how do you get rid of them?

[BOB]

Ah...I googled...never seen them. Hope someone has an answer for you

If you mean the tiny little black insects that bite, a good shake once you take the clothes off the line will remove them
I've tried blasting them in the drier and it only slows them down til the clothing cools down again

are they getting inside?

[mummytocuties]

thanks, ive been putting them in the dryer for a few mins but ill just give them a good shake now.

I also remember reading somewhere that it helps to bring in your clothes/nappies before dusk as thats when they tend to settle.

Yeah, they like the evening, just as it starts to cool down but is still nice and humid.
For tiny little insects, they sure do hurt!

I posted this same question a few weeks back. Seems that shaking them off is the only way. However, I found that they come with the hot winds, so if you can just hang out your clothes in cooler winds there are less of them. Also they usually only hang around for a few weeks! So hang in there and hopefully they'll be gone soon!
