Help! Help! I'm being invaded!*update pg 3*

[delswife]

OMG! What am I going to do?!?

A couple days ago I was lying in bed watching a movie and I felt something crawl on my finger.

My first instinct is to freak first, ask questions later. So I did that.

I jumped out of bed, okay, no, I roll-fell out of bed shaking my hand as hard as I could trying to get what ever it was off my finger. The top of my body was on the floor; my legs were caught in the blankets still on the bed.

It was hanging on to my finger and I had to more whip my hand than shake it. That turned out to be painful later. During this, I was screaming “Del!” while still trying to escape what-ever it was on my finger.

Del couldn’t hear me from the living room. Piggy the cat did and came and sat on my chest. I don’t know how that was supposed to help.

So, I did eventually whip it off my finger and it landed in the bed on my remote control. I ran to the living room and screamed as loud as I could at Del. “Help! Help!”

He wasn’t happy when he found out I scared the heck out of him and there was no ax murderer in the bed room, just a bee.

From the condition of the bed room he could tell it put up a heck of a fight.

So he killed it and I saw him do that. I watched him put the bee corpse in the trash. I was still squeamish but he kept telling me everything was going to be fine, it was gone, quit being a baby.

The following night, I hear ‘bee hitting the window’ sounds and ONLY because it was 3:30 am I took my pillow and went to sleep on the couch instead of waking Del up to kill it.

I left a note for Del in the bathroom that read “Had to go, another bee in bedroom. Please kill it before you leave for work.” When he kissed me goodbye I asked him in my sleepy haze if he did as he was instructed and he said he did.

Later in the afternoon, I went back to the bedroom to get the laundry and there was a bee on the window blind.

I left the house until Del came home.

When he walked into the house, I yelled at him, “You LIED!”

He yelled back “No I DIDN’T! What are we yelling about?”
I told him that the bee was back, he didn't kill it. He said he did kill the one that morning, this one was a new one.

I would have lived a much longer life if he had never told me that.

He killed the new one bringing the bee death toll to 3.

But we live in the State of Maine; it is starting to get colder so the bees have to die off. Right?

Wrong! Yesterday, I trapped another on in the bedroom by shutting the door and its little friend under a coffee cup in the hallway. That was the scariest thing I have ever had to do.

Del killed those, bringing the new bee death toll to 5 and told me he would look to see where they were coming from.

He didn't. Because if he did, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now with my bedroom barracked with a laundry basket, blanket and piggy standing guard at the door.

As I type this, there are NINE bees in there! NINE! Why? It’s getting colder, why don’t they die?

I called Del at work and he promised me he would get rid of the nest as soon as he found it tonight. Now we are talking about a nest?!? How did a nest get inside my house?

I’m leaving. I will be back if my husband keeps his promise. If not, I will be living in my truck. I know there are no bees in there.

LMAO!!!

I think I peed as I read this!!! I always heard you were a riot!!

Maybee the bees made a nest and are getting in by duct work??

Maybee you have a whole in a window??

LOL...anyway..thanks for the laugh!

 

[NMAmy]

Well, no bees in the truck till you open the door and they follow you in! Just kidding. I think.

I swear you're distantly related to dd. The child is afraid of moths--can you imagine what happens when she sees a bee? What's a moth gonna do, nibble on your sweater?

Didn't you have cricket induced trauma before too? You poor thing. I hope Del gets home soon to get rid of the nest!

Now, I'm mocking you, but I must admit--if I see a mouse, I am the first one having a hissy fit while standing on a chair. It's quite a sight to see! A mouse is a worthy adversary--I mean, you can't crush it with your shoe or a rolled up newspaper (I've tried.)

Thanks for the giggles!

Well Piggy certainly isn't any help!!!!

I have two cats (of the 8 of course) who kill ANYTHING that moves. We have a problem with a few wasps coming in through the attic every year and they don't stand a chance with my two monsters!!!!!!

I think you should buy Piggy some friends to kill the bees that way you don't have to rely on Dell!!!

 

[EsmeraldaX]

LOL

I am allergic to bees. If I get stung, I could die. This is my worst nightmare, but you made it fun to read.

 

[mic&min]

Ok, bees freak me out. I would have the same reaction!!!

We had some warm days this weekend and the bees were out. I would run into the house and slam the door shut behind me.

I hate them!!!

 

[flaps]

LOL! Your tales are always such an enjoyable read. Thx for sharing.

Hope you can move back into your hiv, er home again soon.

When I kept killing bees in my son's room, we found the nest...

...

well, you probably don't want to know this.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

ACK! I would have reacted the same way as you. When I was in High School, there was a wasp nest in my classroom unbeknownst to me and as I was standing by the window where it was, one of them got stuck in my hair! I ran around the class screaming at the top of my lungs and pulling at my hair.

I hate bees.

 

[Planogirl]

Del had better check for a nest. We had a wasp nest in the attic recently and it scared the tar out of me.

So, have you set up your truck yet?

 

[UncleKyle]

I can only imagine if they were in my room. Even after having a lawn mowing business for 10 years and getting stung 4 or 5 times a summer, I still am scared of them.

 

[coliebird]

I feel your pain. We had them in our living room wall. For weeks I would tell my husband the wall was buzzing, he thought I was doing drugs. Finally he spotted a wet spot in the top corner by the ceiling. He touched it, it opened right up and bees came flying into the living room.

Good luck and stay safe. I am on 33 years of never being stung and I plan to keep that record going.

Now that is something out of a horror movie!!

psst ...... tell us, you really got me thinking now....is it worse than coliebirds?

 

[TiggerPiglet]

Do you have a fireplace? I ask this because we have a problem with bees every Sept./Oct. This is when they're dying off and if there are nests in your chimney, they come into your house for the warmth. We've gotten the nests removed, but there will always be some bees that will come down the chimney, because they will feel the warmth from your house. We usually try to spray around the chimney to try the keep them from coming in. If you do this, don't forget to keep the windows open to air the house out.

Seriously, you should warn people before you tell that story. I'm now gonna have nightmares!

 

[MICKEY88]

if you heard bee hitting the window sounds I'd check all around the window frame for signs of entry, we had the same problem a few falls ago they were invading my son's bedroom, I bought bee traps at the local hardware store. and placed them inside and outside his bedroom..

 

[jwsqrdplus2]

Robin-

I am sorry about your escapdes with the bees, but I am glad you can still keep your sense of humor long enough to post it for us!

Thanks for the giggle.

 

[Rajah]

Oh no!! We had a similar problem this spring. I swear over the course of 2 months we found and killed about 2 dozen mud-dobbers. If they'd been the wasps they looked like instead of the relatively-harmless mud dobbers, I would have been reacting in a similar fashion!

Now, it's ants we're fighting.

Believe it or not, it's exactly the same!!!!

I kept putting my ear against the wall of our living room and it was something out of a horror movie! BZZZZZZ. My son's room is the first room up the stairs next to the living room wall (split level home).

DH poked holes in the wall and sprayed like mad! The nest went in between the studs from the basement floor up into the attic! They had made a hole outside under the eave of the front porch and made themselves quite a winter home!

We knew that you're not supposed to spray this stuff like we did, so it was an excuse to go away for the weekend

The worst part about it was this spring. My son was home sick in his room and hollered at the top of his lungs, "There's a huge bee in here!" Well, I'm sorry, huge was an understatement. I've never seen anything like it. It was at least 2 inches long and just monsterous. I got my DS out of the room and went in armed with the hornet killer. It headed towards the window and I blasted it.

I think it must have been a queen looking for a summer home.
