Bug infestation!
Absolutely hundreds of these things in my car and coming out of holes in the coving from the room space!
They're little beetles - imagine a tiny cockroach about 1/4inch long with dark brown and lighter brown stripes and they fly.... any ideas?

Re: Bug infestation!
Sounds like a horror movie, whats perth today? 40C I read, probably some plague of bugs hatched out, often happens like the locust thing
Worst we had was 1000's of winged ants invade the house one night, bodies everywhere the next moring.

Re: Bug infestation!
I'd be "bombing" your car and home!!! The Mortein control bombs from Bunnings are great.

Re: Bug infestation!
Well I'd sort the holes in the coving for a start then stick a few bombs in the roof space. No idea about the car unless something nasty has died in it but I guess you'd smell that. Give it a good spray around and under the seats and boot etc then leave it for a couple of hours with the doors and windows closed. Then open the windows and leave it for another hour or so to get rid of the fumes, give it a vac and you should be good to go.
Doesn't sound nice though

Re: Bug infestation!
doesnt help in the house though... plus no way i'm walking in 40+ heat!!
seems to have been a swarm of something as the shed is also full of them, but OH just bombed it a few days ago so they're all dead. sprayed my car very thoroughly, there are hundreds of the buggers... mostly dead but a few still flying around! OH has bombed the roof space as well so hopefully it's the end of it.
wish i knew what they were....
