Hi,
Sorry to ask this question in aus garden- but just wondering whether other
people here have experienced this problem before. At night, every now and
then I think something like spider webs fall on my face or feel spiders
crawling on my body. Problem is they are invsible - I can't see them - and
I'm not sure whether they are spiders, or mites etc.. I do feel them and
don't think its my imagination. During the day- the problem is not there.
There are no tell-tale red bite marks so I guess they aren't mites.
Anyone here experienced the same thing? I rang my doc friend about it - but
she just said it was probably dust which I doubt.
I had the house steam cleaned two months ago, and I'm on the verge of
getting the place fumigated professionally - but its going to cost $500. And
I've got to move my large two fish tanks out of the way- which isn't easy.
There are spider webs around the house- but mostly outside - and in the 2nd
floor roof area which I can't reach. Every so often, I see what looks like
the black house spider on my carpet.
BTW, my place is a weatherboard brick veneer house- 2 levels - built 25
years ago - the carpet is original. Its fairly dry here- no damp.

Or are you diabetic and starting to suffer from peripheral neuropathy(sp?)?
Or, just some one who feels little insects playing gymnast on your hairy
arms.

Many moons ago in central Victoria. At my parents place I awoke with a
huntsman walking across my face. An old sleepout was the scene and as he/she
kept the mossies down I kept still till it removed itself.
Try the cans where you switch off the electrics for 2 hours. Have always
found them to be good value. Got to be cheaper than the $500 you quoted.
