Can of spray and a Bic lighter...no more wasp worries.
Size 12 shoe...no more spider worries
Snakes...those you can nuke from orbit for me. I hate snakes.
For snakes, my preferred weapon is a shovel. Long enough to be out of range and easy to slice them apart with. Garden hoes work also. My mother was bitten by a copperhead on the foot when I was a kid. She grabbed the hoe from my aunt and chopped up the snake before they took her to the hospital.
IMO, snakes are easier to deal with as they really do stand out once you get used to spotting them. You just learn to watch the ground where you are walking. As a kid running around a small patch of woods down this way, between ants, cow manure, and snakes, you learned to watch where you put your feet.
I think I am more bothered by big spiders and scorpions than snakes.
