I purchased a dilapidated and run down building for my A/C business.
I looked all over the city for months and months to find the right building. Most of the real estate was severely expensive. I had to wait for the right home to come to me. I met with a realtor every other week and we viewed commercial properties. Then a couple of weeks ago, we found the building that I decided to purchase, but even though it was dilapidated and run down, it was actually cheap. I knew that I could spend a few thousand dollars to get everything repaired. One thing that I did not count on meeting was an exterminator. A lot of old buildings have problems with rats, but this building had a problem with wasps and hornet nests. The buzzing inside of the duct toil in the commercial building was loud. I called an exterminator to look for problems with insects or rodents. There were no rats at all in the building, but the wasps and hornet nests were a really different story. It took two mornings for the exterminator to remove all of the bees. I guess the guy took the hives and nests to a local farm, but he may have disposed of them too. I do not know if it is illegal to dispose of wasps and hornets, even though I know honey bees have to be relocated due to the fact that they are dwindling in numbers everyday. If the honey bees disappear, we won’t be able to consistently pollinate any of our crops, fruits, or vegetables.
