I am just not understanding how these individuals manage to avoid and becomes very scared to these little creatures,when in fact most of it manage to run away from people it encounters in its daily adventures.Sometimes it is tickling me most often when I observed someone avoids because he/she was afraid of a rodent.My friend who is very masculine is afraid to an approaching lizard which stick into his foot,that I have to help him take it out inside his pants.I could not imagine how scared he was
yet was near collapsing due to his extreme phobia.My neighbor was also afraid of a flying cockroach that I have to raid it out because she was already immovable.Can you tell me what are you afraid at? Why are you afraid of this small animal?

I am not afraid of either one, i usually have them inside my collection box, feed them daily and witness the small creautre develop into full growth insect. They are such a group of cool small insects that hardly pose any threat to an adult, i can't understand the phobia from some growth up too, it just puzzle me.

Yes you are right there my friend.I think these people who have phobia to these little creature have some bad experience during their younger years that develop from
hatred to the creatures,then they are aware upon seeing the little animals until they are afraid of it which turns out to be their phobia.I have a friend who use to play with my other friends.We are having a bit to watch a spider fight until the other spider was bitten and was tied up by the winning spider,so my friend was the winner of one spider.When he take out his spider he was bitten.From that day on he was already afraid of all sorts of spider.I ask him why he was already afraid of it that the simple answer was that he was already aware to face his phobia.

Hi, my friend, tell you the fact of human lie, i can give you a dozen of reason for wanting to hurt or kill an animal or insect; even though they are not harmful to anyone most of the time. I'm sure you know that some human being are the worst living things on earth compare to animals, bug and insect,... .

I am an animal lover yet I do not love mosquitoes,flies,lice,ticks,cockroaches,which I think you also collect.Some of it are also useful like the butterflies,moths,bees because it pollinates the plants.The bees with its yummy honey.

You are right there my friend yet humans are different from the fierce animals because no human being ever end the killing eating his enemy unlike an animal which brutally kills you then also eats you up.Now,who is more dangerous?

If you meant to the art of killing techniques,yes humans are more skillful than animals yet as I have emphasized you animals are more savage than humans because it could turn your bones to break and then shallow you into its stomach then just go to sleep to prepare for another victim.

I am very sorry that you are afraid of the rodents.My mother was also very afraid of this animals.I know how it feels to be afraid of it as what my mother and sister are also reacting when there are rats in the house.Rats are really very dirty and it is the carrier of many diseases especially the liptospyroses- a disease from the urine of rats which are found abundant in flood waters.It is a very dangerous ailment because it affects the liver to those affected who tried to pass bye a flooded area with their feet has an open wound.So be very careful not to be infected by this disease.

I hate spiders. Afraid, yes, I guess I would freak if one crawled on me, and whenever I am at my mom's and I put on my housecoat from her closet, I nearly tear it apart shaking it and looking it over before putting it on because it had a spider crawling up the neck of it once and after all some of them when they bite disolve and rot your skin and leave an ugly hole.
Snakes, hate 'em. Why? Cause where I used to live, they were everywhere--on my porch crawling passed my screen door, about 6 feet long. In a bird house with its head resting on the little round doorway and out by the rosebushes. I moved. Too many snakes and ticks. Hate ticks. It makes me sick to think those little creeps stick their heads in MY skin and get blood. Oh, I hate them!
And cockroaches. They are so nasty to me. And they can multiply so fast and crawl on everything. I live two places where if you bombed them they ran next door or if they bombed downstairs, they ran upstairs. No gettin rid of 'em. I hate 'em so bad! I beat 'em and beat 'em if I see ONE in my house cause they are not supposed to be there and if one shows up it's had it.

I felt the nervousness you experience when encountering such spiders,snakes.I have a friend who is also afraid of it.I may not be so afraid of snakes yet I am afraid of its bites and venom.Our neighbor was bitten by a snake which is not very big yet we immediately bring him to the hospital for an immediate medication for his condition.
It is really very scary that we tried to give him first aid before we go to the hospital.Cockroaches are really very dirty and they multiply very fast,really.I get raid of it immediately by spraying it in its hiding places,then I make ready my trash can and broom--This is to make sure the roach can not lay its eggs when dying so that is can end up in the trash can with my detergent solution to make sure its eggs when hatching all its baby roach will die instantly.

Recently, I wanted to rent this lovely place in the country close to my daughter and grandson and I had mad up my mind to go with it and paid what was asked, but after I went in and started cleaning, I found there were signs of roaches every where and also I actually saw about 5 live ones on the floor. This was after they had told me there were no roaches there.
I went back to the owner and told him I wanted to back out on the deal cause there were roaches and they were a nuisance and you can't hardly get rid of them. I was as nice as I could about it, but I've had the roach experience and didn't want it again. He wouldn't bother to volunteer to work on it either. He was just upset with me, so I had to just let it go.

These insects are actually all around us everywhere we go because even if you were very neat and wants to have a very clean surroundings these roaches or mosquitoes and flies are always following our ways.I even made my house covered my windows and doors with aluminum screens so that these rodents,flies,mosquitoes can not penetrate
my house.I have manage to spray a powerful solution against white ants not to destroy my house for a longer time.I am still not very satisfied with the spraying so I suggested to inject salt water to post of my house to have more safety condition against these pest that are coming to destroy my house.I have bought some mouse traps for the rats,with the mouse and fly sticky pads.You see I am very ready to get raid out these pest out of my house and surroundings.

I do not like mosquitoes either.Same as the snakes and roach.I am not afraid of it all yet I am afraid of the diseases it produce and brings out.I just make ready my insecticide to raid it all.I am just becoming ready with snakes when we are going to the fields or mountains for some trips to the south.
