Okay, I'm jumping on the JFF bandwagon!

I just had the unfortunate horror of spotting a nasty bug skitter across my kitchen floor. By the time I got my shoe on it had escaped underneath the baseboard. I'm not sure if it was a spider or one of those nasty house centipedes, but it was big. We live in a condo on the second floor, so we honestly don't have too many critters. I wish I had never seen it, because now I can't stop thinking about where did it go, and what if it gets in my bedroom, or my son's room. *shudder*

Anyone else get totally skeeved out by nasty spiders and creepy crawlies in your house?

What can I do next?

HI S.,

I use a line of cleaning products that actually repel bugs. It's a good thing too. My 15 year old daughter still screams when a moth, yes moth, comes near her, lol!

I can't stand roaches and some bugs (beetle type or crickets), spiders don't bother me for whatever reason. I have pest control come spray every other month to keep the roaches out :o) I also did the allergy thing in 2006 where they put rows on your back and prick you with needles of different things and I found out I'm actually allergic to whatever roaches carry, so there another reason lol.

I like bugs.
But, sure, noxious bugs I do not like.

Since childhood, I have had bugs as pets.
My parents let me.
My kids now, have bugs as pets too. ie: Pill bugs, crickets, even a lizard.

But sure I hate ants and roaches and spiders and centipedes. Except for Daddy-Long-Leg spiders. Those are good spiders.

I even wanted to be an Entomologist, when I was a kid.

I hate bugs in my house too. BUT..... Think of our world without them. They take care of the ugly stuff and we don't even notice. Guess they do a great job, huh?

Centipedes! I believe those are the things you are talking about. Yes those things are so dang fast and creepy too. With the rainy wet Spring we've had, I think they're going to be a HUGE problem this year. Spiders too.

I despise all cooties. I am not a fan of rodents or snakes..but i would rather deal with them than bugs..there are certain cootie species such as roaches, grasshoppers & crickets that make my skin crawl -basically anything that has long antenna's and can jump or fly. My husband finds this amusing. When i was younger i found a roach on my bed ( i lived in a large apartment complex) i was so freaked out i passed out & when i hit the floor the neighbors below called 911 and the fire dept came to check things out. I was embrassed trying to explain what happened to all the good looking firemen ( and my roomates who came home in the middle of it) and just an fyi aqua net hairspray kills allmost anything dead instantly! Even roaches....

Bugs never bothered me before until I arrived in Philadelphia (from CA) for training 11 days ago. The hotel is half full of bed bugs and there was a centipede crawling down the conference room wall the other day. So gross!!!

Ants, I hate ants they give me creeps make my skin crawl I dont know why. We have a ton of them in our yard and about once a month I go on a killing spree.
Spiders didnt used to bother me at all until a house we lived in was infested with Hobo spiders, they are some nasty little creatures now I am totally freaked out by any spider for fear it is one of those evil little devils.
