yeah, i don't think you can really eliminate them entirely

the main thing about them is they spawn in the canopy and drop down, so wearing hats and such can help, and during their seasons of spawning, checking all the pets and childrens and adults for them is mandatory

they are proof that the devil doesn't only pervert humanity, as per his other name "lord of the flies" those motherfuckers also... not as bad as ticks maybe, but in the same category
