Wasp Issue!

This past week I was dealing with a wasp problem in my apartment. Fun times! I looked over at one point Wednesday afternoon and noticed a wasp buzzing around in the windowsill. After closer inspection I realized it wasn't just 1 wasp it was 4 wasps. Seemed odd that 4 wasps could get in the apartment so I started checking around. It wasn't long before I witnessed a wasp flying out of the fireplace.

I had been hearing strange noises coming from the chimney but I assumed it was acorns falling into it. Never would have suspected wasps. Apparently wasps attempting to overtake chimneys in the Dallas area is a annual problem this time of year. Good to know!

The scariest scene was on Wednesday night, I opened the flume of the chimney and out swarmed numerous wasps. I screamed like a 10 year old girl while the boys barked. At one point there were so many wasps I couldn't handle it I had to just get out of the room let the wasps calm down because they were angry. That actually worked I returned to the living room awhile later and was able to get control of the wasp population.

We have been smoking the wasps out of the chimney. We've had 3 fires in the fireplace. No wasps since Friday so I think the issue is solved. However, the weather turned cold and rainy again on Friday so that likely helped cure the wasp problem.
