Oh yeah!! TICKS!!! Especially those teeny tiny ones you can't see until you scratch and the head breaks off under the skin, and you get a sore, and the sore gets infected and never seems to want to heal and you go around with your entire body covered with Bandaids to keep you from scratching. Does any creature except spiders eat TICKS?
And if you have a kid in elementary school, think about head lice. Now, they are the little critters that serve absolutely no purpose except to get people to wash their hair more often and to be careful where they sleep.

Oh I had the grand experience of subbing for the school nurse last year during a head lice breakout...there's nothing quite like checking over 100 kids' heads for lice to make you itch for a couple of days after!
And why do we have slugs? Especially the big ones. Does anything eat them?
We had an invasion of them one summer. Somehow, they managed to crawl under the concrete slab of our kitchen, up through the sink plumbing, and into the dog food bowl.. When I saw them the next morning, there were 12 still in the bowl. I took the bowl and dumped them in the toilet.
Stopped it up. They must have been clinging onto the insides of the sewer pipe somehow. We had a terrible time getting it clear. 12, 3 inch slugs, make a big wad.
