Outlaw2747 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 I've shot more racoons around here than 'possums. The only time I came face to face with raccoons was when I was in Kentucky. They would straight up walk up to you. The opossums, I only saw them dead there but in Philly once in a while you can catch a glimpse of one plodding around bravely. Mice are extremely common here. It has been a while since I have been to a house with no mouse in it. Hell, there's one in my room lurking somewhere. Haven't seen any rats except for in the subway system. They are the kings there.

When I was thirteen, I shot a raccoon speeding along a railroad crosstie. The very next day, I nicked a feral cat. Mice are extremely common here.

I will take mice and rats over German Cockroaches any ol' day of the fucking week. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.

German roaches breed like no other. Had a friend bomb his house several times over and the fuckers still came back. Just not as bad. At least mouse don't get EVERYWHERE. German Cockroaches infest anything and everything possible.

At least mouse don't get EVERYWHERE. German Cockroaches infest anything and everything possible. My first house was close to Lake Lanier and was in an area where it was drained at one time to build a railroad. The area had a lot of sand as sediment and the yard was prone to flood. Hence the use of large railroad crossties close to the house. The wood roaches there were intolerable, not nearly as bad as their German cousins. Still equally nerve racking. Motherfuckers were two to four inches long. I found one sitting on top of my water faucet in my shower. The sonofabitch was at least 4 inches and was cleaning itself. How appropriate. I killed it with bleach. Two months later, I moved. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.

As much as I like entomology, cockroaches annoy the hell out of me and are quite nerve racking. And I really cannot stand ones that fly. The ones in Kentucky were about 2-3 inches long and the fuckers flew quite well. And they surprise the hell out of you. They'll just fly randomly. You open a drawer and one will fly out. They will buzz loudly around the room. And you find them anywhere. Again, I'll stick with the mice and rats. Alot easier to eradicate.
