Since Monday, an entire week, I have not opened my front door. I don’t dare, as I can see through the door’s window that bumblebees are flying around between the screen door and the front door. If I open the door, they will fly right into my house. It all started when I contacted a pest control company to spray my house as I do every spring. Unfortunately this year, the spraying somehow stirred up a nest by my front door and the bees are tormenting me.
I would have taken care of the problem immediately, but I live in a 4-unit condominium. Any work done on the outside of the building must be approved by all the owners -- which takes time. Before hiring anyone, I had to obtain a few estimates then email the owners and wait for them to make a decision and give their approval.
On Tuesday morning, the Kwik Kill Company will get rid of all the bees and hornets around my building. But until then, I still don’t dare open my front door. And so, the Sunday newspaper that I can see on my front porch will remain outside until Tuesday afternoon when all the bees will be gone.

PEST CONTROL
Summer weather has finally arrived. But along with the warmer temperatures have come many creepy, crawling creatures. Yes… in the last few days, I have killed or found a dead bee, a hornet, several spiders, etc. etc. throughout my house. It’s driving me crazy. But this is not new and almost every spring I call a pest control company and pay them to spray my house, inside and out, to prevent future bugs from invading my premises.
In the past I have paid about $75 for their service. But when I called for quotes today, I could hardly believe how much the price had jumped – in fact doubled to $150 for one company and $175 for another. The $150 company did tell me that if one or more of the neighbors in my 4-unit building also signed up for the service, they would drop the price to $125. I had hoped they might have reduced it a little more, but I’ll take whatever I can get. So, I’ve sent my neighbor’s an email and I’ll be anxious to hear their response.
