or the girl
or Jack Black.
My house mildly resembles the scene where mutant giant jungle bugs attack the explorers.
When so many people were complaining about crickets in the basement, I was proud of our house for resisting the autumn onslaught of insect life. Turns out, fall only just began, and we also have cricket corpses in the basement. But I've never had a problem with them, so whatever.
It's the cloud of gnats that drives me mad. I know they're everywhere in fall, but they made it INSIDE the kitchen this year.
Possible reasons:
- they found an old banana and have been reproducing in secret
- kitchen plants are better real estate than outdoor plants
- they're planning a hostile takeover
- kitchen windows are usually open
If anyone else is having gnat problems, use this awesome gnat trap, courtesy of the internet:
- cup (disposable is handier)
- few tablespoons vinegar
- few drops kitchen soap
- fill cup with water
Leave it on the counter or in a problem area. Gnats will flock like seagulls on a tub of fries before drowning in their own vinegar-induced greediness.
Also I saw a larger-than-comfort-allows spider under the computer desk. It scuttled behind a wall when I chased it. Having no time to pursue, I moved the chair to the middle of room and continued working from my chair island. I'll pretend my meager bug spraying encouraged it to move next door.
