So now days I come out with a soapy spray and spray the bush first, everything moves away, and then I trim it. Never saw an alligator in the gardens at Mallory perhaps maybe ones that face the golf course. I wonder if bear spray would work on alligators? I never hear anybody mentioning it.
The gators here seen relatively docil, probably well feed from fish and birds in the ponds. Just keep your distance.

Fire ants are my nemesis - especially thanks to an alleric reaction.
