END OF DAYS? MORE PESTILENCE
Another damned termite swarming here in the Velocihovel. This one in the guest bedroom. Bastards ate right through the sheetrock. Of course this was discovered at 5:00 the day before Thanksgiving, so there's nothing for it but to tape up the hole and nuke 'em with Raid until Friday morning.
The pisser is, when I had my first swarming 18 months ago I shelled out 1200 bucks for Sentricon and another $400 to have the stucco cut away from the bottom of the house. Now it happens again.
That's the problem with Florida. The whole damned state is one huge, pustulent, quivering, queasy termite bed. It's never a question of If, or even When. It's a question of How Often? Better to catch it at a swarming than when your frigging wall collapses, though. And hey! Massey will fix it for free, and my termite bond's still intact.
Didn't anyone warn you about stucco?
