They are here as well. They seem to like ammonia as they settle in the guinea pig house when it needs a clean.......  I hasten to add that Eric gets cleaned out very regularly and is a healthy happy gp! |

| Hi guys, you could try rubbing some citronella on the insides of the coup....it repels most insects. |

| Sure I read citronella is now on the "banned" list? I would use eucalyptus but I'm not sure it would be good for Eric. |
