I’ll start with midges/thunder bugs.

Little bastards get everywhere!

Moths. I have teeny tiny ones fly around every night. I don't have wool carpets. I have checked under my furniture regardless so where the fuck are they coming from ?

Buzzing, disease spreading, bastard flies.

Just flies.

Horrible, horrible flies.

Horse flies. Their bites become enormous on me and are itchy and painful for days, despite antihistamines.

Spiders. Absolute creepy fuckers

Clothes moths.
Check any woollens @Northernsoullover
They eat pretty much any natural fibres. I even found an infestation in the fat balls for the birds. Bane of my life

Fleas!

Least you can get rid of these though

Right now, thunder bugs!

I've just been out for a quick walk and I am covered in the blasted things, contemplating having a shower as I can now feel them when they aren't there!

Soubriquet · 16/07/2021 14:19

I know right! You feel every single little tickle from those gits

Fucking flies Angry I've just bought a zapper tennis racket and started frying the little bastards.

Flies. They are so unhygienic. They land on and eat dog poo. Then they fly into my house land on work surfaces

Cazzovuoi · 16/07/2021 15:25

Wasps. Pure evil.

If you'd asked me a week ago, I'd have said mosquitos, for the bites (I'm allergic to everything bitey) and the fear they induce when the whiney little buggers buzz past your ears at 4 in the morning. But last week I got bitten by a black/Blandford fly, and even after the swelling's gone down on my shin and ankle, I've still got the blister, the rash and the scab. So that's our local park out of bounds till about 10pm when the flies go to bed. Not good when you're stuck in a flat with a colicky 6-week-old and it's too hot to go outside during the day.
