OH yeah!! I completely understand the nature-type interference of our complex lifestyle - if you remember, I posted a comment about a snakie that decided to get chopped up by my A/C unit about 3 months ago. No issues cause except a very nasty odor and some flies for a while. And I felt horrible about the snakie.

We bought a cover for the a/c to try and avoid that happening again but that caused another issue. The cover slowly blows open when the a/c fan turns on and allows whatever has settled on top of it to slide off. Unfortunately, the a/c unit is right next to my bird room and the opening of the cover caused hysteria every time it happened - birds screaming, throwing themselves around the room or huddling in corners for the entire day waiting for it to happen again. So it was either block the windows or remove the cover. Needless to say, we removed the cover.

PS - I hate earwigs. . .they give me the heebie jeebies.
