Pest Strategies, an online resource for homeowners and others dealing with pest-related problems, conducted a survey to learn more about how individuals react when they encounter pests.
First, they analyzed the data to determine which pests are most likely to lead to the strongest emotional reactions. And then, more specifically, they asked respondents, “Which pest causes the strongest emotional reaction in you?”
After surveying over 3,500 people, Pest Strategies learned that:
• 21.5% of people surveyed felt grossed out, while 4% were delighted
• 25% of women ask someone else to handle it, compared to only 5% of men
• 33% of men prefer to crush it, while only 7% will vacuum it
• For people in Ohio, rodents like mice, rats, cause the strongest reaction and to crush them is the most popular response.
