Hi,
I bought my first home just before Christmas and was working on the house before moving in. I replaced the flooring in the hallway, kitchen and dinningroom. Well I moved into the house at the end of January and now I have terrible trouble with woodlice and other smaller insects since putting down the new floor. There had previously been a leak in the kitchen (radiator).
I cant tell you how distraught I am. Probably overreacting but I am finding this very upsetting. There are insects every single day and I wont cook or eat in the house. I have family living nearby and go to them. I got a spray but they were still alive after using it. I have been dreaming of having my own house for years (first time buyer) but now its turning into a nightmare. I still have to buy furniture but dont want to bring anything into the house until I get this sorted out.
Will I have to remove the new flooring that I put down? It was very expensive as I put down porcelain tiles in the hallway, kitchen and dinningroom. But if I have to I will as I want to get to the cause. I rang Rentokil and was told that it sounds like they are in the foundations of my house and that I wont be able to get rid of them but just control the numbers with powder. After hearing this I would sell the bloodly house tomorrow if I could. Sorry but really freaked out and very sqeemish.
I would really appreciate any advice thanks
