^Ticks, snakes, bears, mosquitos - these are things we'll see a
   lot LESS of now because they've got fewer places to hide
   anymore. Our backyard is getting safer and safer while still
   keeping the mystique of living near The Everglades. It's more
   "people friendly". Fixing old fears may be difficult (it hardly
   gets a mention) but time and patience and exposure can fix
   fears.^
