Pitching a Tent (Part One)

One of the properties recently had to be tenting for termites yadda yadda yadda (common in FL) this is where it get’s interesting. I have four residents that rose above the rest and were shining stars.. meet the first two.

1) Mr. VHS: Stopped me in the parking lot to express how upset he was that we were tenting the building, and asked if we could just “skip” his unit. The reason? He was concerned about the “Valuables” I use that term loosely in his unit and requested that I come inside so he could show me why he was so worried. Since he made it such a big deal I was expecting a huge plasma TV, expensive electronics or massive stereo system. but no... It was so much better that I could have imagined... It was... a wall (literally) of VHS tapes.) He was looked at me and said “Now can you see why I am so worried about a pest control company coming in here? Look at all of my one of a kind VHS tapes. You can’t by these anymore!” I giggled then realized he was serious. I assured him not to worry.

2) Spider Girl: Bumped into me a couple days before the tenting, and had a couple of questions. She first wanted to know if she really really had to be out while the tent was on the building. Next she wanted to know if it would kill bugs? Why you ask? I asked the same thing and this is what she told me. “Since I moved into this unit there has been this cute little spider in my bathroom, that made a cute little tiny web and I don’t want him to die” I looked at her and said “ugh... yes I’m sorry it will kill bugs that’s kinda the whole point” she looked confused so I suggested she go to PETCO and purchase a little insect tank so that she could keep him or her.
