Mylotters? Which insect freaks you out the most if it were to be in your house?

For me it would have to be an earwig although if you added small mammals i'd say a mouse/rat. What about you?

Mice is what I'm scared of the most. They just seem to be so sneaky and move so fast. I can't really think of an insect that freaks me out.

Wasps! Wasps! Wasps! These are really dangerous insects. Once they give me a sting on my lower lips, after 5 mins i looked at myself in the mirror and couldnt recognize myself, my lips were so swollen I feared they would burst! My eyes were closing up and yet i thought I had reasonable distance between my lips and my eyes! It was a disaster-I look at a wasp today, I tremble because the memories are still fresh on my mind!

cockroaches funny - new name
I have pretty much had to deal with all the insects and mice myself so none of them freak me out. My granddaughter freaks out over all types of cockroaches. She can’t even go thru a door if they are any where near. She had on in her car the other day and I had to chase it out and get some spray after taking her to work She couldn’t drive to work by her self for fear it was still in the car. For my self I can set mice traps and if I see them running around it doesn’t get to me as far as freaking out. But I can’t empty a trap or even go near enough to take it to the garbage

Yes...earwigs are not too pleasant. We tend to get a lot of them around here in Canada. However, I hate coakroaches the most. They are so disgusting in my opinion. If there was anything else I could add it would be snakes. When I lived on a farm we used to have snakes that kept getting into the house. I hate snakes! cheers,

I love rats! Tame ones only though. I really really hate flies. I was rescuing a fly from inside a huge cold room at work and I carried it outside on my hand (he was a little slow). when I opened my hand to let him go I realised he'd layed maggots on me! I was absolutely disgusted. I went straight back inside and poured disinfectant all over my hand. It still disturbs me to think about it.

For me it would be spiders! UGH! I have goose bumps just typing that word. I hate any kind of spider no matter how big or small they are. I scream, run, and will climb on anything to get away from them. Then second for me would be the really big cockroaches. Here in Florida we actually call them palmetto bugs, but they look like a cockroach to me. Here lately we have had tons of them on the porch because of all the rain we have gotten. Rain seems to bring them out and into the house/porch. UGH!

Mice don't scare me so much, but they are unsanitary. And,they carry disease. Not pleasant. I'm not so afraid of mice because my big Tom Cat would hunt them down and erradicate them. He used to have a field day when we lived in the country. And, we got mice no matter how clean our house was. Nowadays, I'm horribly frightened by spiders. We have plenty of those here. I am so scared of them. Of course, maybe that's because I was bitten by a spider when I was a little kid. The spider bite paralyzed my arm for half an hour. And, my arm hurt really bad, like it was broken. I'm still carrying a grudge against spiders, can you tell?
