Do you know?

So I am headed into finals and spent 8 hrs yesterday writing/editing a 20 page paper! Boo!!! Anyway, I promised someone I would post so here it is! I will try to post something else tomorrow too so check back!

So back in October I was in the kitchen at my apartment, minding my own business, when I noticed a pile of brown "dust". I honestly thought my roommate had spilled spices or seasoning on the floor. So I wiped it up and continued with my life.



The next day, the pile was back. As soon as I saw it I got this uneasy feeling of you are not alone, as in... there something making this pile that is unwanted. I went and hid in my bedroom until Carin got home and proceeded to frantically tell her about and show her the pile. She looked at it and calmly said "Oh, looks like termites."

My first thoughts:
Termites? Termites? What?
I am from UTAH, I don't think we have those there.
Houses covered in white tents while they are fumigated.
Being homeless for weeks, etc.
All things dramatic basically.

(I'll leave out the part where someone convinced me it was a mouse not termites, then I really freaked out!)

Fortunately my landlord had the same reaction as Carin and scheduled an exterminator to come. But we were supposed to sign these papers that said we can't be there for 2 hrs after they spray and the chemicals can do who knows what to us if we are.

Well we didn't sign the paper and Carin probably came back 15 min after they sprayed because we don't know when they came. (we are watching her for signs of illness and hoping she doesn't develop cancer)

The termites were not gone after 1 spraying and they came and sprayed again, I hoping this really solves our problem!
