"My dog was covered up with bees. I'm looking through the window, but I couldn't just sit there and watch so I just went out there and untied her," Howard explained. "She was just covered with bees and I got out the water hose and next thing I know they were already inside the house. Over 100 bees. She died three hours later."

Howard has called his landlord; he called the city; he eve called the fire department. He says everybody turned him down.

"I didn't know who to call to so I called some news channel to try to get some help," Howard explained.

Soon afterward, Eyewitness News came over with a pest control company.



Michael Shamsi with Pest Police sprayed the bees, killing tens of thousands of them.

He says the home should be safe for now.
