Rock And Roll Insects
What will termites do if you play rock music to them? The surprising answer: They double the pace at which they chew through wood! But there's a better way than that to tell termites from flying ants. First, ants have pinched waists, but termites have abdomens that are joined to their bodies without stems. A second distinguishing characteristic is that flying ants have two sets of wings of different sizes. Termites' wings are all about the same size. A third way to tell ants from termites is that ants' antennae have an "elbow" in the middle, while the termites have almost straight antennae. And yet another way to be sure which is which: since only the king and queen termites have wings, look around to see if there are any worker termites in the same area. Workers are light-colored, and they don't look anything like ants. Don't mess with termites! They will do severe damage before you are even aware of it! It doesn't take long, and one day your window sill? You know, the wide one where you put your speakers so you can blast out some righteous Van Halen? One day it crumbles, and takes out a quarter of your wall! If you think you have a termite problem, consult with a good exterminator. Then talk with another one to get a second opinion. Don't settle for a single quote! Although most exterminator's know their business, a lot of them don't, and you just don't want to take chances with your most valuable asset, your house. That's it. I have to bug out of here. Unless of course you want some MORE HOT TIPS! Keep On Rockin! - April May
