Top 10 Most Annoying Insects


Splatt welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 most annoying insects the
cockroach doesn’t really have a brain
per se but it has instinct and a
ferocious desire to survive and
reproduce for this list we’re counting
down the biggest assholes of the Insecta
class and how they inspire both a deep
sense of annoyance and temporary
psychosis within us spiders
being arachnids rather than insects
don’t count cuz I’m scared to death and
we all are
number 10 horse flies my scalp hurts
from horse flight bites
why don’t you freeze it with an ice cube
and hit it with a hammer yeah that one
away and it comes back always wanting
more why can’t the horse fly just leave
us alone
well our collective outdoor misery falls
mainly on the females of the species
horseflies particularly females target
animals their long mandibles rip open
the skin to drink blood they’re the ones
that seek our blood for protein in order
to produce equally annoying offspring
you are becoming an annoying oh boy but
swatting time is here what are the male
horse flies do just kick back and chill
probably because they’re too damn weak
to do any biting themselves that is a
scientific fact horse fly bites make a
big impact which is something we cannot
say about those damn deer flies number 9
earwigs
what’s that fit your wick
with a name that’s popularly thought to
have come from an old wives tale about
an insect that burrows into the human
brain to lay its eggs these long and
skinny jerks had to make the list they
do not crawl into ears all right that’s
what an earwig is it’s cold dot then it
just because it has the name air in it
means it goes into your ear
they boast pincers squirt smelly liquid
and self defense and you may be
surprised to learn they have wings yep
they can fly though they usually don’t
which just annoys us even more they just
crawl around your dampest rooms at night
and hide out during the day in the
cracks and crevices just waiting to make
their move your wigs are one of those
sorta crazy-looking insects that you
might see when you turn over stone in
the backyard honestly we can’t help but
think of this scene from Wrath of Khan
every time we hear the word earwig
accurate or not
number eight wasps it’s not hard to
imagine Jerry Seinfeld’s dissecting the
very nature of this deeply annoying
insect what is the deal with wasps
they’re not a bee they’re not an ant I
mean come on what they are is bleeping
annoying with their colorful
Yellowjackets that make us feel guilty
when we swap them down but seriously bee
sting but at least they make honey
wasps not only don’t make honey they
steal honey from bees I don’t want to
tangle with a bunch of wasps hey do I
wash my honey no wasps do not make honey
all right well good check it out anyway
there could be something delicious in
here that wasps do make just who the
hell do they think they are the wasp
inspired military technology and even
superheroes and they certainly inspire
temporary madness within the average
human being sure they can take down
other pests but we still hate em dislike
them with a passion what may be costume
number seven fleas when a flea bites an
animal its saliva causes irritation and
itching these are the bastard insects of
Mother Nature that take advantage of our
pets the flea can live as long as 18
months and once they reach adulthood
they seek out blood from our cats and
dogs normally I have a very sweet
disposition as a dog in fact more than
once James suggested that I make the
change permanent the tail I could leave
with fleas then murder
they don’t have wings but they do have
genitalia and claws however they’re so
damn repulsive that most people don’t
really care about their biological
makeup no matter how much we love our
children and furry pets we all dread the
day when they come home with fleas or
another terrible pest lice as we slowly
fall to our knees and scream out why Oh
knits what I’m afraid sir you have head
lice on I’m not gonna be able to deal
with you today you’re joking
how embarrassing number six the ladybug
also known as the Harlequin ladybird
Eva Leyva fly away home yeah go down
oh hey ladybug what a cute name you have
you look harmless actually you’re kind
of cute but we still despise your
existence I am up is no more harmful
than a ladybug okay these tiny insects
aren’t all that bad it’s just that the
Asian lady beetle is freaking everywhere
crawling around and sometimes crawling
on our bodies nobody loses control of
their bladder when the Asian lady beetle
appears but we know what they’re up to
they’re busy annoying the hell out of
practically everybody and what is up
with that stench probably about two or
three years ago they were really bad and
we you know use vacuum cleaners to try
to suck them up because they’d get in
the house and then they died number five
