We have one recommended by FurBaby. Not cheap but very pleasant and always on time. If he likes you he'll start leaving 7th Day Advntist, or is it Mormon, magazines about how to live your life in a healthy god fearing way.

Haven't got the number here but if you're still interested after BoD gives you the name of his, let me know.
So…if you wish to wish a wish, you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.

Thanks - they're buzzing around in the stairwell in the void above the 3rd floor and ultimately (I think & hope) dropping dead on the stairs.

I know I posted his details at least once on the old place - can we put them in the Useful section?

The new board will hopefully have a Recommendtaion section with ratings so people who have used the service can rate it.

Well if there was, you probably couldn't afford it.

So slinks - seeing as he's on his way round I guess you told him you're a believer.

He didn't ask on the phone & he's here as I type! The small slinkies just got home & they talk a mile-a-minute, so I'm not sure he'll get a word in while he's here :lol:

You mean it doesn't make you want to shag women when you get drunk? (Disclaimer: yes, I know, that's not hte only way to get AIDS)

So, he had to climb up into the ceiling from the master bathroom to spray the hive(s) and 'execute' (his word) the bees. When he was explaining what he needed to do, he seemed a bit concerned that I might not want the bees 'executed' or something [smilie=rotflmao.gif] Yeah, right, like I want to live the Amityville Horror everytime I walk up and down my stairs :lol: I said, 'Yes, execute them, whatever, just get rid of them, please.' Unfortunately, they weren't executed before slinkette stepped on one and got stung :(

Bill was $450 :o (LL agent better get on it and get my reimbursement to me ASAP) Very nice guy -- he was clearly uncomfortable telling me how much it was going to cost. Hopefully they are gone for good!

You're lucky! My 15 foot high hornets nest could only be killed by spraying it with petrol and then setting it alight. The stench of fried hornets was around for days and it took ages for the tree to grow back:(.

Poor little Slinky I remember a bee sting in my bum when I was little, ouch...

Yes, lots of tears - it definitely hurt :( Happened just as I was on the phone telling the LL agent what was up & before I handed the phone to Eric, he didn't know what to do for slinkette - poor guy. He pretty much told me to take the kids out of the house and away while he was dealing with the hive - I don't think he wanted any more stings.
