ignoring the obvious fact that you're effectively declaring entire clades of sentient animals to be basically biological waste because i know im going to make exactly zero headway with a human supremacist in this comment; if the primary consideration were pests, wouldn't stones or pavement be a more ideal solution than grass with all the maintenance and upkeep that requires being baked into the law?
What the fuck. Really human supremist now.
be proud. get it on a t-shirt. let the whole world know. start a movement. keep killing animals in your basement. die an ironic death.
Grass seed is significantly cheaper and faster than stones and pavement. Grass also provides some water retention during rain, helping reduce demand on storm drains.
Yes you will not make headway with this human supremacist for the fact that I have zero interest in paying thousands of dollars in repairs. Because some coon decided to live in my crawl space and fuck my shit up. Or worse yet, have a rat chew up wires and burn my house down. Fun fact, rats love the texture of Romex wire on their teeth.
i take it back. i made a very small amount of headway with a human supremacist
edit: "coon" tasteful, bud. fun fact, humans love the texture of gunmetal in their hands. hey have you considered maybe its your fault for living in a house that's not built to resist invasion? modern materials and construction techniques work wonders in allowing humans to pretend the natural world they're raping for resources doesn't exist. but no, it must be the animals seeking shelter, they must be murdered for their inconvenient audacity of wanting to be fucking alive. because you have zero interest in paying for any alternative solutions. it's not in your interest to have empathy for other living creatures. empathy is a sin. you didnt rape all those resources just to spend them on anything or anyone else. those resources are for you. that's why god put those animals there and you in charge of them, because you know best.
i hope you seek shelter and are murdered for the attempt by someone who looks at you the same way you look at a rat.
i feel comfortable declaring centipedes, you know those ones that look like eyelashes? those are biological waste because they freak me the fuck out. every time i see one i have nightmares for a week i'm going to wake up with beautiful gorgeous long eyelashes, but they'll turn out to just be centipedes with a thing for my eye juices. if they have any other purpose in the universe than giving me eye juice nightmares i don't want to hear it
Oh, are you talking about House Centipedes? Great for controlling other insects in your house!
And also, at my current phase in my life, the closest thing I'll have to some creature cuddling me at night.
i use wolf spiders for house insect control. currently Gary is on duty
That's funny, my kids named the basement spider "Terry" and they take pictures whenever he shows up.
i fucking hate ants (hyperope, can't see them til they bite my ass), and Gary does a good job of patrolling the spots they enter and eating them. he's a cool dude.
House centipedes eat ants.
they also eat Gary and he's pretty cool
