    Hi

    Quite spooky that I have found this thread, but yesterday I was appalled to find that we also have these little blighters in our bedroom feeding on the carpet under the bed - I was horrified. I have so far gone with the 'extreme' hoovering which I intend to do daily or every other day and also sprinkled some lavendar oil on the carpet as I would rather not use chemicals especially where we sleep. I am going to try to keep on top of the situation but will also watch for more tips on this thread.

    I think I'm going to make a few sachets with rosemary, lavender and cloves (as I have these!). See also

    They look very pretty but as I'm going to put mine behind the sideboard I'll just make them out of a remnant of curtain lining that I have. In fact as I typed that I had another thought - I may even put a sachet in the lining of the curtain hanging nearby.....
