Looks like my house has termites T_T.
I woke up at about 4:30 this morning to the feeling of something crawling across my eyelid. I grabbed the thing, and then threw it off me, and went back to sleep. That's about the only thing I can handle at that time of the morning.
Then, about 15 minutes later, I feel something shifting under my side, I jump up and turn the light on, and there are two little bugs on my bed which I promptly kill and sweep onto the floor. But I'm kinda weirded out and worried they might be bedbugs, so I go crash on the futon on the lounge.
Ten minutes after THAT, I get a bug in my knickers (not in the crotch area, thank the sweet merciful IPU), so as you can tell, I'm really fucking weirded out. These things don't bite though, and keel over from a spray of mortein.
Fast forward and it's now 7:16 am (my sleeping patterns are so out of whack) and I put some of these little things that appear to be all over the house in a jar, and log on to find some answers.
And now, it seriously looks like my house has termites, because the bugs look exactly like this. (http://www.whatsthatbug.com/termites.html) Also, yesterday and the day before were two absolutely sweltering days after a good week or so of heavy steady rain, which apprently is a time when the little buggers are really active. Fuck.
