You may not have that new house smell for long then. :)
We don't live in the country, but by a forest, and so we see constant critters. My dad was over here the other day and he said he threw a rotten tomato from the garden into the forest, and he saw a swarm of critters immediately run to the rotten tomato. He said there was so many and it happened so fast, he couldn't even tell what they were. :)
Then the deer have discovered our garden recently and so every once in a while I'll look out, and see a whole family of deer eating off the tomato plants. So no wonder, we haven't had any tomatoes lately. And I keep finding huge masses of deer poop in the yard. That's not good for doing my earthing. :)
