Feck the tits

What an offer.

They've returned. Found four of the little blighters today. No bird seed in the house, so guess they've found a new hidey hole.

Do they look like this:



If so, Anobium Punctatum or Common Furniture Beetle and they could be coming out of the woodwork (so to speak).

Do they look anything like this?

Woodworm emerge at this time of year, rather than in March, as the original post suggests.

They give a very satisfying crunch when you squash the little beggars.

Pedant.

Can attest to their crunchyness though.

[mudskipper]

Nope, they're definitely weevils.

Tiny Black Bugs – What Are These Tiny Black Bugs in My House?

[tranceporter]

House is full of little black bugs - they don't fly or jump. As far as I know they don't bite humans (been finding them for weeks and no bites).

They look a bit like a headlouse, but bigger, and are crawling over the walls, so appear to live in the house, not on a host. They have a long 'nose' and a hard shell.

Any ideas?

Do you have cats? Let them eat the bugs and you save on cat food. Win-Win

Yeah, being a converted cat fan, I've seen them eat/attack moths, flies, spiders (boooo!), mice and birds (eeeek!)

Yep. A very satisfying crunch indeed.

And they fly veeeerrrryyyy slowly too.
