Default Spiders, snakes, gators ...what's in the bushes?
I like doing my own weeding .... But down here in Florida I worry about what's in the bushes when I put my hands in. I've read messages about black widow spiders, snakes, Round-up, even gators in the ferns. What have you seen? What do the landscapers do ? Thrash the bushes with a rake first to see if anything comes out? Wear long gloves in the heat?
