Dallas Cowboys<\/a> head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s home is slowly turning into Noah’s Ark after the family’s latest run-in with wildlife.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The family, who have already suffered an owl visitation <\/a>and a snake invasion recently, saw their home overtaken by hundreds of wasps over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer’s wife, Gemmi, shared a video to Instagram that showed countless insects laying on a windowsill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Can’t make it up… Snakes + an owl + wasps,’ she wrote, adding a weary face emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clip then panned to the ceiling where yet more of the bugs were swarming around as Gemmi played ‘The Twilight Zone’ theme tune over the top.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She later shared that Little Giant Beekeepers, a local Dallas pest removal service, had come to the rescue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She revealed that the exterminator managed to kill ‘at least 100 with his bare hands,’ sharing a photo of the man proudly displaying the dead insects in his palm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The infestation marked the third time that the family has been plagued by an animal invasion within a matter of months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Halloween,\u00a0Gemmi returned home after receiving a message from her son, Sutton, which read: ‘I’m freaking out. A literal hawk size bird just flew into the house… IDK [I don’t know] what to do.’<\/p>\n

When she made it back, an owl was sitting in the front window. The family then documented their attempts to force it out of their home.<\/p>\n

At one point, the owl found itself on a ledge near the ceiling, while a dog barked and a family friend flicked a towel in the bird’s direction.<\/p>\n

The owl soon took flight across the living room, leaving the family screaming and cowering. A huge thud followed and Gemmi said: ‘Oh shoot, he keeps flying into the window!’<\/p>\n

The family eventually called animal control and were saved ‘Sergeant Kyle,’ who trapped the owl in a net and dragged it outside. The ordeal ended after the owl flew into the night sky.<\/p>\n

That incident came just weeks after\u00a0two of Schottenheimer’s dogs were bit by snakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I don’t know if the owl was looking for the snakes or what was going on,’ Schottenheimer said, following the owl visitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
