- My beautiful and hilarious little parakeet, Strat, (short for the Stratacaster guitar, since he loved rock music) passed away a few months ago, after 7 years of fun and craziness. Just got an IRN!
Hello all!
So this is an embarrassing thing to need to ask for help on...
I found bugs in my house. I inherited the house from my dad, and although I cleaned a bunch when I moved in, he had this holder by the kitchen sink that holds a drain strainer and stopper. I was cleaning up around the sink and moved it to clean it and behind it, and there are these little tiny (very tiny) bugs. Looking up images online, I actually wonder if they are fleas. yuck!
The only place I've found them are at the sink, behind the facet, hanging out in that small area between the facet and the backsplash, maybe due to there's usually some moisture that gets back there. Occasionally, they will get up on the counter top, but I've only seen two of them.
The only place that makes sense for my birdy's cage is about 6 feet away from the sink, on the other side of the counter.
How do I kill those dang bugs and not risk my beautiful friend? He is not take yet, and I think the only way I could get him into a smaller cage for travel purposes would be with a towel, and I'm pretty sure that would be so traumatizing, I'd lose most of the progress I've made with him or her over the last 5-6 weeks.
Any suggestions?
Shamefully yours,
Rob LOL
