A recent study reveals that New Yorkers are less fearful of pests like roaches and rats than any other U.S. city. This conclusion comes from analysis of Google searches related to pest phobias, finding NYC residents searched these terms seven times less than the national average. Experts suggest that as people gain understanding of their fears, it lessens their impact. The study highlights NYC's tough reputation, with Los Angeles and Chicago following closely in bravery, while cities like Atlanta and Salt Lake City showed significantly higher levels of fear.
New York City's residents searched for critter-related phobias significantly less than the national average, showcasing their tough reputation against pests.
Zach Jolley noted that as residents understand more about pests, the power of their fears diminishes, which may explain New Yorkers' resilience.
