I ended up having hundreds - HUNDREDS - of the blasted huge things around my home this past year. It was terrifying. But I didn't exterminate. I let them be.

I've never been camping. I want to camp in the desert sometime. I am born & raised in Chicago, where the only living danger is human. Is camping in the desert a terrible idea due to all the critters? Any stories?

Oh my gosh, hiss , I have SO MANY southwestern camping stories! I will start a new thread on that today! I love camping in the desert. You do need to watch out for : scorpions, rattlers and other snakes, coyotes, fire ants, tarantulas... but depending on where you stake your tent, you may not become a vulture's dinner.
