maggots

Well, I don't find fleas or mosquitoes quite as disgusting as maggots, but I think they are bout the 2 most useless creatures on Earth. Especially fleas... At least mosquitoes are eaten by a lot of different animals. Maggots too probably, but fleas?

I do not like anything that swarms or clumps together in a wriggling mass, such as ants or maggots. They really do not bother me individually or even when there are only a few, but the swarming or wriggling mass of them is what I find really creepy. I do not kill them, though, unless they pose a danger to myself or my family. I try to stay away from them, but I also try to respect life in its many forms, especially when it serves a purpose in the greater scheme of things, such as keeping the ecosystem in balance and disposing of waste.

I don't care too much for the ones you like. The rats are causing an issue for me currently because they keep digging into one of my pens.

STINK BUGS I hate every phuquin stink bug ever hatched. they should all be smited with great haste!

I like tortoises. I'd rather some one else did the actual killing if there's something around though. Where can I buy dog poison from?

Hello, Judith I agree with you there. Unfortunately, Tony seems to like them for fishing purposes. I'm not keen on moths either, but I'm not really brave enough to actually approach and kill one. I find them very threatening. They look at me all menacing, like. Did you realise how menacing those things can be? I've scared myself now - I need a vodka.

I hate spiders, a lot. They are ugly, crawly things and many spiders here are dangerous. Some of them can jump. I hate their furry legs. I erspecialy hate redback spiders.

I don't like maggots either because they just sit there and slither about. At least with flies you have the challange of swatting them with a fly swatter. Same goes for spiders. Did you know that we have spiders down here in Florida who are as big as your hand? Spray them and they lick their lips and come after you. So, I enjoy ticking them off with the spray and them smashing them with a shoe. Can't use a fly swatter on those buggers...they're liable to take it away from you.

Animals that repell me are monkeys, chimps, and such. Also pug dogs and cats with the mashed in faces. I just find them revoltingly ugly and pathetic. I wouldn't kill them but I don't go around them either.

I can't stand bees & wasps, with their constant buzzing and dive bombing when you least expect it, not too mention the occassional painful sting. Whilst they may have their purpose and even with their population decreasing I have no qualms about killing those which dare to wander in to my home during the summer.

Maggots don't bother me that much. They certainly get rid of putrid and decomposing flesh, which is a good thing as long as it's not mine. Some are even used medicinally to clean festering wounds, as they consume decay but leave healthy flesh alone. I think what bothers me the most is mosquitos, and I kill them every chance I get. I know their bite is the worst and can carry disease, but the high-pitch drone of the females really drives me batty. Fleas and ticks run a close 2nd and 3rd.

I hate June bugs...they dive bomb me, and gnats in the early summer bite! So do ground bees. I wouldn't want, either, to live with cockroaches or bedbugs...I've heard awful things about them! And once, about 5 years ago, I rented a beautiful house, only to find out the carpeting was full of fleas! The landlord had to have exterminators back 3 times to get rid of them...I moved!! And I don't like flies or mosquitoes. And yes, I would kill them rather than put up with them and the diseases they carry...all of the ones I've mentioned.

You have definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. There are a lot of things that I don't like: mice, snakes and spiders. However, I don't particularly find any of these revolting. The two things that I find to be revolting are maggots just like you have said and also roaches. I would kill maggots, roaches and spiders but I would never kill either of the other two regardless of the fact that I don't like them.

maggots creep me out a little too..I would add to my list earwigs, they are gross little creatures that like maggots just seem to appear from no where and they can never come alone, they bring every branch on their family tree with them. Would I kill an earwig? every time I find them, with no remorse, I kill them.

i am exposed to animals because of the nature of my work. i just don't like every time i am being bitten. i also pick maggots especially when i am preserving cats and rats. flies carry the eggs of the maggots so better get rid of them.

For me it's insects, spiders, snakes, mice and anything creepy that flies. I try to get them back outside alive if I can (if they sneak in the house) but if push comes to shove I kill them. I also do it quick so they don't suffer. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

Yes, maggots are pretty gross no matter how useful they are but I wouldn't want to get close enough to kill them... tho' actually, I probably would just stand and watch them wriggle.

I don't like anything that looks like it might stick to you, so leeches, slugs, snails, sea urchins, anything like that. OTher than that I'm not too bad with most things!
