Are you not worried at least about animals? (Cats, dogs, mice, rats,
raccoons, skunks, pigeons, snakes, mosquitos, wasps, crickets, ants,
etc.)

Cats are harmless, dogs don't tend to wander off form their owners, the
smaller ones could go through windows anyway.


Years ago neighbor had a cat door and his son came down one morning to
see a raccoon eating cat food. Rabies is endemic here and he was lucky
it was not rabid.

I had an open garage door and neighbors dog chewed up one of my boots.
Birds would often try to nest in the garage and a few times I shut to
door to find a bird trapped in the garage.
