Termites are unfortunately - as we discovered - a fact of life in SoCal, although we never had an issue with them UNTIL our buyer had her house inspection… seemed we had some of the swarming critters in our roof space! Luckily our realtor had a local termite pest control company in her Rolodex who did the deed as painlessly (and reasonably- for California - as possible). We advised our neighbo(u)rs with pets that we were being tented, they in turn promised to keep an eye on the property less some no-do-well tried to break-in… the biggest pain was waiting for Sepura (“the gas company”) to reconnect our gas supply.
I feel for you, Steve, we had all those added attractions too - the burglar watch, the endless wait for the gas to be re-connected ... and let's not start on the trying to explain ourselves to the cat after we brought her home ...
I had a horrible anxiety attack while reading about the termite tenting of your house as I fear we are near having to do it again. Thanks for the reminder.
So much for the brightly colored circus tent! Termites are pretty athletic.
Cousin? How lovely! There are so darned memory of us and I have a strong idea but don't want to hazard a guess here as you're only using initials and I want to respect your privacy. Would you message me or send me an email? Glad you're enjoying the posts anyway and let's talk privately ...
Well done for the tackle
And the reminder that I need to sort my fridge out again v soon
Ax
Hope it's an easier task than mine was, Angela!
Done now
Smells much better x
You always manage to make the awful things of everyday living into an absolutely charming story!
I'm not sure that Mr. Los Angeles found me charming throughout, Barbara, but thanks for the kind comment!
Friend? Cousin more like. Glad we don't have these critters here. Love your postings. X
Is that you Sheila x

Sounds awful. Glad you're out the other side of that!
Thanks, friend, it wasn't our favorite experience of all, but as they say, into each life some termite-killer must fall ...
Horrendous!!!! What a horrible, anxiety-provoking experience. Glad you are out the other side… x
Thanks, Aggie. As you say, we're glad it's over - and, at least for now, we have a sparkling refrigerator of which even you would approve!

Oh, so sorry for that, Karen, you have all my sympathy. Do you think the termites form themselves into trapeze acts while we're not looking?
