Not me. The rural part? Yes. But I can smell and feel the wet. In this type of place, you’ll be in a war of attrition against insects of all types. And mold and wood rot. Then there’s the wild animals or scary horror film neighbors.

the ticks have gotten so bad in recent years, it's actually a main reason I wouldn't want to move farther out from the city.

my dogs are too low to the ground and too fluffy to find the many ticks on them after being outside. hell they get ticks even inside city limits (in the green spaces) here.

we stopped taking a wonderful forest route at my parents' with them because it's just not worth finding ticks on them over the next 48 hours and having them crawl out onto you at night

Between lone star tick disease and deer prions I am not really all that interested in being in the woods proper anymore.

That’s why you get chickens or turkeys. They eat them.

Guinea fowl even more so

I lived here for several years. Every time you walk outside, an insect will find an orifice.
