She said her homeowner's insurance won't cover anything pest-related because they deem it preventable.
What’s the point of insurance if whenever you need to use it, they deny you it. Might as well take your monthly insurance payment and put it into a bank account to use if needed.
There seems to be a misunderstanding. You see a insurance is only for the safe feeling before something happens
Insurance is required by your mortgage company.
If you try to use it, the insurance will try to fuck you.
Outside the US it's uncommon to require insurance on the property.
Well, duh. It isn't there to protect you. It's there to protect the mortgage company.
I used to live in an apartment complex where someone got wasted, took the main road corner too fast, plowed down 3 10ft tall pines, plowed over the complex signage, and into the living room of one of the apartments. The brick facade was coming down in chunks all along the building.
My family was on chit-chat-about-your-life terms with the property manager, and apparently their insurance company was refusing to do anything because, you guessed it.... "preventable"
Now, how could this have been prevented you ask? Well I'll let you know when they find out because replanting thicker trees, and putting a guard rail didn't help since literally a month later someone was street racing and spun out on the same corner. Didn't hit the apartments, but took out the semi-reconstructed sign and the cars in front of the apartment.
If I had to guess, I'd say the car insurances refused to pay also. Idk, didn't know the families that lived across the road.
Rats and roaches I understand. Bees do t come because you did something wrong.
You can’t sleep now. There are monsters nearby.
The Guardian counted 50000 only. Any higher bids?

Before it was over, Collings removed 55,000 - 65,000 bees from the wall of the home. Collins said it would have taken the bees about eight months to build the hive, according to The Guardian.
Funny, they quote the guardian, which only states "50000 bees or more".
55,000 to 65,000 feral bees
Quick, somebody call Dr. Bees!

the headline reads like it came from The Onion
For reference, a mature colony of honey bees usually numbers around 40,000. That's 1.5 colonies of bees.
I had to deal with this but with wasps, ended up doing something similar to the "the wasp factory"
Is 60000 bees a lot? Also, how does one estimate the amount of bees?
In the summer, those stacks of wooden boxes beekeepers use can contain around 60k bees. It's a quite normal amount of bees in a bee hive. When it gets colder and the season ends it goes down to maybe 20k bees. At least that's what a bee keeper told me once. We were looking at returning bees who were not let in by the guard bees because they were not needed anymore.
I'M GOING TO RELEASE THE BEES!

So she was wrong. I knew it
They didn't want to deal with the bees.
