To current JETs, how’s your experience been with pests?

In my hometown in America, I’ve never had to deal with any crazy pests. I mean, black ants, flies, small non-venomous spiders, and house centipedes that don’t bite sure, but nothing more than that. I’ve never even dealt with cockroaches at home. But I hear cockroaches are very common, especially in rural areas, along with mukade centipedes. I’ve heard horror stories about these mukade, like how they like to crawl under your sheets, in your shoes, on your face during your sleep, and their bite is really painful.

Considering I’ve heard that it’s extremely unlikely you’ll get assigned to a city like Tokyo and you’re more likely to be in a rural area, the pests are definitely a concern of mine. What’s been everyone else’s experience?
