Well, I've met some women who are terrified of small things like mice and insects.

A friend from college [was] so terrified of spiders that if she saw one in her room at the college apartment, she would almost literally
tear the room apart, move furniture out into the hallway, and hunt the thing down to kill it. She could not function as a human until it
was dead, and usually dragged the rest of us (or especially her then-fiance now husband) into the hunt. All the while screaming her head
off and going into hysterics and crying fits, which got worse when the spider had crawled into the wall or some kind of hiding space.
There was at least one time where she couldn't find it, and refused to go back into her room for the remainder of the evening, and I think
it was about a day or two before she went back in.

I will admit, though, sometimes the female side is a little more bolder and gradual in the approach and removal or destruction of insects
where we guys seem to have a "fast" reaction and want a fast end to the encounter.
