It is the most hated insect in the United States.
A new study found how deeply our pests are deep.
Nobody likessee a bug Where it does not belong, whether it is a cockroach that has dropped through the tile of the kitchen at midnight or an army of ants invading an otherwise charming picnic. Light to severe disgust for our insect and arachnidian neighbors has been the default setting of humidity of the human. But now, thanks to aSurvey of 2,000 people Commanded by Zevo and led by OnePoll, we finally have difficult data exploring the depths and shades of our disgust for insects, including a look at the most hated insects in the United States.
The results of the survey cover a wide range of entomophobia (fear of insects) of the given topics and results - it is clear crystal that people do not like bugs with all the fibers of them. When you meet a bug at home, only 27% of respondents said they are trying to catch and release it outside. The others say they immediately reach the shoe, the rolling log, the spray or the flamethrower.
With the average respondent to this survey apparently loses 36 hours of sleep a yearStranger on insectsIt is not surprising that the group said they would pay an average of $ 2,241 to never meet a bug anywhere in the world for the rest of their lives. Such a drastic measure looks like this could lead to long-term ramifications on the global environment - but fears are not rational, is not it?
With regard to the most hated insects, the investigation also gave us a definitive ranking of the 15 less preferred scary tracks of people. Read it to see the complete list, at least at most reveres based on the percentage of respondents who have declared that they hated them. Do you think you can guess the most hatest overall?
