Just when I thought the pest situation here was becoming bearable, the geese, well, what can you do....the mice appear to have been banished from our building at last....my husband has been finding yellow jackets in our basement over the past 3 days. An investigation showed they are building a nest under the back deck near the furnace fresh air intake valve and it appears that is where they are getting in. I sent in a maintenance request a few minutes ago, so hopefully tomorrow we will get some action. In the meantime we are keeping the door to the basement shut in hopes none of them make their way into our living quarters, I have an EpiPen at the ready, just in case, and my husband has stuffed some insulation bits into the cracks in the cement wall around the entry valve in hopes of discouraging any more of the little beasts from coming inside. Please pray that neither of us gets stung while we wait for the maintenance department to come....hopefully tomorrow....and deal with these creatures. Our fake wasp nest that we have used successfully the past two summers to keep them from making nests up on the deck, after a frustrating couple of years with them nesting there, has worked again on top of the deck but they have made their way underneath now. Sigh.....I am trying not to be frightened and asking God to protect us while we wait for the fumigators.
It is still a great day, just has this little glitch going on...hopefully not for too much longer.
