You still can't come up with a plan. Until you do, you would look less foolish to avoid the question.

There was a family in Florida who followed advice like yours. In their case with regard bees. Bees settled into their rancher's roof's eaves. But the bees did not sting -- much. And after some years, why the honey that dripped through cracks in the ceiling tasted good.

Their plan was to live and let live. Tolerate an occassional nuisance. Not be bothered. Not be alarmed. Adjust to the buzzz. And indeed -- the homeowners appreciated that "free" honey.

Over years the bees built more and more combs -- colonies and honeycombs throughout the walls and eaves. They came to fill any vacant area.

Eventually the load of honey in the combs -- the weight of live bees collapsed the ceiling. The house was a total loss. The family was driven out.

The fruits of tolerance of slight nuisance, of inaction in the face of ignorable danger. Of living and letting live.

That's the basket of fresh stuff you have for sale.
