Termites!

Now that we have Margot, our rat problem has gotten much better.  She has also taken care of almost all of the cockroaches taking up space around the house and the lizards that like to hang out in the bathroom.  If only she could attack the termites, we’d be set!

At the very start of our time in Pleebo, we took down quite a few termite hills, but I thought that once we were eight months in, we’d be done with it.  Yeah right.  Every week, or so it seems, we have been taking down termite mounds around the house.  Some are small and easy to pick up; others are much bigger and take a bit of time.

This was found on the corner of the door to our bathroom.  It showed up over the course of eight hours!

It’s always fun to wake up in the morning and go into the kitchen, only to find lizards feasting on the giant termite hill that has been built into the corner of the walls.  Granted, now that Margot is here, the lizards don’t snack on these termites anymore.  :)  They still build all over the house, though, and it’s one of the small things that I absolutely despise waking up to.
