As a species, only cows fart more than termites. Estimates suggest termite gas is responsible for about 5% of global methane emissions.

I met the in the attic. He was ugly but like Leonard said, he had the music. I wasn’t afraid, not being comprised of wood. He was not interested, not being into commingling. We agreed for the winter. I offered him my chair. He philosophized. It was not a forever.

Dad, a Lorax, hates my job. "My son, the ," he jeers. "Tree killer."
But logging pays the bills and feeds me too.
Leaves rustle as another trunk thuds to the forest floor; my stomach growls. Dinner at the pulp mill is hours away. A snack to tide me over? Timber.

the rain it raineth on the just
but not beneath that big umbrella
where billionaires are wont to meet
the comfort of their safe retreats
on distant islands to discuss
their plans to leave the rest of us
in termite towns with flooded cellars
now plain; and frankly ominous

the termite eating all
within each outer skin
leaves only hollow
space within

like grandma
in her rocking chair
her smiles

disguise the sorrow

Lately, the dwarves most deadly weapon has been the bomb. Deployed by clockwork fruit bats, they detonate among upper reaches of the canopy under silent moonlight: it might be weeks before elves notice that ancient forest giants are being consumed from within.

Leaving Australia after a conference and I was delighted to find Four termite genera, even without having to look for them. Nasutitermes nests were the most obvious, then Coptotermes mounds, Microcerotermes nest and finally, flip a log and you can find Schedorhinotermes.

Coptotermes damage in a tree. One of the few termite genera that can do this to live healthy trees.

We stand in awe of this incredible feat
For termites can create a building so neat
Let us replicate their tunnels of underground
And construct a living, breathing building all around

THIS is new! This is the first time that I unwrap a sealed , only to find out it has been attacked by a .

The bugger went for the paper on the inlay, but also left behind some "dirt" on the disc surface. Sadly, this seems to have damaged that part of the disc, as my dumping attempts are giving me read errors. Oh, well...

we do have to either retreat the house or else start a different system. The new system recommended by the company is called '' is the active ingredient and uses buried 'traps' instead of chemicals in the walls.

Any experts out there have recommendations? We want to not have our house eaten but do minimal harm.

Termites are so damn cool. Really want to see this is in plastic. With the launcher vehicle of course!
