Mobile or mikes for bugging (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irksome

'bugging' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mobile or mikes' is the wordplay.
'mobile' indicates an anagram.
'or'+'mikes'='ormikes'
'ormikes' with letters rearranged gives 'IRKSOME'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for irksome that I've seen before include "bugging" , "Troublesome, vexing" , "Burdensome and tedious" , "Annoying - tedious" , "Annoying or tiresome" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
