The Gaming Den

I've had bees squatting my attic every summer for 3 years straight now, what a fucking nightmare.

Apparently, once they're inside the house, they're almost impossible to get rid of again. The only upside is the little fucks at least stay in the attic.

My burning hatred is consuming me; I need a beer.

One of my neighbors just had animal control out to deal with an angry swarm of bees that apparently set up residence in his garage wall. I didn't even know you could call animal control for that.

Better yet, some bee-keepers are apparently willing to remove them free of charge (I guess they keep the bees as payment).

Although the one I spoke to said mine were too deeply entrenched inside the masonry to get out without a jackhammer.

Get chickens. They'll eat earwigs. Pillbugs will go away if it's too dry for them to breath. Ants are a bitch though.

There was a hornet's nest nearly the size of a basketball in a tree right outside my front door when we moved into our house. Two cans of hornet spray fired right into the opening failed to get rid of them, but a gasoline covered torch finally did the trick. It didn't improve the way the tree looks, though, and I'm sure it wouldn't be very good for your attic.

For the hornets, a bright light aimed at the nest drew all of them to it. Otherwise I'd never have been able to get rid of them without getting freakin' stung to death.
