No Sympathy For Termites

Always beware of the termite Wise homeowners constantly fight Incredibly destructive foe, Exterminators surely know A buyer’s most off-putting sight. Termites have no respect, you see For you or your prized property, They will devour your precious floor Then look around for something more You must show them no sympathy! Written September 25, 2022

No disrespect, for sure. But, no sympathy!

Their legs are easily caught between teeth which makes them a rather unsightly treat. Aloha!

You make a very good point, Rico. OTOH, I can't imagine eating those suckers.

I wonder how much money people have paid out to rebuild the properties they have destroyed. They are very destructive. Thanks for sharing...
