I think it's because we have no recessed lighting directly over the bed. <br /><br />If they are getting in through the attic, they're falling through the tiny openings in the electrical compartment of the lights when the lights are off (and cool). <br /><br />But usually they walk in from the outside under the door. We're replacing the weatherstripping to take care of that little problem.<br /><br />Their "let's try to sting Maria parade" is all seasonal and weather related.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-72304577669186795002012-10-02T05:42:04.217-05:002012-10-02T05:42:04.217-05:00LOL!
