Operation Wasp

(Aileen)

The Smalls have a mission tonight. The mission is to ascertain the secret hide out of wasps that have been tormenting the Small household in the wee hours of the morning these past 2 days.

Mission Background
4 Sept, 05:30
Yesterday I was walking from the 2nd bedroom from where I fetched my comb and lip balm when I heard loud thumping, grunting, four letter word cursing sounds emanating from the bathroom. As it was 5:30 in the morning, and I knew that Ed was in the bathroom, I was mystified and a little worried.

5 minutes later (the bathroom is now silent) I knock on the door and request entry. Ed provides a debrief. Earlier that morning he noticed a dead wasp on the shower floor. Strange, he thought. Upon exiting the shower, he noticed a further 2 wasps enter the bathroom through the window. Then the battle ensued. He emerged victorious, but further action would be required to 1) Fortify the Small household from further attacks and 2) Locate and destroy said perpetrators.

Ed purchased some bug spray in the evening. We were thus prepared for the next onslaught.

5 Sept, 05:30
Again, I took a shower with no untoward incidence. Again, as Ed was exiting the shower, a wasp swooped into the bathroom through the window. This time I was present to witness the event. A battle ensued. Again, Ed was victorious. I believe the wasp drowned when generously doused with the bug spray.

The Mission (should we choose to accept)
Seek and identify hideout of perpetrators. If successful, this will provide key information for the bug people who Ed has solicited to “take care” of i.e. eradicate said perpetrators.

Mission details are as follows:
1. Lay a trap/bait for the perpetrators a.k.a Aileen to position herself in the bathroom and open the windows
2. At the same time, Ed to position himself in the 2nd bedroom window to ascertain hiding location from where they launch their attack
3. Aileen to close window once a wasp takes the bait. Permission to exterminate using all available means has been granted.
