« on: April 15, 2012, 04:22:35 am »
friday homeowner watched a swarm move into the wall.  they drew this in 2 days.


that night, caught this swarm at 2 am lol


tuesday swarm at foundry/forge




wed cutout


sat cutout


two deeps like this


sat swarm in the mayhaws


and one renter calling me, in tears crying on the phone.. the landlord sprayed the colony because he didnt want to cut it out.. now she has "maggots", beetles and other creepy crawly things coming out of the walls.  at least a 5 year old colony in 2nd floor joists..  bad deal.

it was a red hot metal donut!  I could stand about 60 feet away and feel the heat from it.  looks like after it cools, they would cut it into big flanges.  they had some the were machined on the ground that were about a foot thick and 4 foot diameter.  the guy driving the forklift had a metallic suit on.