cockroaches nobody enjoys the company of
cockroaches in fact most people will
immediately squash them even if it ruins
their favorite book we have an innate
need to destroy these little monsters
but they’re damn speed makes that hard
to do sometimes a person awakens to the
sight of a cockroach sharing their
pillow which raises the distinct
possibility that it’s already crawled in
and around their mouth the cockroach is
more than just a pest it’s the
international symbol for everything
awful plus they’re damn near invincible
that’s only half a cockroach number for
bed bugs bed bugs they’re a big problem
in New York right now I don’t have bed
bugs Kenneth I went to Princeton
scholars refer to them as Cimex
lectularius and they’ve long consumed
the minds and beds of philosophers even
Aristotle referenced their existence on
what must have been a particularly
annoying afternoon in ancient Greece
travelers have been known to experience
a special relationship with bedbugs
which may be unwanted gifts left behind
by other travelers our tiny insect
friends can literally make us go mad
from their pestering and propensity to
suck our blood they’re always hungry
bedbugs are attracted to us by the
carbon dioxide in our breath and also
the heat from our bodies with all the
international travelling going on today
somebody needs to invent a mobile bed
bug detector already so that we can all
sleep in peace so the night sleep tight
and don’t let the bedbugs bite
because there are literally thousands of
them number three
gnats midges and black flies so you can
see the midge is feeding on my arm now
in her abdomen is filling full of blood
you can see actually turning red while
many insects destroy the tranquility of
our home lives other infuriating pests
make us pay for trying to enjoy the
great outdoors it’s fruit gnats Matt now
that’s got little bitty things you know
Nats Nats like to travel in packs called
a ghost of gnats almost as if to say
let’s bite the hell out of those campers
while midges spread disease to livestock
black flies they also spread sickness
but mostly just wander around like they
don’t know what the heck’s going on
that’s why never lamb so the lizards
have to leave for their
these type of insects play a major role
in most outdoor excursions biting their
way into family discussions and
thoroughly invading our nightmares
number two carpenter ants also known as
sugar ants they’re called carpenter ants
because they did burrows into decaying
trees or soft trees and they’re
basically just using their jaws to know
their way in these strange creatures
don’t play a role in erecting log cabins
but they do essentially hang out like a
bunch of bum insects because that’s what
they are bums kappa notice pensylvanicus
alternately known as a carpenter ant
sure carpenter ants won’t eat your place
down after all they don’t consume would
like equally annoying termites but they
do enjoy building nests in wood mainly
in dead or damp areas as well as slowly
diminishing the value of homes once you
find the satellite nest treat them with
a suitable product get a vacuum cleaner
and try and suck them all up that’s way
worse than their also annoying picnic
ruining brethren under the right
conditions male and female carpenter
ants will actually have sex while flying
in the air
you know nuptial flight which always
ends badly for the male given the
certain death that follows and don’t
even get us started on exploding ants
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions have
you ever had fruit flies in your house
they look kind of like those tiny gnats
or just annoying and they usually show
up in your kitchen Oh a cricket I love
cricket it’s a trouble noisy bugs what
they get to do whatever they want
number one mosquitoes we are all
literally itching for a solution to
these flying biting annoying little
disease spreading insect jerk faces
doesn’t matter what you are and phibian
bird or mammal the mosquito will find
you imagine Liam Neeson from taken and
then imagine him with an insect face I
will look for you
I will find you and I will kill you
that’s the mosquito and they do have a
particular set of skills mosquitoes
don’t just linger around and make a
scratch
nope they set up shop on our skin and
just suck await our blood with extreme
focus
they leave bytes all over our bodies and
can make our lives miserable with the
constant scratching and when you do kill
them they often leave a bloody smudge on
your arm or wall oh and they also carry
deadly diseases to all corners of the
world
so thanks mosquitoes you guys suck
literally the number one thing that
everyone tells me is that why do you
keep the skeeters alive
why aren’t you finding ways to kill them
and I explained that we actually have to
keep them alive so we can find better
ways of killing them do you agree with
