25,203Bugs Really Bug Me: AMDRO $50 Giveaway *
What is the absolute worst part about living in the country, and about summer in general?
Bugs. Bugs. Bugs.
Yes, I understand that bugs serve their purpose in the circle of life, but I have to be perfectly honest with you. I have zero tolerance for pests including wasps, ants, and spiders in or near my home. In fact, as soon as the weather starts getting warmer, and I begin seeing these creepy crawlers make their appearance on our property, I promptly send my husband on a mission to pick up some pest killer.
Enter Amdro.
We’ve actually been purchasing Amdro products for two years now, because we find their entire product line effective in helping control the pest issues we experience during the summer months.
We have a serious ant problem on our property. If we don’t hit the situation early in the season, we start seeing ants inside our house, so we use Amdro Ant Block Home Perimeter Ant Bait.
Did you know that ants communicate with one another with their antennae, telling each other where the food is located and leaving scent trails for others to find? Just thinking about that fun (but creepy) fact gives me the willies, and I can picture an ant exiting our home and announcing, “Hey fellas, they’ve got Cheerios ALL OVER their floor!”
It’s true. We do.
Amdro Ant Block Home Perimeter Ant Bait will kill ands before they enter your home. After laying the bait, worker ants will carry it back to the mound thinking it’s food. Once the queen eats the bait, her colony is doomed because she can no longer produce worker ants.
Sounds good — right? It really is. I highly recommend Amdro products for all your pest problems. Public enemy number 1 in my home is spiders, so I use the spider-focused products too!
Join me for an Amdro Twitter Party
Hope to see you there!

Thanks, See you at the party!! :) @reinaheather
Right now ticks are the worst I live in a small neighborhood and we are infested with ticks! The kids can’t even play outside it’s horrible.
My least favorite are silverfish and cockroaches *shiver*

Mosquitoes bug me the most. Urgh.
I plan on trying Amdro soon. We also have ants in the yard but our really big problem is the spiders in and under the house. Those really freak me out!
Ants!!! We live on a lot of wooded land and the little tiny buggers creep in during summertime. Grosssssssss.
The ladybug bugs me the most!
I hate mosquitos! They seem to be extra attracted to me and won’t leave me alone!
I don’t live in the country so there are not many creepy crawlies but we do have gnats. They are so annoying and somehow squeeze through the screen. I find their little dead bodies everywhere!!!
We also have all sorts of bugs that visit us every summer. I’ll have to look for the products in our stores.
I think that they are called potato bugs. They tend to be found under anything that sits in the yard for too long. Almost look like they have a armor on them. Nasty little critters. Ick. And slugs, don’t get me started!
Ants and spiders oh my!!!
I hate centipedes the most.
I Think We have 3 differant kind of ANTS….I Need this stuff…….that is if it WORKS!!!!!!
Not much bugs me, hehe no pun intended, except big cockroaches. They scare me to death!
Well, ants and any type of flying stinging thing – I’m deathly allergic to those buggers!
mosquitos
SPIDERS.
Ants
Don’t like spiders or roaches
Ticks bother me the most. Only bug I dont like, everything else I love!
We have been seeing a lot of stink bugs in our area….I don’t like them. Maybe there is something we can spray to rid us of them.
Bugs in General but Mosquitoes are the worst!!! I can’t stand them! I Got bit the other night. I am not sure what in the heck i got bit by but OMG it hurts and it i had to shave my leg last night and irritated it more. :-/ UGH! :(
flys drive me insane!!
The little black bugs that like grains and crumbs. They get into all your food and the only way to get rid of them is to through food out.
i’d have to say mosquitos…. i think you know why :P
if it were a bug tho, definitely spiders!! They give me the heebee-geebees!!!
ants!
Ants! and spiders! and June bugs!
I think it have to be black ants, every couple they show up and are everywhere!
Down here in Florida, I truly despite the “no see ‘ems” – and fire ants! Ugh!
Spiders and pincher bugs but especially SPIDERS!!!!
spiders
Spiders! Ick!
Spiders
centipedes, ewwww
Roaches! Can’t stand them and I live in Texas (everything is bigger).
Thanks for the giveaway!
Anything with a stinger. Ouch!
Roaches bug me! Yuck!
Spiders
i hate bumblebees, i’m allergic to them.
Sometimes the bugs are so bad you can’t even enjoy being outside.
It does not matter what type of bug it is. I am terrified of all bugs. small medium or large I scream and cry when I see them
silverfish
mosquitoes!
Water bugs & mosquitos!
Def Mosquitos!! I live by a canal and we literally have to drive fast into the garage–shut it and make a break for the door and close it fast….and they still get in!!! We stand there by the door to catch and try to kill before they attack us and they babies while we’re sleeping!!! UGH!!!!
100% 8 legged freaks also known as spiders!! Who needs 8 legs, i mean really! Its so bad i’ve been seeing a therapist for the last year for desensitizing therapy! Which obviously is doing wonders! My neighbors sure get a kick out of it… every day I give the ultimate comedy show act as I attempt to walk the 6 feet from my garage door to my car swaying a 5ft long bright red broom all around like its my magic wand and peeking round all corners like I’m a CIA agent on a secret spy mission. lol.
carpenter ants are awful
I don’t like mosquitoes! They bug me. Ha, ha!
I hate bugs this time of year- I was just chasing a fly around my apartment today!
Followed DearCrissy on FB.
The thing that bugs me the most is when people leave water all over sinks and soap dispensers in public bathrooms….
cockroaches bug me the most .,.,
It’s a toss up between mosquitos and flies. The mosquitos bite but the flies are more prevalent.
I just went on a brisk walk, and the bugs would not stay away from my face!!!!
bees
Ants and roaches
Spiders, anything that buzzes (bees, wasps, hornets, you name it), and ants—specifically carpenter ants. Those things are just nasty and move so fast. I’m so glad that I don’t live in a place where these are a problem anymore.
Mosquitoes are the worst!!!
Can I say all bugs bug me?? I hate them. Especially when they sneak up on me. bekki1820cb at gmail dot com
roaches
SPIDERS! They have always been my worst fear
Mosquitos!!!
ants!
Oh my Heck! I HATE ants. I can put up with just about any other bug BUT ants! And they stink (kinda like bug spray) when you squish them. Ugh!
Spiders! I hate em!
Mosquitoes! They are particularly bad this year since we didn’t have a good winter freeze to kill them off.

