I test myself against nature every day. In the winter I turn on the heat. In the summer I turn on the AC. I have a fridge to preserve food. I have a lawn mower to tame the jungle.
Shoes protect my feet.
A vacuum cleaner helps keep nature out of my house, as do dust cloths and various cleaning sprays. If we have ants, we put out traps. D-con is great for mice. (Cats work too, but they are brutal on carpet. Plus they are mean.)
There is a long list of tools I use to keep nature at bay.
So far I’m winning.
Yes, but the really key point is, are you prepared for the next time a crocodile invades your house?
