There's also rattlesnakes, scorpions and Giant Redhead Centipedes: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/texas-wildlife-offi...

We had a rattlesnake sun bathing in our back yard, we've killed 2 of those centipedes in our garage and 2 or 3 scorpions in the house (always look in your shoes).

There's also the red ants, vicious little creatures then of course the drought years followed by a flood year or two.

And don't get me started on allergies.
