EW-EW-EW is all I can say about these really icky and gross termites! This is called a termite swarm and it is bad news. These suckers came out of the hot water heater closet in search of mates. I had to call Dale's Dead Bug to come and spray. Now their shriveled corpses litter the walkway.

I was mowing the lawn once and rammed into an old stump that was just releasing swarming queens. Suddenly the air was full of them. After a minute or so I noticed a shadow moving fast across the ground - then another, and another. I looked up from my toil and saw that birds were descending upon the swarm, flying at eye level in a crisscross pattern around me. I decided to get the hell inside until the little nature drama had played out.
Yikes! You have the worst luck mowing--wasps, kittens, rainstorms. I didn't think termites were a problem in cold places though? I'm usually cool with any type of outside bug, but this was just creepy, not to mention destructive.
Eww!! That is DE-SGUSTING!!!!
By the way, isn't your husband's name Dale? (I seem to recall that?--maybe not.) Is your last name Gribble? *hee hee*
You're correct...his name is Dale. We have no shortage of fun with all the KOTH references. The best one is DAMMIT DALE! we say that a lot =)
