Me: God I can’t wait until we move to the beautiful house in the woods. Me, after five days: What is with all these God damned FLIES?

1. Understandable 2. Think about all the beautiful flowers they can pollinate. 3. And you can sell the honey to fund your motorsports team.

Our old place (not woodland at all) has horrible ant problems every summer. The worst being the time I turned on the tub intending to move the diverter to shower. And we'll, the faucet was now an ant faucet. Thousands and thousands of them.

Critters have eaten key pieces of the house! Squirrels eat the masonry around the chimney. Every window frame looks like goats have been at it.

If they’re inside the house I highly recommend one of these or something like it. Fixed the fly problem in my woodland house no sweat.

Product listing for a UV fly vacuum.

Try the disco ball method. Just put shiny objects around it freaks them out

Cannot recommend an electric fly swatter enough. Fun, satisfying and highly effective!

I've never seen a porcupine in the wild, but we are 95% sure we had a young one living in the wall behind our shower for a bit in our old place. You could hear the quills rubbing against the wall.
