more bugs

the hot spell has brought more little beasts to our abode. last night joe called me all excitedly to show me how many insects there were outside. usually we only attract the odd 70-80 moths & mozzies, but these were like little flying ants (we later found out were a swarm of termites). and they somehow were crawling under the closed sliding doors of the bridge and into the house in their hundreds.

we normally do the humane thing with insects indoors, trap them under a glass and let them go outside. but there were so many we went on a squishing mission and sprayed aeroguard on the floor where they were coming in.

1:00am - Joe wakes me up to tell me there are termites all over the floor and in his bed. I carry on sleeping

Next morning I spend half an hour before work sweeping up the corpses of the termites in the bedrooms and hallway. Outside they've all gone, apart from all of their wings have fallen off and the courtyard looks like its covered in confetti
