Anyone who’s had to find a housemate online or rented in a London houseshare has, at some point, lived with a pest. And while human ones are challenging enough, they’re a piece of cake compared to the insect kind.
You can’t reason with fruit flies nibbling freely at your snacks in the kitchen or prevent ants from entering your private space by asking them politely to stop or taping a pass-agg note to your door.

Similarly, moths may not borrow your clothes but they will ruin them, and bed bugs don’t seem to understand the word ‘no’, no matter how stern your tone.
