Why do critters that get in the house run directly toward you?
Question:Why is it that when you're in a house or apt., no matter who's place it is, and a varmint gets in whether rodent, insect, fly, bird, whatever, it heads straight toward you. Then if you start screaming and running away it still comes for you. I thought they had an instinct to flee. Have you ever experienced this?
Answers:
Yes, animals are attracted to smells, sounds, and motions . When you react they react back toward what they instinctively feel or hear or see. They flee only when they feel threatened.
Haha I have no idea but one time a squirrel got into my sisters room and I heard a noise in there so I opened the door and it ran right at me. It was the scariest moment of my life!
hmmm, never thought about it but, yeah that does seem true.
hmmmm, interesting they should flee.......
not really, usually they run away from me. do you wear a sweet smelling perfume or spray? it's possible that's attracting them, but usually rodents run away from me.
They have bug bets through their internet in Vegas that you scare easy and their survival rate is near perfect with you.
Good question. LOL. We had a mouse the other day which had us both screaming like little girls. Even my husband. LOL. Everyone was in a uproar; me, my husband, two German Shepherds and two cats. It was chaos. Finally, I trapped it to the floor with a sweeper attachment and the husband got a plastic bag, picked it up and took it outside. It was dead in the morning. I don't know if I smashed it, or one of the cats had already delivered a fatal attack.
Main reason-your body heat.Insects or anything that can't see very well is attracted to a heat source.
Do you have really bad luck?
Mabey they just don't like you.
Seriously though, rodents don't know what they're doing, they're not that smart (or dumb).
The smell you and so they charge right at you.
