I live in the country too....close to Conway
Honestly, I have never lived in the country and I'm glad I rent......I'm a city girl and hate all bugs. So when my lease is up, off I move to the city, well, somewhere where I don't have to drive 15-20min to get to civilization!
I had my first sight at a black widow hanging out on my front door!

I then proceeded to spay like a maniac!!
I live near a lake too, so if its not buggies, it's geese
