Fire ants are evil. Some years ago I had a great Newfoundland dog who stuck his muzzle in one of their homes. It required an emergency trip to the vet.
And now I read that opossums carry cat fleas which can vector Rickettsia typhi. Even so, and with all the other natural critters, it's probably much better than an apartment with humans instead of the critters.

One winter we had 70 wild turkeys in our backyard. Pretty cool until you see that massive dumps they left in the snow.
You should absolutely make this into a children’s book!

You didn't mention mosquitos. They are somewhat less intimidating than bees, wasps and fire ants, but they need no coaxing to bite!
