It's unofficially summer here and with that can come unwanted 'guests.'  This story was inspired by  personal experience with some unwelcome visitors.

They seem to be drawn to heat, like the television screen or near the windows or light bulbs.

If only one or two, they're easy enough to pick up with a paper towel and flush down the loo. What creeps me out is laying on the sofa at night watching the telly in the dark and then hearing the fluttering of the wings somewhere in the room. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

I had an infestation in the bedroom one year, they were all under the heaters. Had to spray them with insecticide and then vacuum them out. Haven't had any the last few years...knock on wood.
