I have to admit that they absolutely do! Anything ranging from ants to moths, cockroaches to spiders - ugh! No thanks!

You?

I have absolutely no problem with any of them. I let them be and they have always let me be.

@Krumple,

Humans bug me more than bugs.

Aren't humans just bigger bugs?

I don't kill humans so I don' kill bugs.

All you can do is have clean surfaces and try not to encourage infestations by being as ordered and less messy as possible.

Prevention not extermination.

Wonder why honey is becoming so darned expensive? You know bees are in decline and that this is a real world threat,
so if you ever get a bee in your house take the time to catch it and let it out the window instead of squashing them.
I would not squash a human so why squash a bug?

The only creepy crawly I ever had a problem with (even a slight phobia) were slugs until I saw this set of programs, if you get the chance to watch David Attenborough anything watch this series 'Life in the undergrowth'
YouTube - Weird mating calls of the leopard slug - Life in the Undergrowth - BBC Attenborough

Without bugs we are all in trouble.

I love spiders and beetles.
I encourage spiders to thwart my summer fruit fly problems,
there is a natural solution and balancer to any creature in the kingdom we call creature.
Before using chemicals think of the natural cycles and introduce or encourage the natural enemy of anything that may bug you with another bug.
They can and will take of it for you.

Yes, thank you both. Nature has a beautiful balance that these living, experiencing creatures are a part of so if you have a problem with them well, you have a problem.

As sun said prevention not extermination.

It is wrong to call such things as pests, they are the opposite, they keep the balance. Humans are much bigger pests, just look at the situation in the gulf of Mexico.

They don't have mosquitoes where you live?

Well in terms of nature keeping balance would malaria not be an ingenious demarcation to the impact of 6 billion+ humans on Earth? not so great for the individuals however.

@Soul Brother,

Hi,

I have no problem with bugs. I find them fantastic for macroshot photographs. I do throw slugs over my hedge though, into the neighbours garden, not because I don't like them - Because they eat my veggies. Spiders are fine too, as long as they don't take me by surprise - Then again, I guess if a kangaroo ran accross the parlour floor late at night - That would likely startle me as much as any sprinting spider.

Have a bug-free day, All

Mark...

@mark noble,

Why do they call eaves dropping devices 'bugs'? Is it just because they are usually small? Don't know they are there but are?

I like this. We are the bugs and it takes another bug to population control us.

I bug myself more than bugs do.
I am trying my hardest to let them be. The world was with bugs before it was with humans.

Bug yeah some bugs bug me; that gives me no right to kill any of them.
