Regularly repair rugs, finding bugs (7)
I believe the answer is:
earwigs
'bugs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'regularly repair rugs' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'rugs' becomes 'wigs' (rug is a slang term for a wig).
The alternating letters of 'repair' are 'ear'.
'ear'+'wigs'='EARWIGS'
'finding' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for earwigs that I've seen before include "listens in furtively" , "Elongated insects" , "Bugs" , "Eavesdrops on the insects" , "Insect with pincers" .)
