annoying bug
I have been driven batshit crazy for the past week or so… A cricket has somehow found its way to the attic above my room and made itself right at home there. I have nothing against bugs in general, but this damn thing creaks every damn night from dusk till dawn!!! Thus rendering my sleep virtually unattainable!!! Good god~ I usually have no problem in ignoring irritating sounds like that, but for some parculiar reason this high pitched squeaking has been driving me up the wall!!
I attempted to wait for it to die a natural death, believing that insects usually have a short life span…. but after one week I have had enough. I tunneled a tiny little hole into the roof (we don’t have an attic entrance, for whatever reason it was for the original architect to ommit that…) and using a can of insectacide and a plastic straw, managed to direct the spray straight into the attic.
Blessed silence….
That night I slept well and well indeed. No more constant irritating grating amplified high pitched creaks coming from right above me while I rested….. So I thought it to be dead….
And how wrong was I…………
It was back with a vengance the following night….. and I sprayed some more… and was silent yet again….
And the following night… the same bloody thing happened….
And yet again…
And again….
And again……
And again………
…………………….
This is the 6th night after the first intial night of silence…. and it seems to me that thrice damned thing has yet to die! But lucky for me (and Thank God) I can get some blessed silence when every time it starts to make a rucus I can spray some of the really really really poisonous insectacide up into the attic to shut it up at least for the night….. I just don’t want to know when it’ll probably get immuned to the damn stuff…..
It’s still an ongoing problem… but at least I can get to sleep now.
I really hope the silence can and will last….
Cross your fingers for me folks…
Either that or send me another can of Ridsect….
Bloody hell………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
