ugh!!!
yes, termites have invaded my house.
When we bought our house 8 years ago, it was fumigated and insect free.
A few years ago, I did notice some termite evidence on our large window in the living room. My husband called the termite company and since it was still under guarantee, they came and took care of the problem.
Then again after the guarantee had expired, we started noticing in the same area some termite evidence again. It was only dust . We'd clean it up and that was it.
For the past few days, there has been a lot of termites coming out of that area. We see the termites crawling on the floor and also when we move the curtain, all the termite wings are falling down. It has never been that bad.
Well my husband called Terminex and they came to inspect the house and they of course found termites on that window and nowhere else that they can see.
We got a 2nd opinion from another person and he was a bit cheaper.
We were NOT planning on doing this any time soon, but by the looks of it, those damn termites are getting really fat chewing up my house!
So.. I guess we have no choice but to vacate our home for 2 and a half days.
They recommend a home be fumigated every 10 years. Since that time is coming up and these creatures may be flying elsewhere and start chewing up another area, we have no choice but to fumigate the entire house.
Not sure when this will be done, but it will be done asap.
The only thing we are really worried about is Adam.
He is now crawling and everything he picks up, goes into his mouth. So what they recommend after they fumigate is for us to wash everything like plates, pots and anything that Adam can get his little hands on. Hello.. he gets his little hand EVERYWHERE!! He even puts his mouth on furniture and sucks on it!!
So we will have some major cleaning to do after the fumigation is done. NOT FUN.
As for his crib. They say babies mattresses are different so they do suggest we take it out. Actually , it's better if we take out the entire crib.
So after my God-daugther's 15ñera next week, this will be our next project. sigh....
