Right, now I'm cross...

Stupid s*dding starlings have been nesting in the roof of my workshop for
years - do they make an awful mess, or what?

So, this year, I've put some of the Screwfix eaves comb filler
(http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...40157&ts=12586) and very
nice it is too...

....however, there is something living in the old nests... When I put my arm
up to the eave from the outside of the building (it's single storey), I was
SAVAGED by some sort of bloodthirsty insect - 20 or 30 bites all over one
side of my body (not pretty) - all my clothes straight into the wash and me
into the shower... I thought it might be fleas, but my neighbour, who knows
a bit about wildlife, reckons its some sort of mite that lives in their
nests, and not having fed all winter, they went for me...

....so, how can I kill the bugs (whatever they are). They're vicious, and I
want them out. My neighbour thinks that if left for a year, they'll die
anyway, but that means I'll have to avoid the loft (not easy - loads of
stuff up there I want to use).

Thanks

Mike
