Biography:

I think bugs and spiders are fascinating, and I have no problem with them if they stay out of my home and don't infest my back yard. But once they come into my territory, the war is on. I haven't met a bug population I couldn't control (Except 17-year cicadas). I recently moved to Arizona, which has a slew of massive bugs I've never seen before (Palo Verde beetles? Eeek!). I joined this so I could learn more about some of the other possible pests I may encounter in the desert.
