  YES. We got house centipedes 2 years ago at our old duplex. They love living in piles of laundry. Now I'm obsessive about nothing soft being on the floor. No blankets, no clothes.

  AAUUUU!! The pic sent me into a fit of heeby-jeebies!! lol!

  
  I don't mind one or two bugs, like a fly buzzing around or a spider in the corner..but any kind of bug that can get in and multiply *TWITCH!!* nightmares!!  I won't put blankets on the floor either. I get this weird feeling like something will be stuck to it if it touches the floor too long, even if there is nothing there.

  I'm the SAME way. I have severe fear of flying bugs though. Like I will see one flying and will drop to the floor screaming.

  My parents leave blankets on the floor for the dogs because they have only hardwood and cement flooring and I curled up with one of the blankets and a spider crawled out. I almost died. lol.

  We have these beetles that fly. OMG I almost died the first time I saw one. I seriously freaked out beyond all control.

   

  DH thinks I'm crazy

  Mine isn't weird, it is legit-I am fearing black widow spiders. We have had two of them (complete with red bellies) in the past month. I am constantly searching around the house and especially where she plays.

  DH thinks im crazy too about how freaked I get about pests. Any little speck on the ground I have to lean down and check that it's not moving lol. He finds it so funny because HE is the bug-phobe!! I am fine with one-off bugs... I take macro photos of the bugs that visit our balcony (ladybugs, wasps, flies, leaf-foot bugs etc) but pest bugs make me squirm.

  Macro Photo I took recently:

  Oh jeez. I would freak. Seriously have you thought about hiring an exterminator ?

  I had a friend in HS who lost half his leg to a brown recluse bite when he was 7 months old. It crawled in his jammies and his parents couldn't figure out why he was so upset until they took his jammies off and it had started eating at his flesh.

  YES that is definitely legit. Luckily we don't seem to have any dangrous bugs around here. (vancouver bc)

  Our apartment complex covers all extermination needs, thankfully. I just went to the front office and they sent someone out right away to identify then kill the first black widow. They came out within two days and sprayed our entire home. The second one I found was a few days later and it was already dead. I am assuming it died from the spray but I contacted our front office again. They will re-spray tomorrow.
