A new survey for Orkin Pest Control says flies are the most common household pests, with 45% of participants reporting flies are the pests they see most often. Only 39% reported mosquitoes were number one at their home. 43% said the reason they didn't want pests around was because of health and safety concerns, and 41% said they simply find the insects a nuisance.

Do you get the feeling that most of the folks who were surveyed were not from around here? My top two would have to be mosquitoes and lovebugs! Or roaches and ants, or...CJ!
