Scariest Bugs

These are not the bugs that you usually encounter as technical errors in your software or hardware, or like Volkswagen bug car problems auto repair specialists work on, we are talking about real life, crazy ass, terrifyingly large and impeccably small yet destructive bugs! There are thousands of species hemipterans (the scientific name for bugs), they come in different sizes, colors and level of danger and eccentricity. It is nearly impossible to fathom the kind of features they hold and what are they capable of. Here are some of the scariest, weirdest and most intriguing bug creatures of the world. All the bug buffs (if there are any such people) out there are going to go mad!

Giant Orb-Weaver Spiders

If you have seen tarantulas and thought they were creepy, well… giant orb-weaver spiders are giant, some female genus can literally grow larger than the size of a human hand! They are hatched in warm and damper regions of the world and they also come in golden color. However, the most petrifying thing that you probably don’t know about them is that they prey on birds, large birds even. It’s absurd to even imagine their long claw like legs and venomous poison fatal to humans.

Cicadas

Remember when I stated crazy ass bugs, so, cicadas are known for their outlandish lifecycles. They materialize all at once every 14-17 years which is weird. I thought it was just the sound they make but they are through and through creepy. But most of all why do you think are they terrifying? Because they move… no… fly in swarms, in a swarm of thousands while, the only swarm we like is swarm of poodles but no! And tall guys can be unlucky for once if they confuse you for trees and lay their eggs on you.

Bullet Ants

They sound like something that James Bond would carry. And he would, if only he knew how vital they can be in a battle. They have miniscule spikes all over their miniscule body that stings 10 times harsher than a bee. They are like the brothers of normal ants that are army brats, they are not called bullet ants for nothing they sting like a pistol maybe even worse!

These are just three there are a lot more but these three were the weirdest set I could find!

How to Keep Bugs Out

Bugs are malevolent creatures of nature, a witch’s emblem and found in Japanese/Thai/Korean dishes which is just ghastly! They might look innocent in their trivial packet size but they sure are a curse once they enter your house. If the necromancers ever created a ring that keeps your home bug-free, they never gave it to us which is why the we bring you ways to eliminate bug count!

First, keep your eyes peeled for the slightest hints of bugs in your home, the sides and innermost corners of your mattress and blankets or under your pillow covers and even the tufts of your couch. See if you can catch any signs of laid eggs because you never know this spring break when you’re all game for parties the bugs might crash it. Whenever you spot one you know the war’s on.

The thing is that every possible piece of furniture that is retrievable should not be thrown away until and unless it is far gone. Every corner should be sprayed with pesticides and insect repellents. Most of all, the first area that you need to secure is your kitchen. A kitchen should be the most hygienic place in your house, the place is almost holy for women you simply cannot compromise what goes into your appetite! However, as we have always heard prevention is better than cure. It’s the same in this case, before the first daylight of spring, if you think that your house is prone to insect attack then secure it. Keep your windows shut in the night time, especially, in the night time and let as much of the sun rays enlighten and warm your house as possible.

The best natural way seen that is effective in reducing bug count is by going back to the stone age and burning bonfires a few feet away from the house so it’s not dangerous either and the goal to keep bugs at bay is achieved too.

Also, your backyard maintenance plays a vital role in the bugs that raid you. Yards should be regularly serviced and kept cleaned, you don’t want to cross the heap of plants and not come out unscathed but with insects all over you. So, spray pesticides every time you service the soil. Beware! Use pesticides in a controlled amount, too much of it can pump toxins into your lungs and cause either asthma or suffocation.

Remove Insects and Pests

Your house is the most valuable and flushest of your assets which is why it requires extra maintenance and care. An asset according to the law of accounts, while it has room for improvement and innovations can increase in terms of its monetary value. Especially, land which whose value cannot be depreciated but even with a few extensive strategies or slightest of the gestures that imparts a grander ambience can make your house worth the while (money). Don’t let the land become infested with insects and bugs. The last thing anyone wants to see are roaches and spiders. This will reduce the value of the home as well as the safety and health of the environment.

Home improvement can be implemented in a thousand different ways. People who are searching for potential buyers for the house and are not being offered what they expected there is something wrong with your presentation. A beautiful house should be as mouthwatering as a fresh dish of pizza, something that you can’t wait to get your hands on! Occasionally, a thought crosses our mind whenever we are decorating, that “what if this should be…” fill in the blanks. Is the coffee table in the wrong place or is it the couch that is moved to a better position will make the room look more spacious.

Moreover, a complete renovation can make a hut look into something feral yet, fantastic at the same time. However, it is important to know that you are spending your money accordingly, spending on the wrong things can only make it look worse but to make it worthwhile you need to be the judge, jury and executioner. What would you want to have in a newly bought house? An overhead steam shower? Or is it those beautiful marble cabinets that your wife adores? Or is it that chandelier that make your living room appear like a palace? How about using that extra space you have to formulate into a new bedroom? Or you could hire a professional landscaping service to make that savannah of your backyard transformed into a rain forest. I for one would love to be welcomed with the ambience of exquisite flora with vibrant colors and a delightful garden smell whenever I enter my house. It would be relaxing, soothing and at the same time a wonderful sight to show off to the guests, wouldn’t it?

The setback however, is always the cost that takes up for these things. Well, home improvement loans are available at every other street with low interest rates and a complete guarantee and no doubt the response toward the value of your house which will be eternally esteemed due to the changes. All in all it’s just the betrayal of an eye that is required to sell the trash of your house and transform it into a safe haven for someone else.
