I’m a gardener and every time someone approaches my door to solicit pest management, I ask if it will kill the wasps and spiders. Every single time they share an excited yes, I get to tell them that I don’t kill my gardening coworkers.
Wasps and spiders eat the bugs that eat my crops. Pesticides also greatly increase your risk of health issues. No thank you.

Once I listened to a pest control guy and he said “I bet you’ve noticed a lot of wolf spiders in your yard”, to which I agreed.
He told me that their pest control dumps a shit load of pest control spray that should keep them away for a while. I asked, “but isn’t that where they live? Outside?”
He didn’t seem to understand how someone could belive that the spiders should be allowed to live outside.

Love that reply. Father of a friend paves every green spot in his property with stone floorings step by step for years now and sprays ant poison everywhere. He’s really really pissed about them ants minding their own business (like… just normal ants, not even fire ants or smth).
My response is always a “the fucking audacity of those ants. Building their colony just right there in the ground outside! Don’t they know this is your property?!”
