Stealth cockroaches and paratrooper ants, unite!

Hey, it's my first blog!
Living in a tropical country as I am, it should come as no surprise that my continual companion(other than people, lol overpopulation) are bugs. This is very unfortunate, considering my natural phobia of insects.
Well, it's monsoon now. That time of year when love blossoms and the power trips. This means that insects are getting driven out of teir normal habitats by the rain.
Now, I should stop here and mention that a special place in my heart is set aside just for cockroaches. They can send me, a 15-year old guy, scurrying out of a room in panic.
Now, in my bathroom, there is a shower and a drain. This is all well andgood, except the drain-designer, in a fit of inspired brilliance, left a huge gaping hole in the center.
Normally this would'nt be a problem, but this was my first year in this new house, and to my unending horror, as I was taking a shower, one of the foul beasts crawled out of the drain and proceeded to attempt a hasty escape. This was foiled by all the water that was sprayed onto it, but it still made it outside. I have'nt seen it since......
Now, on to a happier place, my school. My school is a beautiful place, with many trees. It is my class's custom to hang out underneath these trees while waiting for the classes to open. Along the walls crawl huge(I mean the size of a finger segment) ants, which are red, merrily making their way along their antsy lives.
Fine, all well and good. Howewer, recently, I've noticed, much to my dismay, that these ants take every possible opportunity to leap from leaves on top of people.
Allow me to repeat that, as it bears repeating.
They.
Jump.
On.
People.
And they bite too. Pretty badly.
Their motivations behind this are obviously unclear, but perhaps it is a form of guerilla warfare(in the cockroach's case, and kamikaze(in the ants' case).
Now all we need is for Disney to make a shitty animated- oh wait.....
