Have a fear of needles and bees. So much so that I went 5 years refusing to get any shots. A much needed dental appointment caused me to seek therapy. It helped some. Still have anxiety before shots but therapy made it to where I could tolerate them. One part of it was to focus my mind on something repetitive when getting a shot, like picturing myself walking down a long stairway. Try that when you see a pest and see if it helps.
