If you are like most people, you are vermin adverse. As electrical interplay increases between Earth and passing objects, it will force vermin out of the ground. As part of mentally preparing for the coming serious changes, this little exercise might help you toughen up. Look at pictures of creepy crawlers and slimy slitherers (actually, they are dry) until you feel the panic subside.
My favorite is the potato bug. They look like they are from outer space. I stepped on one in Santa Barbara and it kept walking, with my foot and full weight on it. http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3Dpotato%2Bbug%2Bimages&w=160&h=120&imgurl=www.bing.com%2Fimages%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dpotato%2Bbug%2Bimages%23focal%3D5b965f59c34afa880bd68927385307a9%26furl%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252ffarm3.static.flickr.com%252f2421%252f3920050657_cb3502afdc_z.jpg%253fzz%253d1&size=&name=search&rcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2Fimages%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dpotato%2Bbug%2Bimages%23focal%3D5b965f59c34afa880bd68927385307a9%26furl%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252ffarm3.static.flickr.com%252f2421%252f3920050657_cb3502afdc_z.jpg%253fzz%253d1&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2Fimages%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dpotato%2Bbug%2Bimages%23focal%3D5b965f59c34afa880bd68927385307a9%26furl%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252ffarm3.static.flickr.com%252f2421%252f3920050657_cb3502afdc_z.jpg%253fzz%253d1&p=potato+bug&type=&no=2&tt=115&oid=http%3A%2F%2Fts4.mm.bing.net%2Fimages%2Fthumbnail.aspx%3Fq%3D995359328059%26id%3D6829263e61dfdb80eeaa87dce4536616&tit=potato+bug+while+out+in+my+yard+i+found+this+potato+bug+also+called+...&sigr=15kb5fkh2&sigi=15d9ih297&sigb=11r5bmm4l&fr=yfp-t-701
Get a basic education of bugs and snakes so you will know them when you see them. Find out what's poisonous and what's not, what to do if poisonous. Last summer, someone in my family was bit by a brown recluse. She nearly died. One hospital turned her away, saying bah, humbug. I gave her a mixture of essential oils and it helped...drew the venom out, maybe saved her life. I have also heard that solder quickly packed on a venomous bite will draw venom out. One man did this and saved his wife's life.
Update 8/9/2011: Two large yellow jackets got in the car. 7-year-old Danielle absolutely freaked out. She lost her mind. No, she didn't get stung but imagine a child refusing to do as you say, screaming her head off, sure the bees were following her, out to get her, running, refusing to get back in the car (after they were gone). Totally uncontrollable...over two bees. This demonstrates some kind of sedative is going to be needed. If you have children, talk to your health care provider or pharmacist.
