I'm living in some deep fear right now. Anyone ever heard of the Mortar Bee? I'm sharing a house with a colony of them. This harrowing situation was first brought to my attention when I woke up with one trying to crawl in my ear when I woke up. I brushed it out thinking it was a mozzie only to find a fat bodied six legged drone strutting across my chest. I jumped up and fought it to the finish with my pillow. It was around the third round of smothering this thing that was reluctant to die that the adrenalin wore off and the humming above my head became apparent. I looked up and saw another 5 of the things floating around my room. It was an infestation.
I fled down stairs in nothing but my boxers only to find the bees had beaten me down there too. A good ten or so had invaded the kitchen and a similar number in the living room. This was about a week ago. Every day has been the same since. There's no hiding, they come through the walls. You get some scary shit in the countryside.

Wow, with the right screenplay that could be a great short horror film.Killer French Bread wrote:I'm living in some deep fear right now. Anyone ever heard of the Mortar Bee?

So what's the plan to get rid of them? Exterminators on the way?

Rang some grumpy guy from the council and he curtly said I was about the 10th person that had bothered him today about this and I just need to wait for them to die naturally. And it's fine because only the females sting. Cheers. Apparently they only exist in bee form from hatching in april until june when they die. The rest of there life is s a grub in walls. I go round picking them up with a glass and chucking them out every morning but they always return. Through the walls. It doesn't matter how many holes I find and plug, they get in some other way. These things are designed to get through walls.
Yesterday I had to run through a cloud of the things hovering around the outside of the garage. Must have been hundreds of them probing away at the concrete looking for weaknesses. They want in and there's nothing I can do about it.

I think it might be extermination time: Go and get some insecticide form the supermarket and start quoting war films.Killer French Bread wrote:Rang some grumpy guy from the council and he curtly said I was about the 10th person that had bothered him today about this and I just need to wait for them to die naturally.

Damn man, these bees are something fierce. An exterminator does sound like a god option. Reminds me of the 311 hotline New York City has. It's a really crappy service. And one time there was a infestation in a series of apartments and the people living there has to wait weeks before something was done.Killer French Bread wrote:Rang some grumpy guy from the council and he curtly said I was about the 10th person that had bothered him today about this and I just need to wait for them to die naturally.

i'm only staying here for another few days as it's my mum's house, so I've just got to survive a few more nights of them and hope nothing has crept into my flat in the meantime. It's annoying, I leave to do some quite studying and it just happens that my visit coincided precisely with the bees' breeding season.
