Spider Web problem at night?
"0tterbot" wrote in message
... almost unbelievably, i HAVE had this problem! in our case, it was bird mites. there had been birds nesting in the roof - after they all left home, the homeless mites began to drift down through the ceiling. we thought we would go insane, because we didn't know what it was. i put white paper out & eventually we were able to spot them landing on the paper on the table (they are near-microscopic). then, we thought we would go insane because of the disgustingness of it all. some pest dude came around & pesticided them all to death & that was the end of it. kylie Hmm... it might be mites. I've seen tiny red spiders occasionally - and apparently they are some sort of mites. What was the name of the pest company that you got? |

I've seen tiny red spiders occasionally - and apparently they are some sort of mites. they would be, although there are all kinds of mites. the kind that get on your houseplants wouldn't be bothering you though, so try to define the problem more before you get the pestie in. bird mites are very, very, very tiny. try the white paper method! What was the name of the pest company that you got? don't know any more. any of them would be able to deal with it though. you can also request that they come back later if (for example) there really is a nest up there but it still has babies in it. afaik they kill the birds if you ask, otherwise they don't. (birds themselves are an issue they deal with). they will just check everything out & do what you ask concerning solutions. you might want to go up into the roof & see what you can see. it may not be from birds. but it sounds as though _something_ is working its way down through the ceiling! kylie |
