Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 When DS was about 4 he was TERRIFIED of dustbunnies, goodness knows what he thought they were, but every night I had to go through a routine of dusting down the shelves and around his bed so there was no food for the DBs and spraying water with teatree oil added around his room as a deterrent so they didn't come out at night. We also had a picture of a fairy which we copied from a book, laminated & stuck above his bed so she watched over him. His room has never been so clean, it made him put his toys away for a while too!!! The things we do for our children !! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Look what Wikipedia reckons we should call them . I'm not saying which one might be most appropriate for us . In some regions of Britain, dust bunnies are sometimes called beggar's velvet. The synonym slut's wool is an old British term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 My house seems to be the ideal habitat for them. The best part about having a colony is that there are no vets bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitchHazel Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 That's great joojoo, thank you for sharing! Dustbunnies always remind me of miniature tumbleweed. We have solid floors through most of the house, and two very hairy cats, so we have a bit of a db farm going in the places Raymondo the ROomba can't reach.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 my poor dust bunnies. Rover the Roomba sucks them up from under the sofas (we also have wood floors so LOTS of dust bunnies), but then he deposits their mangled remains on the edge of the rug in the living room. It's quite a thick rug, so when Rover climbs up onto it he 'wipes' his brush on the edges... the poor dust bunnies end up as grey stripes along the borders of the rug. Perhaps I should round them up and send them to Redwing's sanctuary? It sounds so much kinder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
