Weevils and staring cockroaches
1. Weevils. Yes, the little crawly moth larvae. I went into the kitchen one morning to find a whole bunch had hatched overnight and were now crawling over every centimeter of the ceiling and walls. Lets just say it was a little too much to handle first thing in the morning, and I was overcome by disgust. From that point on the sight or even the thought of them made me feel sick and my skin crawl. I have had to work really hard to desensitise myself to them, because I was getting so grossed out it was getting ridiculous.
2. Cockroaches. I am not afraid of the ones that you spot crawling up the wall, I will grab a shoe and whack them without hesitation. However, there is one incident that freaked me out and left me with an uneasy feeling about the buggers. I was asleep in the middle of the night when I woke up with a jolt, absolutely sure that someone was staring at me. Now I am a very good sleeper, and I haven't had this feeling before or since. I turned on my bedside light only to find a cockroach standing at eye level on the table next to me. Instead of running away when I turned on the light it just stood there staring at me and it totally freaked me out! When I finally woke up enough to try and kill it, it scurried into my chest of drawers full of my clothes! It took about an hour and a can of bug spray before I was sure it was dead. The feeling when I woke up hasn't left me to this day!
