Mites or Ticks..?

..Has provided a lovely waste of time down yon t'Internet rabbit hole this morning.

I have made a little vow to attempt to Blip for the immediate future, hoping it will provide a little taste of home to a nephew volunteering in a hospital far far away.
I shall hardly be setting him afire with mites on the raspberries :-/

What can you do Gladys?

You have to work with what you've got.

In other very exciting news, a hedgehog house arrived this morning!
We have found evidence of hedgehogs in the garden, and hope to encourage, lure them even. (Which admittedly sounds a bit weird).

Do hedgehogs eat mites?
