Hi Julfren,

We moved into a brand new house for the year last october & before we moved in, we swept up thousands of the little b*ggers from the rooms! There was SO many!

The 'infestation' lasted until about early december - and it started again just as we were about to move out. They were getting in through the seals on the velux windows, and god only knows where else.

Anyway, we got some of those outdoor citrus candles & hubby popped them on the windowsills & around the house.
Indoors, we got those sticky fly traps (not attractive) and I also got some stickers that go the windows.

As it wasn't an old house, I have no idea where they come from, but I've noticed that they're a lot worse on white houses...?

Anyway, good luck with it - you have my sympathies.

Julie.
