Hated to do it, but I had to serve the eviction notice on the 10,000-20,000 or so squatters. They ignored it. So I had to follow up with nerve gas. Unfortunately they weren't where they could be collected and given a new home.

Gotta call a mason and get a lock put back.


Are you talking about moles, gophers or illegal aliens?

Insects? Bats?

Has to be be bees, probably a swarm.

That would be a sticky problem.

I would say so, I used to be a beekeeper. If they get in a confined placed, where they are virtually inaccessible and a risk to residents, then what Gary Charpentier says would have to be done. But then I don't know what he was talking about, could be football fans.

Alien life forms.

No bees in a wall. A siding brick fell out, hole in the wood behind and they thought it would make a good home. Really hate to do that with CCD. They didn't seem aggressive so they likely weren't Africanized. However I'm allergic so I can't have the possibility of sharing living space with them.

Besides they ignored the quit or pay rent notice.


I hope you managed to squeeze into that hole and live there OK without sharing with those little stingers.

A bugs a Bug, there's millions upon millions of the critters and a few less won't make any difference right now.

Honey bees are not bugs. Without their pollination of crops there would be millions upon millions of humuns not eating much. But I don't care either way; I'm allergic to bee stings and the next one will probably kill me. But don't worry, I'll take the little bug with me...

Well they are insects, But yeah they are useful/needed and as long as their not Africanized, fairly easy to deal with. I was mainly talking about pests, Bees can be moved, Just get the Queen, The rest will follow I think.

It's been a while since I was last stung. Then I got it in a finger and you could trace the red inflamed veins back up my arm to my shoulder for a few days. I don't want to chance another encounter as I'm told they tend to get worse the more you have.

Ice, just wondering if Africanized bees are an issue where you are. I'm not even sure a beekeeper is permitted to keep a wild swarm here.

It's a good thing the UK doesn't have more than 1 time zone, Or one would be a West coast and the other would be the East coast, resulting in one being BWST and the other being the BEST time zone by default. LOL

A sure sign that I am getting older: it is 10:05 on a lovely Saturday evening and I am so sleepy that all I can think about is my bed.

It was the nightmare I endured from time to time when I was under 9 years old, but those were also good times that I don't remember much of. :D
