I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I just discovered we are infested, including me apparently. At least I guess that's what they are. They seem to be either black or red depending on when they last fed. I spotted them crawling on the tanks. And I have bites on me. Yay. These things always happen at the WORST possible times. Our financial situation is improving, but we won't actually see the increase for another week and a half. In the meantime we are flat broke and have maxed out our charge cards trying to survive. So I can't do anything about this for a week and a half. Argh! Unless somebody knows of something I can concoct of common household ingredients?
