well how are you going to pull weeds out of a 1 acre lawn?

I don't kill snakes in my yard, but I would if it were poison. I have tiny poodles and also a mentally handicapped child who have no idea that poison snakes are to be avoided. If my son got bit, he wouldn't even have a way to tell me. And I'm pretty sure a 4 lb dog would not live after being bitten by a venomous snake.
I had a brown recluse spider in my son's toy box yesterday in the house. I am spraying all along the outside foundation of my house and setting off bombs under my crawl space. We have had a LOT of rain this year so I think that is why the critters have been so bad lately. I came in one morning after receiving 5 inches of rain and finding my crawl space flooded, to find jillions of ants all over my kitchen. I poisoned them. Ants are fine outside -but not in my house. The mosquitoes now are numerous from all the rain I guess. I try my best to use as little chemicals as possible, but I do protect my home, pets, and kids. Japanese Beetles have ate all the leaves off my fruit trees. I finally sprayed them to save what I could. There are hundreds of them. What am I going to do, let them eat the foliage off of everything? It is pretty nutty to think hundreds of flying beetles can be picked off by hand on 8-10 ft tall trees Shrug!
