I wouldn't call critters like spiders, skunks, coyotes, snakes or bats...pests since they were probably here before we were. We brought in the feral cats, hogs, roaches, rats and other invasive species.
Fire ants and mosquitoes need to die though...whether or not who was here first. One thing I don't miss about New York were the black flies that took off a chunk of your flesh.
