Nuisance insect - fukaikonchu (English spelling)

Japanese: 不快昆虫 - ふかいこんちゅう(英語表記)nuisance insect
Nuisance insect - fukaikonchu (English spelling)
This refers to insects that cause discomfort to humans, including insects and related spiders, centipedes, millipedes, etc., but this sensation varies from person to person and not everyone finds it unpleasant. Caterpillars, hairy caterpillars, millipedes, spiders, etc. that invade bright rooms in droves, and moth flies, flea flies, midges, cockroaches, etc. that fly or appear in swarms can suddenly appear in large numbers in modern cities, and many people find them unpleasant, so they are often disliked even though they are not poisonous. In addition, inns and restaurants, etc., there are legal restrictions on indoor invading pests for environmental hygiene reasons, so there is an increasing need for nuisance control of unpleasant insects, including the invasion of gregarious insects such as stink bugs and ladybugs that invade to hibernate in the fall.

Japanese:
昆虫および近縁なクモ,ムカデ,ヤスデなどを含めて,人に不快感を与える昆虫をいうが,この感覚は個人差があって万人が不快と思うとは限らない。明るい室内などにぞろぞろと侵入する芋虫,毛虫,ヤスデ,クモなどや群れをなして飛来したり発生するチョウバエ,ノミバエ,ユスリカ,ゴキブリなどは近代都市で突然多発することがあり,これを不快と思う人が多いため,毒虫でないのに同様に毛ぎらいされることが多くなっている。また,旅館,料理店などでは環境衛生上,屋内侵入害虫の法的規制もあるので,秋季越冬のため侵入するカメムシ類やテントウムシ類などの群居性昆虫の侵入なども含めた不快昆虫の防除nuisance controlの必要性がますます高まりつつある。
