Top 10 Nastiest Bugs & Insects

The Top Ten
1 Bed Bugs

Once at the hospital where my mom works, someone walked in covered in them. There were more of them than skin visible. They never found out how it happened, but they had to shut down area he was in to decontaminate it.

They're hella disgusting

2 Head Lice

Yeah these are nasty too

3 Ticks

Although mosquitoes have killed more people, I believe they are less likely to have a disease than ticks are.

They're the worst, they're very hard to kill with their hard bodies. I had to burn it to death.

These are the worst. I prefer mosquitoes because at least they leave

4 Flies

Not the nastiest on this list but oh god they are so annoying. They are sitting anywhere on you and constantly buzzing around you

A pain in the butt

5 Dust Mites
6 Fleas Flea, the common name for the order Siphonaptera, includes 2,500 species of small flightless insects that live as external parasites of mammals and birds. Fleas live by ingesting the blood of their hosts. Adult fleas grow to about 3 millimetres (1⁄8 inch) long, are usually brown, and have bodies that are "flattened" sideways or narrow, enabling them to move through their hosts' fur or feathers... read more

7 Mosquitoes Spanish for "small fly," mosquitoes are insects that have been known to cause various diseases. A sample of diseases caused by mosquitoes: malaria, yellow fever, Chikungunya, West Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, Zika virus.

To me they're the nastiest bugs ever. If you're in Florida in the shade or at nighttime then you got to deal with those annoying pest leaving you with itchy welts all over your body. Using bug spray helps a lot.

I can't sleep whenever one is in my room. Sadly, I had them a lot in my room. They give you the worst itch possible and they make a very annoying high pitched sound. They also spread diseases like malaria. Screw these parasites

Oh my gosh! Stupid useless bugs that leave you with huge itchy bumps on your skin, How lovely :/ They are disgusting and worthless.

8 Cockroaches Cockroaches (or roaches) are a paraphyletic group of insects belonging to Blattodea, containing all members of the group except termites. About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known as pests.

The cockroaches are an ancient group, with their ancestors, known as "roachoids", originating during the Carboniferous period, some 320 million... read more

Not scary but kind of gross. When I see them, I just grab them and do a brutal kill like a killer.

Plus the fact that they can survive headless for up to nice days.

Just look at that picture, it should tell you enough about how disgusting they are

9 Maggots

That's offensive to Slipknot fans!

10 Centipede Centipedes are arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda of the subphylum Myriapoda. They are mainly carnivorous and they prey upon insects, spiders, small birds and rodents, and even other centipedes.

When I imagine about creeping and crawling, these things come to mind first

The Contenders
11 Silverfishes

I wouldn't say they're nasty. They're tough, prehistoric little things. They'll try and avoid humans where possible (probably why they've survived as long as they have) and prefer to hide in cracks in walls and behind wallpaper. And they're pretty cute in appearance too.

12 Wasps

Wasps are very threatening insects and they are nasty. They have a queen and the workers are stung and the drones are stungless.

13 Green Shield Bug

A species of flatworm that flies loudly, always latches on, and expels an aggregation pheromone.

14 Gnats

Very annoying bugs. They fly in your nose, eyes, and in your ears with their annoying high pitch sounds.

There super tiny and you see like millions flying around.

15 Earwigs
16 Beetles

Some Beetles aren't bad

17 Earwig
18 Horse Fly

Those bugs are very nasty, they actually hurt when they bate.

19 Sand Fleas

Yes you see them, that is if you can see them. They're near the beaches in Florida, but you do feel them biting you.

20 Kissing Bugs
21 Scorpions
22 Fire Ants

Yes another problem we have in Florida are the nasty fire ants. You just have to make sure when you sit down on the grass that you're not sitting on an ant hill, otherwise you'll be attacked by an army of fire ants.

23 Hay Mites
24 Giant Water Bugs (Belostomatidae)
