guess the pest!

we on top of the lice...

the mice have gone and the holes have been blocked..

so, I come back from a dinner out (rare ocurence!) and baby sitter says: "ther . is. something. in. there!" she thinks it is a dead something because there are lots of black flying things...lots of black crawling things.

G says: "look mummy i have been collecting some in a pot."

turns out they are flying ants. masses of them. i don't have ant killer but on my last trip to Poundland i bought a deadly kitchen cleaner spray (whcih you would not want to use anywhere near your kitchen: highly toxic!) so aim that at them and the hole they coming fom.

it works! lots of dead ones...

meanwhile, Friend who we were going to see yesterday has cancelled: her house is crawling with bed bugs and they will be fumigated on Monday.... she is busy buying new bedding etc...
