Ten of the most annoying insects Horseflies are annoying outdoor insects that tend to remain around lakes, pools, ponds and barns. These flies are very large, sometimes more than an inch long, and are all black or light brown with green eyes. They are known for their very painful stings and feed on blood to survive. Although horseflies usually feed on cattle, they also tend to bite people and, with a single meal, they can drain up to 1 cc of blood, making them annoying and problematic.
Always unexpected visitors at picnics and barbecues, wasps are incredibly annoying scavengers. Paper wasps love sugar and look for it in sweet drinks, fruits and flower nectar. Unlike honey bees, wasps can sting multiple times because they don't lose their stingers, and they also sting with their powerful jaws. When the summer heat hits, wasps can become extremely aggressive and attack with little provocation.
In addition, since their aggression releases pheromones, it's possible that the whole colony will fall on you. They are as relentless as they are dangerous. With some 3,200 different mosquito species, these disgusting invertebrates are vectors of diseases, some of which are extremely harmful and even potentially fatal to humans. Mosquito-borne diseases cause several million deaths worldwide each year, making them one of the deadliest creatures on Earth.
Mosquitoes are attracted to body odors, heat, movement and, especially, the exhalation of carbon dioxide, so they are experts at finding us. They buzz around the head, bite you and leave behind painful, itchy bites. It could be said that mosquitoes are internationally considered to be the most annoying pest in history. Although technically not insects, since they are members of the arachnid family, spiders are pests known to be terrifying and extremely annoying.
Because of their creepy and macabre appearance, they are often considered to be scary rather than annoying, but there is one aspect that can make a spider infestation in or around the house a big headache. Whether it's riddled with basement spiders, house spiders, stray spiders, wolf spiders, etc. Your home has the potential to be invaded by cobwebs. If this is the case, unless professional intervention helps eradicate spiders at their source, you could be trapped in an endless cycle of dusting off the cobwebs and finding them all reconstructed in just a day or two.
There are approximately 160,000 different species of moths, and in the United States alone, nearly 11,000 different species have been identified of moths. When the sun goes down, these flying insects tend to flock to light sources and launch at full speed into a messy moth pit. These collections of light-obsessed insects can prevent you from enjoying the outdoors, invading your homes at night, and frustratingly crashing into you in a confusing flurry. If these behaviors aren't annoying enough, moths can destroy your closet.
The larvae of moths tend to make holes in clothes. While not all moth species do this, those that do can cause extensive and costly damage. In addition to being disgusting and creepy, bed bugs can make you feel like you're going crazy. Many times you can't see them, but you wake up in the morning covered in red sting marks.
They can also attack any home. They are experts at hiding and traveling undetected, making them impossible to avoid and very difficult to control. Today, a fifth of Americans know someone who has had problems with bed bugs or who has experienced a bed bug invasion in their own home, making it the most commonly spread pest in the United States today. These tiny insects make annoying little rings. Most of the time they annoy people when you try to enjoy from the open air.
They usually travel in a giant, changing swarm known as a “mosquito ghost”, and are known to sometimes congregate around people's heads, being as annoying as they can be. Most of us experience the simple discomfort of itching after a mosquito bite. However, at any time, if you feel nauseous, lightheaded, or short of breath, seek immediate medical attention. Keep it clean, plain and simple. Mosquitoes love water and moist, dark areas of debris.
Whether they are bedbugs, mosquitoes, wasps or cockroaches, regardless of what time of year you are in, there is a good chance that Southerners will face one or the other annoying bug. This one is a little more understandable. After all, it's quite annoying when all you can hear on a beautiful spring day is the deafening hum of cicadas. There's also the fact that large insects are quite unsettling to look at, but finding only the layer of skin they leave behind is something worse.
Ants may be small, but they still manage to be more annoying than many insects twice their size. We suppose it probably has something to do with the way they invade our homes and infest our yards. Oh, and there's also all that biting. While these little bloodsuckers only rank seventh on this list, it could be argued that they are actually worse than mosquitoes because people who don't see see bite the same thing, but don't see it coming because they're so small.
That means you don't even have the satisfaction of crushing them. Discovering that your pet has fleas and has brought them to your house is like a punch in the stomach, and it's easy to understand why. A flea infestation can occur quickly and is difficult to get rid of. Even if you manage to eliminate them all, you'll always be a little paranoid because of that little itch you just felt in the back of your head.
While mosquitoes are small and harmless, they have earned a spot in the top five on our list because no matter how many times you hit them, they always come back to flutter around your eyes once again. While that determination is often admired, in this case it's very, very annoying. Trees were introduced to American suburbs in the 1960s because they could grow in many places, didn't look bad, and were quite resistant to disease. I think it's a very interesting question. You didn't ask how to deal with the lack of Southern heat.
You specified: “Southern summer heat.” And the “sadness” that accompanies it. Let me try to understand that I am sad because it is not 97 degrees with 92% humidity all day, every day, since my bad air conditioning unit, which has been in its last phase for the last 2 summers, has difficulty traveling by bus during the night because even when it was completely dark outside it only went down to 83 degrees. For me, this will be an exercise that will suspend disbelief.
