The one animal I would eradicate from the planet...

Unless someone tell's me how chiggers benifit earth I'd like to see them wiped out. If the first chigger would make it self known so that I had the option to back out,I'd give them a pass and give Fire Ants the boot instead.
About 10 years ago I found a way to keep Fire Ant population in check with little if any impact on anything else.

Water Moccasins will chase you. As long as insects stay away from the buildings, I'll leave them alone. Chiggers can ruin your day, though.

Mosquitoes and gnats, they both can be eradicated.

Chiggers can ruin your day, though.

And hope no one notice's you scratching body parts involved with your ruined day.

Moles.

Moles.

With them no longer around,how will the boss know what people do and say behind his back?

I'd just like to get the coyotes out of the nabe. I busted a big (enough) female in Feb before she could hatch. Whatever males left and we had rabbits on our lawns again this spring/Summer but canis latrans are back already. btw, I leaned a winter double set (no fuss, no freeze) that'll work all year but hope to call and or use thermal to hunt 'em.

It was a little colder today than it has been, but I chose today to mow my pond (dry for a month or two), started with the Billy Goat brush mower then got tired and switched to the riding mower... started doing loops and noticed a swarm around an area... yellow jackets, I didn't investigate but will probably do on a colder day... to think just yesterday I found a basketball size nest of bumble bees... I think that's what it was, they were mostly black and pretty angry... put the mower in reverse and tripped over my spring tooth cultivator...

Chiggers and ticks and wasps...Oh My!

Reminds me of the time we moved from Central Oklahoma to SW Missouri...during the Summer. We rented an old farm house; beautiful area, and lots of goodies grew wild...like blackberries, walnuts, hazel nuts, possum grapes, etc. Us newbies spend a day picking wild blackberries...the chiggers and ticks almost ate us alive.

I lay down on a nice green lawn when we were visiting a relative. Just south of Omaha. My first and only encounter with chiggers. Not a pleasant experience.

Our yellow jackets are a different variety out here in Ea WA. Yellow with black bars. Make round paper nests on tree limbs. None are ground dwelling. They will come at you if you bother their nest. So will Bald Faced Hornets.

There is nothing so noxious around here that they need to be totally eliminated.
