It seems we are amongst the few who truly appreciate the havoc that moths WILL eventually wreak on humans.The7Sins said:Moths. They are one of the few things I truly fear. I would gladly remove all moths from the earth.

Just gonna say, DEET isn't as effective of a repellent as people think. If you're willing to kill the entire ecosystem, it's marvelously effective at wiping out mosquito breeding, but it won't repel them unless they're way out of season. I live in bug country, and pure DEET doesn't even slow the bastards down from mid-May to late June. Still, they're better than black flies, that no repellent will slow them down(neither will most netting), and they're better than deer flies, which will pursue you even if you get into a vehicle and drive at highway speeds.SciMal said:Bed Bugs.
Sure, people complain about mosquitoes - but mosquitoes are easily taken care of with DEET and a few other repellents. Their life cycle is easily interrupted with other mosquitoes that don't harm humans, fish, putting oil on the still water, etc. etc. etc.
Bed Bugs, on the other hand, are hearty bastards that survived every pesticide humans could devise and feed exclusively off of you while you sleep. They breed quickly, they hide during the day, and the most effective way to remove them from your home is heating your ENTIRE home to 150 F for 6 hours (basically baking your house).
I've had roaches, mosquitoes don't bug me, spiders are usually friendly, but bed bugs were - by far - the worst experience I have ever had with the insect world. Worse than dysentery. I am not joking.
