HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Inside their tiny home in Aldine, Armando Delgado and his mother served breakfast to 3-year-old Hanna and 6-year-old Armando Jr.
Armando and his wife Jenny raise their two kids here, but they are sharing a home with Armando’s mother and father, both of them in their 80′s, and the house has one gigantic, possibly deadly problem that is getting worse everyday.
A massive mixture of wasps, honey bees and African killer bees have taken up residence in several parts of the home, in the ceiling and the attic of the house.
The largest concentration is at the front of the home where the brick siding meets the roof and where hundreds of buzzing bees can be seen clearly massing every day.
”I’ve got to be honest, we’re pretty frightened because we have young kids and my folks are both seniors and we have already had one incident and it was close to tragic,” Armando said.
In fact, just two months ago Armando’s mother, Juana, was attacked and swarmed by the bees just walking by the front of the house to bring in the garbage cans.
“It was over 20 bees that attacked and stung her. It was all over her face, her head, her neck and back and arms. And within like twenty minutes she started vomiting, throwing up, and sweating, her eyes were swollen shut in fact,” Armando said.
Armando says this bee invasion has been growing worse and worse over the past three years.
Armando, his wife and his parents are terrified the kids will be the next ones to be attacked, because the bees are setting up hives all over the house, including right above the outside patio.
But with a price tag of $5,000 to clear the bees out, neither Armando or his parents can possibly pay to have the bees removed.
So Armando contacted the Spencer Solves It team and now we are going to work along with master bee hunter Claude Griffin of Gotcha Pest Control to eliminate this dangerous, growing problem.
“Looking the house over, I’d say there are approximately 85,000 bees living in there and I’m pretty much all the time right because this is what I do every single day,” Claude said.
Claude says this will be a dangerous project we are embarking on, we will need to be very careful and of course will have to have the entire family and their pets leave before we begin cutting into portions of the house and removing the bees, but we will get this job done and will do it absolutely free.
Stay tuned!
