We have sunlight for two days recently when we celebrated swiftly the bright sunny days by doing our farm drills outdoors.
My wife requested me to spray herbicide around the farm to prevent the growth of various weeds. In the process, I accidentally hit with the sprayer tip a wood overhanging on a concrete post. The wood fell down on the ground. When I went to get the wood I saw it had crushed battalion of tiny termites. They were terrible, coming from the damp soil up to the house in long lines. From their size I knew they were trouble.
The termites are tiny about the size of a rice seed and essentially eat wood. Termites avoid light by building shelter tubes along outdoor concrete, pipes or wood; anything that will take them from their nests in damp soil to various entry points of the house. They are persistent in reaching the wood of homes. And ignoring the proliferation of termites will definitely cause costly damage.
After spraying & consuming the herbicide in several areas of geannhomegarden, I collect a can of aerosol insecticide from home. I use the aerosol to spray on the colonies of the termites in the soil, holes, concrete and woods. The horrible looking termites fell lifeless in cluster, some running away but slowly becoming extinct.
Hopefully, this would temporarily solve the termite invasion in the area. My wife was excited receiving my report & some photos of the farm drills. As her gesture of appreciation, she handed to me instantly a glass of ice cold Guyabano shake and a wobbly hug! (Romans 12:10 “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love in honour preferring one another”).
