It's Summer which means the really large waterbugs are out and they are everywhere! I'm gonna like hyperventilate because one is stuck in my ceiling fan and I can hear it running around, and I'm too scared to get it

I don't even want to stay at my house anymore!!!

I'm sorry, but this made me giggle. I understand though. We get mayflies here and while they don't bite or sting, they are creepy looking and I hate them. We also get big spiders... which I am TOTALLY afraid of.

Lol I've always been afraid of them, but being pregnant has magnified my fears x10 and I'm by myself so SO can't kill it :/ I wanna cry haha they are so disgusting!! This is the second I've found in the house.

I freakin hate water bugs. They are nasty giant roaches!! (atleast the ones we have here are) But you can just have one randomly since they are not like other roaches if that makes sense.. but I hate roaches probably as much as other people hate spiders or snakes or something. They freak me out!!! I remember when Adelyn was a nb there was one in my living room, no joke we stayed in the bedroom until dh got home to kill it lol!! I was so afraid that it was going to slip and fall off the celing and get hit by the fan and go flying at me! Ahh I'm getting chills just thinking about it lol! Spiders, yeah they are yuck but I can deal, grab a shoe and squish it. Roaches or worse water roaches and I'm freaking out!

Yeah, we just call them friggin' huge roaches here, too, LOL! Thankfully, they just randomly come in from outside from time to time (especially if you live near pine trees, those jokers love to hang out around those). We have an exterminator come because I can't stand them either!!!! I can handle spiders, most other bugs, snakes, even small rodents much better than I do roaches ***shudder*** Ugh...luckily if we see the random one in our house (very infrequently, thank goodness) they're either already dead or dying. Best $30 a month we spend is for our exterminating service. They really just concentrate on the outside of the house since we have kids and it works wonders.

Lol I laughed because that is exactly what I was afraid of, since that sucker flies, I didn't want it to land on the fan and come at me AGAIN because it started flying at me the first time, that's why I screamed lol I probably woke poor Coco up but those things are just so frigging brown and huge! haha that's the only thing I really hated about Cali Summers is the bugs. Black widows have been an issue as well, I'm constantly checking my shoes xD

I'm creeped out still because I still hear it in my head, the noise it makes when runs across the walls, ugh!

I have thing about grasshoppers - when I was in 9th grade I ended up freezing one for a science a project and I have had horrible guilt since then, and since we moved here we have thousands of grasshoppers in the summer - so far I haven't seen many, but ick! When they show up I know I will freak out - it is like they are out for revenge.

LOL, some of these responses are funny

I hate water bugs too. I haven't seen any yet this year. I know I will though, it is only a matter of time.

[amazing_love]

I can't say i've ever seen those bugs in my house thank goodness!!! I HATE bugs! I'm terrified of spiders. We used to get a lot coming into our house. Now that DH sprays with some stuff i found online we rarely have any issues with them.
