Get yourself an OCD and wipe them worktops Girl. Only way.

We're riddled with them as well. Make sure you keep your worktops free of all foodstuff.

Check with Reception Doreen as the owners may well be covered by their Community Charges and the apartment will get sprayed. We paid to have ours sprayed then found out it was included in our fees.
