I hate bugs!

[Callender Girl]

I LOVE your hit squad, Capricorn Farm! They look ready for action!

I hate ticks -- especially when they show up on my dog, who is not allowed on the side of the property where the poultry (running chew toys, in her view) live. Removing them from me or the dog grosses me out.

And FLIES!!! Where there is bird poop, there are flies by the gazillions. At least half a gazillion find their way into my house where I swat like a crazy woman, scaring the bejeebers out of my dog, who always looks like she thinks I may come after her next.

Flies are filthy creatures that grow from disgusting maggots and torment my poultry, sheep and goats. I need to buy stock in the company that makes the hanging traps that dot my yard and pastures. Ugh!!!

Without a doubt, TICKS! Disease carrying useless parasites. Ever since we had chickens ticks not an issue

I had Lyme disease, it's no fun. Spend an hour a day at least checking the dogs for ticks and fleas.

I have been scrubbing walls in some of the coops, the spiders are all over the place. Why can't they just stay outside?
