VERY rarely do I run across a king snake. And yes, I DO know exactly what they look like. So emerald green they look black with a thousand yellow speckles on them like they were splattered in paint. There is also one that looks like a coral snake, though I have never seen one in my life in person.

Spiders are useful too right? I step on all I see. Don't want em near or around me..do YOU? What about wasps? They serve a purpose right? if it builds a nest in my BBQ pit, im sprayin it. You? Im not gonna learn about the wasp and what it needs to peacefully relocate.

Im done, I don't want to argue about this anymore. If you keep it up, Im going to kill three snakes in your name! lol
Well, it's good to see that strawmen made an appearance in your argument. That covers the big three for logical fallacies. There is no reasonable argument for killing nonvenomous snakes. There isn't even a reasonable argument for being scared of nonvenomous snakes unless you can't tell the difference between venomous and nonvenomous ones. They literally can't hurt you.

And I'll use insecticide in a heartbeat, but I'm not going to spray my pit with it. I'd far rather smoke them out.
