Dear Interwebz,
I know you’ve missed me the past few days, and I will continue to be elusive for at least a few more.
My family is under attack.
Bird mites have infested our home.
I have been busy stripping, boiling, laundering,etc.
Today I am packing things away in plastic and preparing for the big “fogging” that will happen tomorrow.
I have not slept well in three days due to the multitude of bites on my body and the “crawlies” at all hours of the night. Hot Nerd and Bam Bam seem to have the least of it. Our poor doggies, however, are staying at the vet’s office being treated, as they were heavily infested.
Don’t worry, I’ll give you all the gruesome details at a later date.
Right now, back to work.
And a word of caution- check around your home/roof/trees etc, for bird’s nests. You DO NOT WANT THESE little fuckers.
It might seem lovely to have little birdies living in your yard, but they are not like in the Disney cartoons. Their nests harbor parasites, and none of them even offered to make me a gown like in Cinderella.
The fight continues…
Little fuckers.
Ouch! Not much fun – I remember as a youngster we found a Dove – tame as could be, on our roof – my mother being unable to “just say no” to me on any pet request allowed it in. Within a week we, our parrot, and our dogs were all itching uncontrollably… One quick trip to the vet with the birds gave the answer – Birt Mites! UGGGH no fun, no fun, no fun! I feel your pain!
Oh God! And I thought my “Clover Mites” were bothersome. My just smear red poop-ish marks when I smash them…AND they don't bite. I truly feel for you. I. HATE. BUGS!
Oh no!!!! Good luck on getting the all clear. I can’t wait to hear the full story!
Thanks for swinging by and helping to make my SITS day so spectacular. Your time and words mean the world to me.
Lots of yummy love,
