I have a spotless house I am not a slob, I wash the floors at least once a week, I change his dishes every 2 days, and his indoor toilet is cleaned regularly. So i was shocked and upset that my poor little guy had to deal with this overnight. I think we killed close to 25-50.
I have no clue where they came from. I'm in an apartment building, but we've been here two years, and have never had a problem before.
So I did a little research and thought they were these bugs that are commonly found in pantries and that they may have come in on the dog food. So i put all of dog food in a clear bag, and shuffled through it, but there are no bugs in there.
Any thoughts, do you think they came up through the wall or something? Like this is really random. And really gross, the good news is when I got home the appeared to be gone. (we javexed and fully cleaned his room, and aired it out before putting him back in, so if they were in the wall, I think I killed a bunch).
I hope they're gone, but it would be nice to know where they came from
Thanks! |
If you used any poisons to kill the bugs, please be careful. One lick of any residue and he could get sick. I'm not familiar with what you used, but I bet your vet can tell you over the phone if that is something toxic to your baby.
The problem with living in an apt is that you could be the neatest clean freak in the world, but if your neighbor is a dirty slob, their bugs can infest your apt. It's gross. I had a problem with cockroach not to long ago. It seemed one of my mom's friends was bringing them in from her apt. They were hitching a ride in her bag and spreading to my apt. My dad bought all sorts of baby and pet friendly bug traps and we didn't catch any. They all came with that lady. It was gross!!!
