Living in the country has its share of challenges.
Yesterday, we were moving some boxes out of Holden's closet. The boxes had been in the same place for several years. Dre' went to move them and said look at this mess. I went in the closet with her and said "get out quick." I recognized the paper color and the way it stuck to the wall. I went for the wasp spray.
The wasp had gotten in the wall and taken advantage of a whole the Dish guy drilled to pull a cable into his room and they had built a nest in the closet. Thank goodness it was cold outside and the wasp were sluggish. The nest was at least two feet around and looked more like a hornet's nest than a wasp nest. There were portions of the nest three and a half feet up the wall from the main nest. There were literally thousands of wasp dripping from the nest. I set a bug bomb off in the closet and that killed most of the.
Now almost two working days later the wasps are dead and the closet is properly sealed. I didn't know that the closet had never been caulked.
What a nightmare. I didn't take pictures because I didn't want to scare Holden...heck I was scared enough for both of us.
Until next time...John
