One thing I have noticed is a mega shortage of wasps this year, im not complaining.

Zombienosh

I remember being on holiday in Wexford onetime, near Curraghcloe Beach, staying with the family in a self-catering cottage, and I went outside for a sneaky cigarette at the side of the house the first evening we were there, and I'm leaning against the wall, enjoying me puff, admiring the landscape before me, when first one earwig catches my eye and I bat him away, then a second and third until I turn around and there on the wall, just right behind my head, were hundreds of the little fuckers crawling about. There was a little hole there where they must have had a nest.

Talk about getting a shock.

But I could deal with that, there were outside, we were inside. 'They're no bother out there', I thought until I went to pour a bowl of cornflakes the next morning and a handful of 'em come scattering out of the bowl... :eek:

Haha same thing happened to us while camping years ago. We didn’t notice them in the pot until my little nephew asked what the white things were in his dinner. Turned out we’d boiled a load of them and most of us were finished

No earwigs, getting every other creature though. We put down mouse traps with chocolate. Came down stairs the next morning to find ants had come along and taken the chocolate without even setting the trap off.

Found a slug in the kitchen sink also.

I used to hate earwigs but since I've moved here to Canada... I have found these in my apartment. Its a house centipede. At least they eat earwigs and silverfish.

I don't have any bug problems. I do have a horse problem though, I got a spider to catch the fly and now things have gotten out of hand.

msg11

I have a Magpie problem. I can't even open the window, because there nest entrance is in the gutter above the window. ****ting myself, one of the bastards will fly in and **** all over the place.

They make some racket up there too , you can just hear there claws on the plasterboard .
