Hello! As the title shows my family is going to be moving to Kentucky from Alaska. We are looking at Lexington and surrounding areas. We are a family with 2 kids and a dog.

But the issue I'm running into. Neither my husband or I have lived outside of Alaska. Visited the states a couple times for a few months but never lived there.

We dont have snakes or bugs that can kill you here. Everything that could be a threat to your life is very large and very easily avoided lol.

Ive been doing some reading on bugs and snakes, but all the information I'm getting is overwhelming but still doesn't feel like enough.

So short story long, do you have any tips? Tricks to avoid spiders in your house?At least the harmful ones. How to keep venomous snakes out of your yard? Things to know when hiking or visiting parks to keep curious kids and a dog safe and out of the hospital? What even do you do about ticks? Are they even avoidable?

Not to be dramatic, but I've never had to manage around snakes or venomous spiders. This is a whole new way of living for both of us. So anything is useful and helpful.

Thank you!
