Snakes early this year...

[Hoji]

We call them sewer roaches in AZ. Because when the city sprays the sewers you house becomes under siege. Fraking roach air force.

12 gage bird shot will take them down. A bofors is a bit much for individuals and too slow a rate of fire for an effective antiaircraft barrage.

I have taken them out of the air with a wakizashi( small katana) very satisfying to see two halves fall from the air.

A contractor was out trimming the easement power lines. My gimp ass is no long able to trim the tree off my roof, so I slip the lead man $100.00 to take care of me. It's like they shook the tree roaches into my attic ridge vents.

My wife grew up with them, but is still supper freaked out by them

 

[Sasquatch]

No. That is Texan for tree roaches.as in 2-3” long flying cockroaches.

Ok, add to my nightmare fuel. I've only seen cockroaches here in the PNW one time. Nasty bugs. Tree inhabiting 2-3 inch long roaches... guess I'll be carrying a can of Raid when I'm out too

"I swear officer, they formed a Megazord of roaches and came at me with a switchblade"

How often ya'll find the venomous kind of snakes in the urban areas?

Just once - if I'm the one who finds them. Then I relocate them to the more rural county landfill.

In Phoenix we have 5 inch long flying black beetles with huge pinchers.

I reckon I ain't familiar with the big bugs.
Prefer to remain so.

Nuke them from orbit, its the only way...

According to another thread on this site, the USS Wisconsin had some success using 16" guns. YMMV

Should I look back in this post and find the one I found? I’m inclined to believe the devil wouldn’t be a snake but one of those demonic looking things!

 

[Big Green]

@Sasquatch Do you know what we’re talking about? Honest question, they’re crazy looking.

Pro tip- they can bite through a leather glove and light you up.

Happened before cell phones had cameras.
Freaked me out. Called a friend that is a bug guy. Told me not to worry, glove caught most of the venom and asked if he could have the glove.
Next day there was a hole rotted in the finger of the glove where it bit through it.

 

[Hoji]

Yeah. Having been bit by one of those fuckers I would not do that for anything
