I woke up this morning and realized I had a nest of Termites hiding in the background and they were starting to spread. I thought I would try and bargain with them, but all they want is to destroy my house. I then tried to reason with them and it did no good, they just want to destroy my house. I considered trying to re-educate them but I can't get them to listen to me or even consider such a thing. I tried to compromise with them by giving them fresh wood shavings to eat instead of my house, but that didn't work either. They still demand to destroy my house.
Ant spray works on both.
Where they mostly peaceful as they ate your house? If so nothing you can do about it.
Bomb them.
Chlordane!
Sounds about right
Well, termites are now a protected species in many states and you will face life imprisonment if you are caught even discussing their demise (conspiracy to harm a protected species); in addition according to unbiased sources such as PBS, termites are an important part of the ecosystem that offer more benefit to your home than harm. There are many “green” corporations who are investing in the expansion of termites, helping to increase their population and expand their territory to locations they have been discriminated against in the past. Given all of this, yes you should exterminate all of them, even if it means burning down the whole neighborhood.
Then add Sentracon baits stations around the property for subterranean termites.
Formosan?
Big bucks for tenting your home.
#29. Thanks for the list of Insecticides but what do you use on Democmites?
No
*Check local laws.
What is this “nest in the background”?
import fire ants, they don’t go in your house and termites are their favorite food. leave them alone after that.
I think I have a gallon in the shed!
Just cause I can.
I bet they already have a HR department...
Let them destroy the house - if they burn it, they may kill themselves off too....or have to move on to another house.
White people treat termites like they dont exist.
Just ask the Queen termite.
Hire a geriatric termite expert. It is important to maintain and increase the reproduction rate of termites. A good termite team will have the expertise to provide the trace nutrients and other resources necessary to expand your existing termite colony.
It’s quite likely that your termites are localized in one or two colonies, and not spread throughout the house. An experienced geriatric termite expert will have the expertise to establish new colonies of termites such that your entire house will collapse as desired.
Excellent idea. Capture a large next of Fire Ants and release them in a crowd of protestors. Stand back and watch the fun.
