Poisonous snakes are exceptionally well designed rodent eating machines. A guy I met living in Texas had killed a huge rattlesnake that was on his rear deck, and he sliced it open to see what was inside. The snake had 7 rats, 4 from the current evening, 3 from the day before.
My wife was bit by a brown recluse spider about 10 years ago. Now she makes it a mission to kill any and every spider she sees (poinsonous or not). Then, she wonders why we have so many moths, flies and bees in the house.
Some folks don't understand you've got to give a little to get a little.
