They have been brainwashed into thinking it is necessary.
It is an unnecessary evil here and runs rampant.
People should call a pest control company if the have a REAL problem -- not an imaginary one or one the they they might have in the future.

We get those real tiny ants around the dry cat food dishes once in awhile so I'll put some traps out. The few bugs that have gotten in are soon discovered by the cats. And when we first moved in we had some red ants but I put Amdro on those and haven't had any more. Maybe there are more bug problems in the older areas that have more mature trees.

I hear you both loud and clear.
I doubt that any of us are fans of indiscriminate pollution of our environment.
Probably we have been brainwashed by Pest Control Companies.
If we were full-time residents, we could better monitor the situation.
When we are absent for extended periods, it makes us nervous
to think of bugs munching on our lawn, or ants playing volleyball in our kitchen.
