Cockroaches!! EWW!

Leo and I have been out watering the gardens and pottering around outside.  When I moved the BBQ cockroaches came running out, Leo was in hysterics at me squealing and jumping away like a little girl!!  Now spiders I dont mind, and I can even pick up the dead rats the cat brings home (what did we get a cat again for?!?  lol). But cockroaches make me cringe every time and I cant stand the revolting little germy creatures!

What creepy crawly things are you afraid of??

Eww cockroaches creep me out too. I used to get them in the classroom all the time and I'd have boys on cockroach patrol, I'd make them take them to the far corner of the field lol. They can live through fire ya know. Someone told me that if there was a nuclear explosion, they'd be the only living thing that could survive. Don't know if that's true or not but it makes me even more creeped out!

Ewwwwww gross, i've got cold shivers just thinking about it .

I have heard that too arohanui about cockroaches as well.

We get our house sprayed for ants and it does all those creepy crawlies. Costs about $200 a year but it sooo worth it. Its really rare to see anything inside at all, but if I do, I know it won't be alive for very long!

Were you in Milford? We flatted there for a while and apparently that whole area has a BAD cockroach problem. Our house was overrun by them when we moved in - to the point that one fell off the ceiling onto a book I was reading one night. These weren't the little fellas either but those big oval shaped ones.

That being said my most feared insect is the preying mantis - swivelly head and beady eyes *shivers*

Ooo Bobbie we get preying mantis' in our house all the time. Little baby ones. They're soooo cute!

We've been getting a few cockroaches lately too, must be their season. Yuk. I get DH to remove them

I absolutely HATE mice though. Makes me feel nauseous just thinking about it. We had them take over our home when I was young (10?) and you'd open a drawer and one would scamper away etc. I couldn't handle being in the lounge on my own in the mornings cause I could hear them going around the room even though I couldn't see them. Ew ew ewwww

I find birds trapped inside really freaky though, always think they are gonna fly their beak straight into my face or something.

Spot the city girl LOL!!!
