urgent help needed for exposed interior brick walls.

By on February 27th, 2010

I have 2 exposed interior brick walls. One in the kitchen and one upstairs. One day last December I looked at a bizarre kitchen wall. Many holes appeared and a lot of mortar was gone. Since I live in this house over 30 years I know every corner, every brick, etc. I was not hallucinating.The same happened to the wall upstairs. My first reaction was to call an exterminator. I also want to mention that I changed my heating system from oil to hot water electricity. I noticed approx. 4-5 ms later that I had a tremendous amount of dust all over the house. After two treatments from an exterminator, who insisted I had mice, the situation took a turn for worse. Suddenly I found in my bedroom closet 2 sweaters where the name tag was eaten up, a hole in the sweater was left behind and I found a wet spot in the material. The other sweater just had a wet spot. I called 2 other exterminator companies who insisted I have mice. The company put on different locations glue sheets and mice traps throughout the house. I became pretty upset and restless because up to now we never found a mouse. Yes droppings were found and many holes in the walls. And everywhere you can find small paper look-a-like tiny pieces. They appear like small “twists” made out from paper or silicone. They push themselves through the gaps of the parquette floor. After 2-3 seconds they open up, they fall flat and they look like paper. Most of my furniture and picture frames (they’re mostly in brown tone) have tiny holes and scratches on, and what actually makes me frustrated is their severe discoloration.
With many thanks. Regards, Ruth Weimar rweimar@sympatico.ca
