Earwigs

Well, this is what we have been living with. Since it rained most of June, they are coming out for reunions in our whole house. They usually come around in the summer time, mostly in the basement. But this year they are a nightmare. We had our room and Porter's room and the baby's crib in the unfinished basement for about 2 months, since the girls moved. But since these little critters have been taking over our lives and I found one crawling out of my pillow, I decided it wasn't worth it. So we moved our room back to the living room and Porter and the baby are in the one bedroom. It's much better. We got the house sprayed last week, but I am still finding the little buddies on the fridge, on our fruit, crawling out of cabinets, on the doorknobs and even in the sheets. And THAT is all UPSTAIRS, where it's "not that bad". It's driving me crazy. For the last month my dreams have basically consisted of Dramatized Labor and Dramatized Earwigs. Some of you know that I am GROSSED out by critters....and usually trap them under a cup until mike gets home to take care of it. But since I've had Porter, I've had to get a little more brave and kill it myself and now that Porter is 3-He'll just take care of it for me. It's been an interesting evolution of pest control around here.
