HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's BUGS IN MY HOUSE!!!!!!

[Sequoia]

HELP HELP X.X

I opened up a cupboard, and lo and behold there sat one of my father's missing forgotton bags of potatoes, and HUNDREDS OF NASTY TINY FLY THINGS CAME OUT X.X

I'm dealing with it the mundane way right now, but these bugs are driving me CRAZY!! Is there ANY sort of spell or ritual I can do to aid me in getting rid of these buggers?? ANYTHING??

*CRY FREAK OUT* *SWAT AWAY FROM FACE*

If they are those tiny, gnat-like things, 'bout the only thing you can do is spray where you see them, & thoroughly clean what drew 'em in the first place (in this case, where the potatoes were), like you were sterilizing the area. They have a short life span, & will die eventually.

Dont rule out the idea that the 'flies' might be trying to tell you something. NO...I am not talking about the literal, but rather a symbol.

Pay attention to nature. Even the yucky parts!

I say squish now, figure out the message later. And never leave potatoes unattended ever again.

Aha! I remember someone asking about flies before!

Bugs are not fun, but in light of Mol's post..I think it is good advice, but to Chibi's "shoot now ask questions later"

how can you find out the mesg when youve destroyed the vessel???

I thin kthe message is "throw away dad's old food."

or perhaps "don't forget about things, then let them rot." there's a japanese sayign I can't remember about putting a lid on smelly things instead of dealing with the problem. . . or something. . . .

Well what do flies mean to you? What do they hover around and feed off of? Take this not necessarily in a literal sense but a spiritual - what old ideas, beliefs, or actions are you letting decay instead of letting go of? I like your idea of dealing with issues and moving on, not just putting a lid over them - think about that.

As far as getting rid of them - the threads shared her with herbal ideas are great. You might also add some magick to it - when you prepare the wash or potion there, empower your herbs and your mixture. Empower it for cleansing both of physical matters and spiritual matters that you need to get rid of. It's like when I vaccuum I think of it not only picking up physical dirt but I visualize it picking up astral yeucky stuff. Same idea.
