Well, kind of.
My Saturday was not fun. There was a swarm of angry bees outside my kitchen window and they were managing to somehow get into my kitchen. The BF & I taped up every crack, crevice & hole we could find yet they kept coming. We used a ton of spray and went through nearly a whole role of duct tape. The complex office called their regular pest control and guess what? They're not open on the weekends. So they called a bee guy, but he couldn't come out until between 6-8pm because he had 2 other jobs to take care of first. The BF & I had tickets for the Toy Story 3D double feature, plus the whole thing was making me crazy, so I had to get out for awhile. The girl from the complex office came over though so I could show her everything so she could explain it all to the bee guy. She was freaked out when she saw how the bees were swarming outside. It was like something out of a horror movie.
Anyhow, we locked up the cats with food, water and a litterbox in the bedroom (plus put a towel under the door to be safe and headed out for awhile. The bee guy called me from the movies (luckily before they started) and let me know he treated the area He found a few nests and removed them and said any remaining bees should be gone within a day (but the treatment should take care of them). He said if they're still around Monday to have the complex office call him and he'll come back out to re-treat (but he doesn't think he'll have to).
What an ordeal. The really freaky part is I've never been stung so I have no idea if I'm allergic. My dad is allergic bad, but my mom isn't. Didn't see any bees flying around when we got back from the movies, so that's a good sign. Cleaned up all the dead ones on the kitchen floor, the counter top & the window sil. We're going to untape everything and give the kitchen a good cleaning tomorrow. Until then, I'm keeping the cats shut in the bedroom with me to be safe. Hope I can sleep tonight. Today was a nightmare. Going to the movies did help get my mind off it for awhile though.
*shudder*
