My House is Infested With Doodle Bugs

πŸ™ƒ

By Rowan Finley Published 9 months ago β€’ 1 min read

This morning, I walked into the kitchen and saw signs that doodle bugs have been on the move.

In the night, they must have been dancing with colorful groove.

If I call the bug man,

would he understand?

Has he exterminated this type of bug,

or is he prone to push their tracks under the rug?

Does he have a trap? πŸͺ€

Or some poison spray to make the bugs go splat? 🫟

Or has he never heard of doodle bugs before?

I suppose I could sweep their mess out the door…

But then, will they come back tonight, to leave more doodles on my floor?
