Only things I really kill are cockroaches, rats, and mice. Though the snakes and owls usually take care of any small rodents.

We also use insect safe plant sprays and the like. Or if my yard gets grubs I just get more nematodes and add them in. Ant or aphid problem and in comes the lady bugs. For awhile had a mosquito problem due to a close creek. Instead of buying an expensive propane or natural gas eliminator (we do have west Nile) I invested a few bucks and assembled a few bat houses and had them installed on my hillside in the pine trees. One year latter and I have plenty of bats and next to no mosquitoes and moths anymore.

Ok I am a freak, but I care about my property and the animals that live on it.
