Since I was very young I have been uncomfortable about killing critters.

That feeling has got stronger over the years.

I will catch and relocate just about anything in the house that shouldn’t be there ... from memory this has included multiple spiders including several funnel webs, a couple of small snakes including I think a baby brown and some harmless tree snakes and pythons, bandicoots, several small native marsupials, a very large red belly black snake from the back yard, crickets, geckos, several blue tongues from the yard, even large revolting summer cockroaches and of course multiple cicadas.

A couple of bull ants post sting got a rare stomping.

I would always try to catch and relocate rather than kill.

Mrs Dex and Ms Dex reckon I am mad, but they do rely on me for removals lol.

Hope you give cane toads the short sharp treatment

Relocated from Darwin back to Sydney in 1987 when I heard Qld Cane Toads were on the way lol.

I still remember the sickening feeling of not being able to dodge cane toads on the road in the north Qld wet season in 1980 ... there must have thousands of them km after km ... just sitting there.
