| | I was just wondering if anyone wants to mention their favorite vermin and how they're getting on. I've got mites, mostly dust mites, but I'm sure there are others feeding on my rotting carcass at night as I lay there, mouth half open, drool pooling on the pillow cover. I've had fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms, but they didn't stick around with the alcohol poisoning. There are all manner of pests crawling about at any given time. What's your personal favorite?
Anyone here from Worms, Nebraska? Just wondering. Fine place, Worms... |

I hate pests. The pest problem we've in our locality is due to Mosquitos and Termites. We've covered our windows with nets and doors with an extra glass door.

Our house is infested with termites- one wall has already fallen in in the bathroom. We also have a lot of spiders around- hunstmen, trapdoor and funnel webs

My dog just had puppies that make lots of squeaky noises, does that count? Our house has cockroaches. It drives me nutts. My boyfriend's house has them too. and sometimes when the fruit in the fruit bowl doesn't get thrown out, we get fruit flies.

Box Elder bugs. Reminds me of what we call "stink bugs" around here. Those damn things will absolutely find any slight crevice to exploit in the fall to gain entry into the house. We sometimes have twenty or thirty of them in the bathroom in the evening. The females are round and dark grey and the males are longer and a rust color. You can zap them with your finger, sending them sailing across the room and still they'll manage to get up and fly about some more making this annoying buzzing noise as they clumsily seek some kind of footing to land on while circling the light on the ceiling. And don't irritate them or they'll spray out this most foul odor stinking up the place for a while. I imagine that's why they have few if any predators eating them. Only the hungriest spider will go for a disgusting meal of stink bug. If a skunk could be an armored insect, it'd be a stink bug.

Mice. Definatly, without a doubt, Mice. I hate those %(%$&(_!(_&)&%_(^@^%$&) things. We have tried everything to kill out the little varmits. Poison, traps, those electronic gizmo's, you name it. This fall we even bug bombed the kennel building and as soon as the gas from those dissipated we fired up the old tractor and ran a pipe under the kennel building and tried to gas the little suckers. (yes, we removed all the dogs first, in case you are wondering) I even tried leaving the dogs out for some time after the gassing hopeing they would starve out without any of the dogs food to steal. Nothing is working. I hate those pests. They are so destructive and eat up everything and crap all over everything. Anybody got any clues as to how to kill them out? Any ways to make cheap mouse poison? That works? QUOTE My dog just had puppies that make lots of squeaky noises, does that count? Nope, puppies don't count as pests, they are far too cute!  What kind of puppies do you have? QUOTE Our house has cockroaches. It drives me nutts. My boyfriend's house has them too. and sometimes when the fruit in the fruit bowl doesn't get thrown out, we get fruit flies. Oh yea, I hate those too, but at least you can kill them out. A friend of mine had a real bad problem with them. You could actually smell them in the house. One day their phone stopped working and they had to call a repair man out to work on it. When he took the phone off the wall it looked like a black explosion, roaches just flew out by the hundreds and ran up the walls, it was really embarrassing for my friend.

I just went to the toilet, and I was happily pooping away when I realised I was not alone. Alas, the hunstman spider struck again, this time it was right next to me. My reaction: AHHHHHHHHHH *screams* Now of course that hurt really bad as I had a big long stick of poop, part of which went back in... Me: 0 Hunstman Spider: 1 I will kill one of their kind someday... and it better be soon. We also have heaps of mosquitos around, its summer here. But lately it hasnt been that hot so they haven't ventured inside.

Annoying Bathroom Flies
What Pests Do You Have?
There are these annoying tiny brown flies I have here in my bathroom (Singapore). They make the place look dirty, especially when they die and the water makes them stick onto the walls, shower foam bottles, shampoo bottles, you name it. One press with your finger and the wretched bug is dead. Sometimes they will fly to the ceiling and "camp" there until they are sure nobody will use the toilet for a long time.
(Just imagine a swarm of these flies crawling all over your ceiling...)
(By the way, I don't know what they're called. If anybody knows, please reply to this post. :) -reply by Kelvin

I don't have any pests, and really this topic is a bit confusing and disgusting.

I've had some problems with ants and common house bugs, especially during summer....which is quite remarkable since I live on the 2nd floor. The ants really climb up the block of flats and enter the apartments. I saw on House M.D. that you can get naphthalene poisoning from the termits that live in the walls of your apartment. Actually, a teenager almost got killed until they figured it out...creepy, you'd rather take the termit thingy a bit seriously.

I think that what I hate the most are the earwigs we get in the summer when it's hot and humid. They absolutely gross me out and there are so many of them. They're everywhere in the garden. In the flower beds under leaves and hiding under plant pots on the deck and under rocks and stones. When they have the nerve to come into the house, I immediately pick them up with a tissue and flush them down the toilet. LOL at A200's post

This is really funny.. When I saw this topic in the list.. I though it was a duplicate of "What pets do you have?" but guess not.. I have cockroaches, lizards, spiders and mosquitoes vandalizing my place.. But cockroaches are not a problem as I have 2 cats and 2 dogs  Lizards are! My mother is scared of them so whenever a lizard is in the same room as her, I have to remove them It was a pleasure reading A200's post