Earwigs are the worst!
big black ants eww
Black Widow Spiders!
Ants, bees and wasps.
I live in the country and the ants, spiders, tics and bees are just a few that really bug me.
I have these crazy bugs – I don’t know what they’re called. They have about a zillion legs and they are just everywhere in my house. Other bugs I have are spiders, ants, and these minipedes/centipedes? My house is backed up on woods and a creek.
Wasps bug me so bad!
All of them? Ok, mostly ants, spiders and I despise flies!
I’m having a problem with spiders building webs on my plants and patio furniture, so they’re number one on my list right now.
hate spiders
I hate spiders, silverfish, water bugs, cockroaches, ants, pretty much all bugs
We also live in OH, in the northwest, and we see earwigs (ewww!), this beetle that looks like a wasp but only comes out at night (unknown eww!) and Carpenter bees that, unfortunately, do not sing but instead burrow into your house to build their nests.
Mosquitos and silverfish are everywhere right now..not to mention the spiders in all different sizes — Gross!!!
I don’t like bugs in the house at all and summer is the worst. We get spiders, silverfish, ants and sometimes the wasps find a way into our attic and 1 or 2 end up flying around the ceiling. That’s usually when I put my foot down!
what bugs irritate me are flys and ants…..oh and mosquitos……dont like bugs period….thanks for this giveaway
Ants and spiders really bug us.
I hate stink bugs.

Mosquitoes bother me the most.
I can’t stand bugs of any kind, but I am extremely paranoid about getting bed bugs! I hat roaches just as much!
Mosquitoes are my nemesis, but ants are a real bother too!
Bees. I’m allergic to them, but I’m also allergic to small insect bites. So I HATE BUGS.
Mosquitoes are the worst for me. I feel like I can’t ever get away from them!
I really want to inform you that chemical pesticides and other chemical products are very harmful, even more so then we are led to believe. Pesticided put in and around our homes are doing more than killing bugs. I am the mother of 5, a blogger and the mother of a child diagnosed last June 30th with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. There is no family history of cancer at such a young age in our family on both sides. I never like pesticides before and did not use them much but it has opened my eyes to the effects of the chemicals in the products we use everyday. As one mother to another and a blogger like myself who has great influence on what other’s perceive as safe, please look into other products that work just as well with no harmful ingredients. Also in your search for healthy products don’t be fooled because the label says green, organic or healthy. You must know what is in them and then names for lots of harmful chemicals have many different names. If anyone wants more info please ask. We really need to sound the alarm on the chemicals in products and what they are doing to our children. They are also causing birth defects, infertility, central nervous system damage and other ailments to people of all ages.
I am a bug magnet; the black flies leave welts on me :( and I dont like the ants coming in the house during this time of year

I hate spiders more than anything
Mosquitoes, just because I have sweet blood and they ALWAYS bite me and I hate it!
Any bug that live here but don’t pay rent!! :)
I live in the south, near a lake. Mosquitoes are the worst!
all bugs
I absolutely hate CRICKETS. I can not stand to hear them chirp. But a close second would be ticks. We have a lot of them here in Arkansas. And how could I forget roaches – I don’t have any but am always on the lookout for them. Actually, I might prefer crickets to roaches.
We’ve had a huge problem with ants this spring! Ugh.
Cockroaches! The huge flying palm roaches! Eeeewwww I am terrified of them!
