Well, while Gracie may enjoy the playmates, I on the other hand am having a harder time accepting our new roommates. Jumping crickets (huge ones and little ones alike) have claimed our residence. Truth be told they were likely here first and we're the intruders. Every morning I am greeted by the colony of Granddaddy longlegs that inhabit the kitchen. Gracie will walk up and sniff the half dozen or so hanging out on the wall near her food bowl. I will gaze at the one in the curtain above the sink as I wash the dishes from the day before. I think about grabbing one of their long legs and about making the hurried trek to the back door, but I don't. They are not really hurting anyone. The ones that enjoy the tub and shower are different though. I will gather up the two spiders with their crab like legs and the two jumping crickets (after I am able to catch them) and remove them from the tub. While I may be able to tolerate them, I definitely don't want to shower with them. Every day there are two spiders and two jumping crickets in the tub. Every day I remove them. The next day, new ones take their place. I contemplated leaving them alone, but if they just keep returning then I would have a farm of them in the bathroom. *Sigh*
I've told them that once the floors are fixed and I am actually getting ready to live in the house full time, that I will be having an exterminator coming. I guess they can consider that their 30 day eviction notice.
