Little feckers. we had a few last year that I put paid to pretty quickly with insecticide, but they're back this year and there's more of them.

Problem is, my flat has open floorboards and I think they're coming from under the floor (shop below put in loft insulation year before last and Ithink they're breeding in it [boak]). Plus we have a brickwork fireplace and it's one of those flats that has nooks and crannies everywhere. Every time I look around I see a knot on the wood out of the corner of my eye and think I can see one of the little critters. I'm fast becoming a crazed maniac. Please tell me I'm not alone. I know they're harmless to humans, but, ewwwwww all the same.

I have seen a few of these wee crawlies but only ever see them one at a time so I thought that they were not a pest but have now spotted a few more in other places and am in the midst of cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning to try and get rid of them. You are not alone!
