I don't like the bugs and/or the snakes there.

I believe 'or' should be used as 'or' is used with negative verbs, in this case 'don't like'.

Many thanks.

Both sentences can be used.


"Let's camp out this weekend. Other than the bugs and snakes, it should be quite enjoyable."

"I don't like the bugs or the snakes. I won't go."


"There are mosquitoes, ants, flies, bugs, and snakes at the lake. Do you want to go camping this weekend?"

"No, I don't like the bugs and the snakes."
