Here in Singapore, I would say your neighbours have bed bugs (different families) or some other insects. The ones shown on the images above feed only on other insects, so killing those would just eliminate the natural enemies of what is buggering you :)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Claas DamkenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429222405431464739.post-76238057124913480662011-05-04T21:36:06.066-07:002011-05-04T21:36:06.066-07:00Hi there - I'm very impressed by your blog!

I've lived in Singapore for over 15 years and have always been fascinated by the rich diversity of insects, birds and wildlife in general here.<br /><br />Howwver we have a problem with assassin bugs! I was wondering whether you know anything about getting rid of them? We have bamboo in the front of our house as a wall between our house and the semi d neighbours. We have noticed assassin bugs in the bamboo previously, but not for a while. But my neighbours are complaining about being bitten at night. We haven't had this problem, but I close the windows of the only bedroom at the front around midnight so my daughter only sleeps with open windows there from about 8 till 12. Our neighbours keep the windows open all night at the front. I'd like to help the neighbours and try to get rid of the bugs, but I don't generally do pest spraying/fogging and am not sure what to do. If you have any recommendations that would be great! Thank you. From Sonya - sonya@szpoj.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
