TERMITES!

I guess it was inevitable.

We live in Florida and it's been raining every day for the past 2 weeks and all that wet wood on the new shed smelled too good to pass up. Termites are attacking it. I opened the door yesterday and you could see them crawling everywhere! IIIICK!

So we have the pest company coming Thursday to give us an estimate. It's a good thing I already had an appt with them... I had them coming to spray for the usual household annoyance - roach, ant, fly, water bug, etc. - but now they are also going to take a look at the shed and tell us what they think.

When we bought the house in August we had a clean WDO. And that new wooden shed wasn't built until March of this year. So they couldn't have been here long. We didn't see any termites until about 2 weeks ago. I think it's because of all the rain. My poor shed! Being eaten alive!
