Wildlife on site

Anybody get any critters coming to say hello on the jobsite?
I’m sitting here waiting for a petrol tanker to finish delivering fuel to a new petrol station that I’m cleaning and a wild dingo just casually wanders through the site. No hard hat or boots . The OHS guy was fuming

Is a wild dingo just a wild dog? Or more of a coyote?

Just for you -

Interesting stuff!

I once had an IT ticket at a Condor sanctuary. :grin:

We owned two pure bred dingos in the 70’s my aunt was a keeper at the San Diego zoo & saved them from being put down, they loved children but kept their distance from adults they weren’t familiar with.

At least this one was just passing through, 2 weeks ago we had a couple trying to bust into the chickens. My property backs into Darwin river dam catchment area and we commonly see wildlife coming over the back hill and into our place which I like.
One day I heard a noise while my wife and I were watching tv and when I got up and investigated I found a half grown buffalo standing in my bathroom looking in the mirror… we both got quite a shock but some how it spun around and exited while slipping on the tiles narrowly missing a huge glass shower screen and glass door… we now keep the back door closed.

Buffalo and Bison are so cool!

I can top that believe it or not. 5 yesrs ago i moved into a house in enoree SC. It was a pretty big 2 storey house and in grrat condition. Not so good neighborhood and when ever the football games were on i could hear yelling and screaming coming from houses all down the street. My neighbor in front of my had 3 foot tall grass, a burn barrel 3 foot from his front porch and a partially caved in from. They were very filthy people. My first night there i moved my bed tv and recliner in to rest for the night. I was sitting in my recliner watching a dvd.

I kept feeling something crawling on me. Neck, arm, hand, in my shirt and even on my face. I realized quickly thus wasnt just one bug. I jumped up and turned on the light and i seen about 7 german cockroaches scatter. And had no clue they were German cockroaches just thought they was the normal Carolina “waterbugs”. After calming down i laid in bed and turned the tv down. After eating ramen noodles with a ton of hot sauce i went to the car and grabbed my tums because i was dieing of heartburn. I went to sleep feeling thungs crawling around. I was woke up to feeling things crawl over my body and had heartburn like crazy i shined my phone light on my tums bottle and ATLEAST 30 roaches came runing out of it . i jumped up and went in the kitchen and seen many more all around my pot i warmed the noodles up in. I bombed the house with 2 bombs in every room 5 bombs under the house and 3 bombs in the attic. No died bugs. Bought some $100 a gallon spray. No died bugs. I had to call a exterminator to come kill these things. He said they are almost impossible to kill that he would have to go back to the office and get the right chemicals. I ws charged about $100 a room and he had to vome out and do it twice. I had 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms a living eoom and a dinning roof.

Unreal, Asian water buffalo are huge how did the horns fit thru the door ? Have you hunted them ? Was it a cow ? Glad no damage was caused.

LOL, your thread derailer nickname appropriate.

Yeah those roaches are tuff , probably not much chance of those becoming extinct due to climate change lol

I may have posted this in the wrong thread, so here is my ‘wildlife’ picture.

I thought the first one was a fluke, until I found four more.

Ya that sucked. Ive never dealt with them before is that a brown recluse?

Yup, sure is. I go 22 years window cleaning without seeing one, then four at that one house.

Did you let them know?

I did, she called an exterminator but they didn’t want to leave the house with the cat and get charged $200 for bombing. She then called (a friend?) who said he’d never heard of a BR infestation in 20 years.

That’s all I got from her.
