Well last night around 10 pm or so my friend Sarah called to ask if I wanted to come visit for a little while. She has purchased a new home that I have yet to see. I was going into the kitchen to get my purse when I see a bunch of tiny white flying bugs. At that time I could see about 10 of them flying around the kitchen light. I yelled for Eric and by the time he had made it into the kitchen there were more! They were everywhere. They had an almost translucent look, and unless they were flying around you could not see them. Eric threw on some shoes and headed out to get some bug spray while I pulled out the vacuum and started sucking those little suckers up. We had tried to use an old school fly swatter on them with no luck. The vacuum was actually doing a good job. By the time Eric got back though, they were EVERYWHERE. Hundreds of them. When he would spray it would aggravate them even more and they just started going crazy. More and more came out of the light fixture. How did this happen? Then I remembered that the maintenance team brought new air filters the other day, so I went and looked and there were tons covering the air filter. I took it outside and we continued to spray and vacuum. We even called the emergency maintenance line, as this WAS an emergency, lol. Well, an hour passed and we had the situation under control. By the time we went to bed last night we could only find 2 more. As of this morning they are all dead. I just want to know what they were and where they came from. They almost looked like mosquitoes, but they were translucent. I am telling you right now, if they are mosquitoes we are moving out! OUT OUT OUT! I have saved a few because the maintenance guy was going to come get some to take to the exterminator to find out what they are and to also find out how to get rid of them and or prevent them. Needless to say, but it is already past noon and he has not come, as he probably won’t.
I have included a picture. It is slightly blurry, it was so hard to get a good up-close picture, as they are really tiny bugs. Two landed on Laura’s diaper, that was in her diaper bag (that is how bad they were), they died there. These are the “samples” for the maintenance guy. NASTY. NASTY. I am so grossed out. It is not even funny!
That was some crazy sheeyat.
