Yvonne Gaines said her bee problem started on the outside but then those pesky pests made their way in.
"There was like five or six at a time, every time," Gaines said. "They were coming through the vent and coming through the ceiling fan."Gaines said the noise was unbearable.
"They were fighting to get in from out of the wall," Gaines said.
Gaines said she started complaining almost daily to management. She said when those complaints failed to get results, she took matters into her own hands.
"We bought a fly swatter," she said. "And we started swatting."
Yvonne and her boyfriend trapped some of the bees in a bag. Gaines said management finally called in a pest control service.
After drilling a few holes in her wall and spraying, Gaines said she got even worse news.
"They told us there had to be one or two hives within the wall of our bedroom, which could have been the span of the whole bedroom wall," Gaines said.
Gaines said that was the last straw. She moved out.
Gaines said she wants the apartment complex to pay for the rent she paid during the course of the infestation.
"I don't think we were living in a safe environment," Gaines said.
Gaines said she is considering filing a lawsuit against the complex.
