Dear House Pest,
I'm writing for some advice on what to do about the dust bunnies that keep showing up in my china cabinet. They keep breaking my grandmothers plates and making a mess. They also get onto the bookshelves and chew on the books. What should I do?

Dear Dusty Dilemma,
That sounds like your average dustbunny infestation all right! Fortunately there are ways to get rid of them and prevent them from coming back.

Dustbunnies spawn from a pile up of dust and dirt in households, usually in places that aren't touched much. To get rid of them, spend more time using your good plates and reading those books! The more you interfere with their habitat, the less welcome they'll feel. By doing this you'll be preventing a buildup dust that creates the bunnies.

But you need to make sure you keep dusting and cleaning those spots regularly too! Dustbunnies spawn like rabbits (no pun intended) so to make sure they don't comeback you need to keep your house dust free! I hope this helps.
