Loading ...It’s more like “pick your poison” and learn to enjoy it. We have tiny sugar ants here that like to infest everything by the thousands, but they don’t bite and can be killed off with a combination of Borax, sugar, and water. I’m sure you already know that borax (boric acid) was the standard cockroach and ant killer years ago, but I’ve never lived where there were any cockroaches since I was about 3 years old in Oklahoma. Well now that I think about it I think we did have a few in Falls Church VA when I lived there just outside the DC Beltway.
Here in southern BC all we have is rattlesnakes, Cougars, coyotes, fox, and black bears for predators, and in the north where my ranch was we had all the same except no rattlesnakes, but also we had lotsa wolves and grizzly bears and of course 6-7 month long quite severe winters which could be more dangerous than the wildlife.
Over all this has been a great life and I’ve lived it to the fullest, accomplished everything I wanted to do, and have no regrets as I look back. My only regret is that I know I am reaching the end of my independence and I have to rely more on others rather than being able to take care of myself, but as many have said, it’s better than the alternative!
