Now that's a plus I hadn't thought of. Bet you've got your share of other pesky critters, though. Like.....er.....um.....do y'all even have pesky critters in snow country?
LOL
In winter...racoons, coyotes, rabbits, deer, squirrels and mice.
...and, much more rarely, wolves, black bear and cougar.
We have gnats, ticks, mosquitoes, black flies, wasps, hornets, Asian Lady Beetles.....but not now. However, when it warms up to 30 above, the ticks become active again.
The rural problem in these low temps is the voles. They are so small, they can squeeze in under the house and will come inside through the smallest space available. Traps take care of them. They must smell bad, because the cat and the dog just watch them and don’t even bother.
