We all have that one bug bothering us, whether it's a fly persistently landing on our food or ants trespassing in our pantry. In our latest Eureka poll, we asked, 'Which bug encounter is the most distressing?'. Over 36,482 of you responded, so let’s delve into what your bug fears tell us!

At the top of the list, a whopping 31% of you found seeing a cockroach scuttle across the floor the most distressing. Coming in second with 30% was finding a spider in your bed. Does it sound familiar? It might be because these are common phobias. Entomophobia, the fear of insects, can manifest specifically as Arachnophobia (spiders) or Katsaridaphobia (cockroaches). But it's not just the fear - it's also about the 'yuck factor'. These bugs are often associated with dirtiness, sparking concerns about hygiene.
