Cassie, I agree. I forgot completely about earwigs. They are very annoying pests and they like invading my old home on the east coast. Mosquitos is another creature that will never go away on the east coast. Too much moisture.

Rick:Flea bites rat... rat bites human... plague,and epidemic... at least that's what happened in the middle-ages.Neither fleas,or rats are good for the food chain. :eek:

My vote goes for the telemarketers.

Cockroaches, mice, horseflys

In that order!!

The telemarketers better watch out for you. LOL

When I proposed to my wife. On the beach. Guess what was attacking me? (Horseflys) Ouch!

Just get rid of the bugs... take them all... all of the insects and arachnids. Birds will still have worms. Anything else that needs them will figure out something else. I'll pollinate my own dang trees... LOL

Yup mosquitos are actually very important for the food chain. Swallows eat them too.

I love the telemarketers LOL. I would get rid of door-to-door vacuum salesman too, and anyone who was intolerant and nasty to others for no good reason.

Seriously though, I'd be happy if there were no carpet beetles, silverfish, or those gross worms that I keep finding in my wooden cupboards that get into the oatmeal. Eww.

Chava,

Did you ever have a problem with silverfish? The reason why I asked is I was first introduced too these criters like two years ago. Never seen them before. Of course I checked on the net and found out exactly what it was. I see them on a regular basis now.

Joe

Yes Joe I've lived in several places that were infested with silverfish. Especially as a kid, when I was with my biological mother, we were on welfare and lived in subsidized housing, where the little critters seemed to thrive. They're not the grossest bug I've ever seen, actually they're kind of interesting, and roaches are a lot worse. But I associate them with the poverty I experienced as a child, so they don't evoke very positive memories!

Chava,

Well I have heard they are more prominent in older buildings or houses. I would rather have these silverfish then anything else to be quite honestly they are a lot better then earwigs and cockroaches the later never had a problem with. Thank goodness.

Cockroaches--exterminate--exterminate
Quoted from the Daleks-DR. WHO

Cockroaches get the top vote.

They say cockroaches are the hardiest species of insect there are and can even survive an atomic explosion!(shivering with sudden fear!)

I do not know if I can live with that fear. Now I am going to try to eat without getting sick. );

Scary

GOOD LUCK! (scared to turn on kitcen light)

Yes cockroaches are disgusting! Actually I never saw one though growing up... I saw my first roach when I went to southern Ontario as an adult. Apparently where I'm living in Canada is far enough north that roaches are not common, even in older buildings. Maybe you guys should move here! ;)

OH YES! I HATE EARWIGS! They are eating my garden.
