So, the house was successfully tented, and only moderate levels of annoyance greeted us afterwards. To wit:
- Thank you, pest control dudes, for leaving every fucking blind and drapery in our house WIDE FUCKING OPEN so that any passerby could peruse my worldly possessions, especially since you left the garage door open and had to detach the fence, on both sides, granting easy access.
- Mmmmm, stench of death. I realize that it's probably fairly common for critters to die underneath the homes you treat. Clean your tents occasionally.
- In a related note, DUDE, WHERE THE FUCK DID THREE THOUSAND FLIES COME FROM? Probably a couple dozen in the house, but outside, there were swarms of hundreds of them. Not really going anywhere, it was too hot for them to be chilled into lethargy, and a brisk application of RAID and a rolled-up newspaper killed most of 'em, but, still... there weren't that many flies around the corpse of the ten-pound possum behind my garage last summer.
No mammalian death seems to have happened at GMBAN - the month-old brown tiger kitten made themselves known this morning (still dunno gender).
The Hyatt - really fuckin' nice.
