season brought many creatures into our house. We began to see large black centipedes crawling across the floor. WAGs wasn't even interested in messing with them after the first day so we have been constantly picking them up over the last 2 weeks. They are also not very photogenic. This was the best picture I could take.We have had an invasion of other creatures too. One night upstairs there were small winged bugs flying everywhere. There must have been 50-100 of them. Allan brought up the bug spray and they began "dropping like flys". We were told the rains bring out the bugs and centipedes. While we have never had as many come inside as we did that night, we have had a few visit us every evening. Tonight though was a different story. A big winged bug that resembled the first ones upstairs began flying around the light. Soon it was 2, then 3, then 4, then....well you get the point. I began to kill the ones who flew down near the floor and soon there were none left. Before long, they began coming again. Allan and I discovered they were all over the screens trying to get in. Soon there were many slipping in through the screen, flying and swarming around. Allan thought they were flying termites and after a google search on the internet, I discovered he was right. We seem to have conquered them for the evening. Thanks to our handy bug killer spray. Ah the joys of learning to live in the tropics! I do hope they fly onto somewhere else tomorrow.
