Do Amazonian houses have more bugs than houses in the US? That is one of the core questions we've come to answer. Michelle, Misha, Keith, Haley, and I are all here in the hot, sweaty jungles of Peru looking in people's homes. What we found was really surprising.

Also, don't forget to check out Anna and Tom's videos:

The music was purchased from audiojungle. The tracks were: Amazon Dreamers | Cinematic Trailer Dubstep | Cinematic Dark Blockbuster Trailer | Dramatic Choral Male Voice | In a Timelapse | Climatic Epic Chasing
