Returning home from vacation by taking the red-eye flight across the states from California to North Carolina, one thing besides the cheap fare that you don't receive from flying, and especially on the red-eye flight (which means flying after midnight) is not a lot of sleep!! Coming home after an extended vacation the thing you want the most is a good nights sleep!
So returning to see family at home and that includes your pets, you don't expect or anticipate new house guests! And that's what I encountered my first day home, the invasion of, not body snatchers, or pesty mice, but the invasion of the STINK BUGS!!
I was not sure of what kind of species they were at first, I was too busy catching and disposing of them in a frantic rush!! Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't love all of God's creatures, but these ugly, flying and mostly stinking bugs, are not my favorites!! And especially not stinking up my home!!!
I did inform my landlady, which she stated that "they had been invaded also!" And after telling her the major invasion that had attacked me and my pets, she quickly came to my rescue!! She brought me, not bug spray, or an exterminator, but the hand held vacuum to quickly suck up the creatures and dispose of them in the trash! Well, I resorted to my technique of catching them and smashing them in toliet paper and sticking them in the dog's stink pail!!
Just as I finished that last paragraph, one of those pesty stink bugs flew down to the curtain above my computer and landed where I could see him! And as quick as he landed I jumped up to grab a napkin from the table and made a daring swoop to catch him before he flew away to another spot! YEA!! He's captured and put with the rest of the bugs in the stinky pail!!
