    Where do you live? Is it a land that doesn’t do screens? In Florida, of you don’t have screens the wildlife just comes inside.

    I kill 2 or 3 in the time that I’m outside. It would be more but the sun is trying to kill us right now so I stay inside with air conditioning.

        Oh god, the pictures in my head, LMAO.

        “Ma! There’s a danged ole black bear stuck to the back porch screen!”

        “Well poke it loose with the broom!”

        You sleep late thinking the sun is low. Nope. Gator spread eagle on your bedroom window.

        “God. Damnit. Not again”

        Wife rolls over in bed,

        “Stop bitching and go get the gator spray.”

        “We used it all!”

        “Then why didn’t you buy more?!”

        I put it on our shopping list. You forgot last time you went to Winn Dixie.”

          When I was visiting for my honeymoon, they were so thick you literally could not avoid stepping on them. We tried for the first day or two, but when there’s not much visible sidewalk between them, eventually you let lizard jesus protect his own.

      Screens are rare and the house is rented. Mosquitos and the occasional moth are the only wildlife that come in through the window

        You can get nets for your windows that are temporary. No need to add an extra screen door or something. Well worth the money (not much).
