What about neighbor's trees dropping leaves on your yard?

Neighbors watching TV in their home after dark when every sensible person that has to work for a living is asleep?

I like to bang chicks with the windows open, so a TV on late at night is the least of this neighborhood's worries

You sound like a damn grinch. I would suggest a water oak - fast growing and will spread out in just a few years. And it will probably house some squirrels you can blast your frustrations out on.

Yes, there is. The acacia tree is the worst. You touch the tree and tons of acacia ants drop down and sting you (they live in the thorns and have a symbiotic relationship with the tree). It's about 100 times worse than a red ant. They have brought me to my knees on many occasions.

Where the hell do those live?

I would build a massive pallet and tire fire under it

Central America. They are basically wasps that can't fly. And, they are in every single acacia tree. You don't see the tree all of the time, either. But, if you touch it or even look at it, you are dive bombed by tons of those spawns of the devil. I've been close to using my EpiPen a few times. It's almost as bad as a bullet ant, but unlike a bullet ant, these bastards attack in numbers. It's not like stepping in an ant pile and being able to brush them off. They are in your hair, on your back and inside your clothes instantly.

EPA looking for you now.

Screw a oak. They are just as bad as pecan trees.

Plant a flower bed.

I have thousands of them. I try to just leave them alone. I'd take leaf litter over those trees in a second.

North America really is great.

Sure, we have cottonmouths, mosquitoes, and river birch trees. It isn't like Africa, Australia, or central/South America where every damn thing you pass by might kill you.

Sad thing is, only a matter of time before some dumbass plants one in Florida.

It would take a lifetime to kill them all. I know where most are, in the places I walk. We have an understanding now. I give them a wide berth.
