We used to be loaded with ticks, chiggers, tarantulas, etc. about 15 years ago we had a 4 year drought that got rid of everything but grass burs. Then the fire ants arrived. We used we used to be loaded with rattlesnakes. I never considered them a problem and didn’t bother them. The the pigs arrived and I’ve run out of snakes of all kind. I liked the snakes better. An interesting thing is that, for the first time in the 30+ years that I’ve owned the place, I’m seeing jack rabbits.
Like Roseanne Rosana Danna (Gilda Radner, Saturday Night Live fame) was fond of saying, "It's always something".
