

I put down some diatomaceous earth powder to see if anything tracks in, and that may help. I believe that it might be getting in via the dryer. So I'm zeroing in on that area since that's the last known location.
