‘Million-strong’ swarm of insects drives couple out of their Uthai Thani home

By The Nation

 

 

An Uthai Thani house is under attack by a swarm of “stinking” insects after a heavy downpour in the province last night (May 10).

 

 

Most of the insects are local beetles, which have now taken over the house, attaching themselves to the floor, walls and ceiling.

 

Hapless house owner Jetsada Phaibong, 39, and his wife said they tried to frantically sweep the countless insects away but have become too tired to continue.

 

 

They believe the insects might number close to a million. The couple also resorted to using insecticide, but to no avail – the tough little insects are still very much alive.

 

To add to the couple’s misery, the beetles are letting off an unpleasant odour and creeping all over the place, and have forced the owners to sleep outside their house.

 

 

The couple have asked local officials to promptly get rid of the insects so that they can reclaim their home.

so they go to the authorities to tell them to come and get rid of the bugs ...

hmm ... I hope they can do something 

[owl sees all]

Go to the nearest neem (sadow) tree. Get a couple of buckets of leaves and throw them onto the bugs.

I wonder why the insects only come to this house and other house owners in the neighborhood have no problem.

When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

We used to get them in the jungle in Indonesia, Stinkbugs they called them, sometimes half an inch deep around lightbulbs but completely harmless ????

Those first two pictures show that these insects have no interest in social distancing.

They deserve to be exterminated.

Beetles? I thought that was breakfast?

I'm sure the Old Testament never mentioned bars or motorcycles but the rest I recognise.

That is exactly how Chinese army looked like when they attacked US army in N Korea in 1952.
