Country living: The Hay Loft sits on and next to 200 acres of hay and corn fields, and woods and trees. There are insects and animals in the country. You will occasionally see flies, lady bugs, stink bugs, mosquitoes, ants, etc outdoors, be mindful of open doors as some insects can get inside if doors and windows are left open by guests. We clean with bleach and sanitize thoroughly after each guest but you may on occasion see an insect inside (stink bugs usually) which is beyond our control. They are more prevalent in the spring (March and April). We provide a hand vac so you can suck it up in the vacuum for us to dispose the dead insect later. The home is spray foam insulated and an insect treatment sprayed around the exterior of the home on a monthly basis. When it warms up, the stink bugs and lady bugs occasionally tend to congregate on the warm door/windows. These are small nuisances to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and valley (we also get them in our own home). We cannot control nature and do not provide refunds for acts of nature beyond our control to include a few stink bugs that may get inside the home. We have windows that attract stinkbugs ladybugs, so if you have a ladybug or stinkbug phobia this probably isn’t the place for you. This is only problem normally in the Spring. We have a pest control service to handle the problem and they use people and pet safe products. However, we never completely win the battle with nature so there may be some around.
