I Just Finished a Survey That Nearly Killed me

Oooh! I get so creeped out by ads for bug sprays with pictures of roaches and spiders. Oh, my! I just finished a survey that had picture after picture after picture of roaches, spiders, ants, stink bugs, centipedes, and silverfish. We had the exterminators here a few years ago and we have only had a couple of ants since. Roaches are so disgusting and make this weird clicking noise. It's like something out of a sci-fi movie. Ants just bug me and do their job basically. Spiders are horrific and I cannot abide them. The rest I hope stay hidden and if I see any I will screech for my grandson. He doesn't like them either but will take care of them for me. He's my hero.

I hate bugs too, and we have roaches. They attacked a pice of plastic I put in the trash and it sounded like rain almost. I just couldn't deal with it.

I can't either. I lose what little sanity I have when they are around.

@celticeagle I wish I could say I'm used to it. In a way, I am. because I've lived in florida my entire life. I see bugs every now and again. But, when I do I still get grossed out.

I hate most bugs, roachers are the most disgusting, but also stink bugs, as they smell really bad.

That does sound like a survey that would be hard to do. All those bugs and insects are nasty creatures

Yes, and you had to look at them over and over again.

I don't like bugs either. We get stink bugs sometimes. I make my mother get rid of them for me.

If I see a spider I am on high alert until my grandson comes and gets it for me. I can't abide them but can put up with the occasional ant.

I can't deal with bugs. Ants are the worst as they insist on crawling on me. Yikes! The other thing is the mice. We get them every year; and I hate them. Have a good day.

Ants seem to be hard to deal with here. Of all sizes and types. Proud you could finish the survey.

I had to quit doing a survey once because the pictures of the bugs got to me. That usually doesn’t affect me, but one time it absolutely did.

Many bugs are useful. But still not fun to have around

You're right but they aren't something I enjoy like birds or butterflies. They have their purposes too.

I hate insects, I don't like them very much, and I can't tolerate insects in the house.

I can deal with a roach...don't like them..rarely see one..been here 17 years and the only time I saw one was in the laundry room after my daughter came and did laundry..killed it. But those Palmetto bugs..that Fly!?! That will send me into a panic attack. I keep a fly swatter handy as I wear house slippers in the house and they just aren't sturdy enough to kill one of those monsters. Spiders are not good either, but not really scared of them. Had scorpions when I lived in Mexico, but not poinsonous. Other bugs don't bother me.

Oh, yes I have heard of the Palmetto bugs. We don't have them here thank goodness. Scorpions would be scary for me.
