Post subject: Termites - Update
Archived from groups: rec>motorcycles>dirt (more info?)

So, I found out where the nest was. Inside the wood shelf. It was
hollow and there are like, thousands of millions of little brown
termites.

I took the shelf out, poured some gasoline over it and watched them
burn. Also, I destroyed all the tunnels those creatures made all over
the garage. I hired a guy to break the floor and check if there isn't
anything under the ground... The floor had some holes (kickstand
produced) and needed some work anyhow, and the guy will break and
rebuild it for usd 20, including cement, sand and the like.

Now I have a steel shelf, but I'm buying another wood shelf for the
garage soon. This new one will be termite proof wood...


---

Also, I have prepared the bike for next week enduro. Still need to fix
the e-start button, it's sticking... The crash I had last ride, which
ended up turning the bike upside down wrecked my handlebars more than
I thought. I was thinking it just twisted the front forks, but no, the
handlebar is really bent. Time for a new one, but I'll have to wait
until my new computer is fully paid... And I rounded the head of a
screw... Someone please, take the vise pliers out of my hands...

I think you should have tried to ask them politely to leave instead of
murdering them.

I broke part of their house when I took a tool box out of the shelf.
Their house was inside my riding gear bag, which was behind the tool
box. They destroyed my bag. I gave them a week to leave. I even posted
a note here last week warning them... My bad if they don't have rmd
access... Smile

You should champion a government program to give termites internet access.
You could call it the "Leave No Termite Behind" program.

That's too dangerous, they could access google and search all the RMD
tips for getting rid of them. In no time they would start claiming
that life's unfair to them, they are socially excluded and they'll
require more and more rights.... Then the more you give to them, the
more they would want, just like RPP (really poor people).

I say burn them. They owe me a new bag.

HELL no...he did EXACTLY the right thing. Torch the little pricks and teach
them what Primate Superiority is all about. "Oops. Sorry Mr. and Mrs.
Termite. Looks like I've accidentally burnt the living piss out of you and
about 30,000 of your extended family. Sorry. My mistake. Better luck next
time."

Same thing with wasps and hornets (but honeybees and bumblebees and etc. are
OK). The worse the method of death for wasps and hornets, the better. Hate
those little PsOS. Kill 'em all. KILL 'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops, sorry...got a little carried away there. I don't care much for wasps
and hornets, if you couldn't tell.
