Wasp Invasion





Last Wednesday morning we (James, Aisling, & Conor) were sitting in our kitchen minding our own business when . . . James noticed a little hole in the ceiling. He touched the hole and it became bigger, and something started crawling out. Since we have no bug spray, James sprayed the hole with windex!!!!! He then stood on a chair and held a tupperware container over the hole. The container then began to fill up with angry, buzzing wasps. Aisling, who had remained very calm during the whole episode (not!), ran and found the duct tape. The problem was how to get the container off the hole and get the hole coverered without getting stung or filling the house with wasps. Aisling then grabbed Conor and ran to the neighbors house to get wasp spray (in her pajamas, of course). Our neigbor came over with the spray and somehow she and James killed the wasps and covered the hole without getting stung at all. Praise the Lord!

The duct tape fell off later that day, and we replaced it with cardboard. It goes well with our kitchen decor!

Don't think you have enough duct tape on the hole.
