I can handle rodents...they don't freak me out too much. Cockroaches are disgusting. But the insect that truly freaks me out he most.....SPIDERS. They just have THE WORST effect on me! I have a true phobia of spiders. I see one and I just go all hee-bee-jee-bee-ish. lol I'm not too freaked out by little ones. But the bigger ones.......*shutter* No thank you!

Oh, yes. We exist. And it's funny becuase I can handle most other insects, rodents, even snakes. But the bigger the spider, the worse I react. And we have pretty big spiders around here! I live in the mountains in Missouri...Only about 2 hours north of Arkansas. And I'm not used to big spiders. I grew up in Massachusetts and they don't get too big out there. And it's really funny that I'm not afraid of daddy long legs. I don't even mind picking them up if they're in my house to get rid of them. Maybe it's because we used to go camping a lot when I was a kid and that's what you normally see for spiders when you camp. But the big, ugly, gross spiders......I just can't handle them.

When I lived in Texas and in Mississippi we got flying cockroaches. I swear these things were large enough to carry off young children! Ok, maybe just the small dog, but they were huge and they made a horrible sound when they'd fly. Nothing I did seemed to ever work to get rid of them either. No amount of Orkin, self sprays with Raid ever did the trick. I swear that roaches will be around long after we humans stop existing. And the german roaches are the worst because they get into everything!
I'm not a fan of mice either. I hate them to be honest. I had them in one apartment down in Mississippi and I just cringed. I had one bold one that would literally run out and sit watching us. I think he was mocking us to be honest. Maybe they have some sick twisted since of humor or something.

Cockroach are the one who used to fright me all the times. Specially when they are going over my leg. Geee! That feeling make me shiver all the times.
Since my childhood, I had this bad feeling against cockroach. Other than than I am afraid of mole because they can actually bite you!

i really hate and freak the heck out of me when a cockroach is flying as if it's walking in a park. flying like a crazy brat.
i can stand if a rat as big as cat roams around, i'll pick a stone, and just hit it with my full might hahaha

Just like you, rodents and insects like cockraoches freak me out, big time! cockroaches and rodents are horrible! and yes, both are deadly too.. we should always keep our surroundings clean, keep our food in proper storage area(covered and sealed carefully), dispose your garbage properly, etc..
