Kaitlin'smom wrote: Well last night my DH was mowing the grass and got attacked by bees, and got stung once sad.gif well he did not know but he irrated the nest thats underground.... ohmy.gif so with that we called a co to come out and get ride of them, since DH's grandfather is deathly allergic, one sting can kill him and there is no way i will let kaitlin out there knowing this now. So the met DH at lunch, he calles me to let me it its worst than what we knew, I am thinking great there going to dig up the yard, nope we have termites, thankfully they have not gotten in the house yet but they have tried ohmy.gif , so now I am seeing bigger $$ okay so now I am prepaired for that well then to find out we also have one tree in the front yard with carpenter ants ohmy.gif mad.gif now more $$....boy do I feel broke now sad.gif

okay a few hugs would be great now

I am just glad we did find this out early and no bugs are in the house other wise I would freek and not want to stay there.

Kaitlin'smom replied:

I guess in a way, it is good that this happened and you discovered all of this now. We had carpenter ants too and didn't know it. They eat the trees from the inside out, and we had so many tall trees together,that it is hard to tell when one is dead. Well, one tree fell on our house (as you may remember). We had several trees removed and the other trees treated. So, I feel your pain in the pocketbook.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
yep i remember thats why we want to take care of it now before that happens...but with my luck the tree would probably fall on the neighbors house!

ediep replied: oh man, that stinks! If you have a pest contol company that you use, they may have a year contact that you can buy for a few hundred dollars, but then they come out any time for the next year at no charge.
Good Luck

My2Beauties replied: Man that really bites, I'm so sorry! sad.gif My DF and I are looking to buy a house in the next few months and I'm not looking forward to those types of expenses.

amynicole21 replied: Ugh, I'm sorry!! We just had a carpenter ant problem, but they were IN the house ohmy.gif I hate bugs sooooo much. *shudder* I hope that it doesn't cost you too much grouphug.gif

kimberley replied: grouphug.gif grouphug.gif sorry to hear you are going through this. glad you caught it in time though.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
yep with the company we went with its a 2 year contract for the termites and 1 year for any kind of bug problem.



oh we also had a wasp nest they took care of and a yellow jacket nest, well most of the are gone today, they are comming by again thursday to do another killing just to make sure, and the guy told us last night if we see anything to call him.....the funny thing is my DH knows him, tookthem a few mintues to figure out from where but they did laugh.gif

MomToMany replied: sad.gif Oh man! How awful! I hope they can get it all taken care of. That's too scary when you know a family member is allergic.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
they came and did all the treatments yesterday, I am just thankfull we found out now before any of them got into the house....that would have creeped me out. Hopefully nothing else will show up but if they do its covered for a year.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: grouphug.gif OH WOW! That's a lot happening in your yard! I hope you will be able to get rid of everything all at once so they won't have to keep coming back and spraying the yard. When are they going to start spraying? I'm sorry to hear this, keep us posted! grouphug.gif

Kaitlin'smom replied:
they did it all yesterday, and they will be back thursday evening to do another for the bees.

as for the termites they come once a month for 2 years to check and treat.

Boys r us replied: ((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

yeah being a homeowner can stink..but in the end, the pros outweigh the cons!! Just try to remember that!
