most annoying pest

[junebug1701]

We have several cats-2 that hang out in the front yard and 3 in the back. They take care of any and all rats, mice, and squirrels. Haven't seen a live rodent in many years. Heard a lot of horror stories about rodents crawling up under the hood of a car and nesting/chewing up wiring.

So the worst pest for me are the fire ants. Their nests pop up everywhere and when you eliminate one, another one is sure to appear somewhere in the yard. We have a lot of wasps too, but I spray them every now and then.

I detest any tiny creature that crawls no matter how harmless it might be. I hate cockroaches and specifically mice which kind of show up from nowhere when they want to.

The tent worms here are horrible. In the spring they pick one area and completely defoliate the trees. It's especially bad when it's around a sports field or picnic area, because they drop down onto the seats and tables and bleachers and benches. Nasty.
