If, a 3-year-old and his parents say, "I have monsters in my room!"
The first thing we can do is to soothe the child and encourage the child to face the fear of the dark.
However, when the child has given feedback many times, and because of this so-called "monster" is so scared that he can't sleep peacefully, at this time, parents must pay attention, maybe there really is something in a hidden corner that only horror movies can appear.
Mom, there's a monster in the walls
A couple in North Carolina, USA, recently encountered a similar thing.
It is a family of five, they have three children, the youngest child is only a few months old, and Thaler is their eldest daughter, she is only 3 years old.
One day, she suddenly told her mother that there was a monster in the room, and due to her young age, the expression was not very clear, and Thaler had some trouble explaining the "monster".
And the mother Ashley thought that her daughter was talking about monsters in the closet, because the movie "Monster Electric Company" happened to be playing at home recently.
In order to overcome their daughter's fear, the husband and wife took turns to instill the child with thoughts, which roughly meant: "There is no one in the cupboard, and there are no monsters, so there is no need to be afraid." ”
At the same time, he also gave his daughter a "monster spray", filled it with water, and encouraged her: "If there is really a monster, you have to fight it bravely!"
However, the daughter's fear did not dissipate, but became more and more serious.
I was frequently awakened at night, and I didn't even dare to stay alone in the back.
"She kept saying there were monsters and that she was only willing to sleep in our room. ”
Mother Ashley said: By this time, she thought that the child was doing it, because there was another baby in the family recently, and the eldest daughter Thaler did this, probably to gain the love of her parents.
Until one day, the couple noticed that there were always bees entering the attic. Since I lived in a 100-year-old house, I immediately invited a pest company to inspect the site.
But the staff advised them to find a beekeeper to deal with it, because these bees are an endangered species and cannot be sanitized with medicinal water, they come and go frequently, they are looking for a hive, and the hive is likely to be in the house.
Beekeeper: I've never seen a hive this big
So, the couple quickly found a beekeeper to deal with it, thinking it was a very simple matter, but it was not.
There have been several rounds of beekeepers, and everyone has a different story.
The first beekeepers thought the bees were just wandering outside the house and did not enter the house, and one beekeeper drilled a hole in the attic and said he didn't see anything suspicious.
It wasn't until a beekeeper took a thermal imager to inspect it that he found something on the wall of his daughter's room, as shown below:
When she saw this picture, her mother, Ashley, was shocked: "Could it be that there is a corpse in the wall?"
This statement was immediately refuted by the beekeeper: "It's just a big beehive." ”
When the wall was actually opened, the beekeeper was also startled by the sight in front of him:
Like in a horror movie, swarms of bees escape from the walls, black and pressing, and the walls are full of honey, slimy, and very scary to run down with the walls.
On the first day, the beekeeper removed 20,000 bees, vacuumed them three times, took out a 45-kilogram hive, and he also found the queen bee and moved the queen and some of the bees to a safe new home;
The next day, the beekeeper came back and took out another 20,000 bees, and then covered the hole with plastic and sealed the wall;
However, it wasn't over yet, and while the hive was transferred, there were plenty of bees coming back afterward.
In total, he cleared about 60,000 bees, and 45 kilograms of hives, which entered the walls through the attic, which had a hole the size of a coin.
This hive, which took the bees about eight months to build, was the largest in his 40-year career, filled with a large garbage bag, which was so heavy that it had to be covered in three layers.
At last
According to the video released by Ashley, the damage caused to the home by cleaning the large beehive was as high as $20,000.
Worst of all, this cost is not covered by insurance, and their reasoning is that it is preventable.
But this is not the most exaggerated, because of the beehive, the house is full of honey, and the house is like "a cookie stained with honey", attracting a large number of insects and ants.
After cleaning the hive, Ashley found another ant colony in the house, and there were already ant queens stationed in the walls, which was really miserable!
The family had to move out again to deal with the infestation.
The only thing that is fortunate is that my daughter's monster fear has been lifted.
