My point is you’ll hear from all sorts of folks telling about their benefits, v they have to be respected, yadda yadda...
No. Kill it. It wants to kill yo, so don’t feel bad about killing it.
Bees are another thing. I know what they mean to the environment. But they set up a hive on my property and start coming after me I don’t care about “oh, just don’t bother them” apparently my existence bothers them and I control fire at my whim so I win.
I agree. We have killer-type bees here. Some built a nest in the wall of my house. Finally had an exterminator kill them and remove the nest from the wall. $500 and worth every dollar! I hear about how bees are disappearing but in the spring our trees HUM with them!
I like rattlesnakes in the wild but I spent $2000 saving our Border Collie puppy (now 13) after a baby one bit him. I’ve killed 5’ rattlers in my yard. Happily, other snakes have moved in and out competed the rattlesnakes for the last 10 years.
