Termites

Hey guys, I just want to share this with you all. This morning when I woke up, my parents were cleaning up their room, actually it was only my mum, my dad was getting ready to go to work. As my mum was clearing up, she opened the top cupboard and behold, there were termites within the books. My mum wasn't the type that would scream and all, however, after seeing the termites, she did admit that she has goosebumps. It was really a huge army.

If you think one cupboard is affected, you are wrong, the termites had two nests in two of our top cupboards, not only that, the second cupboard was the worst hit. At the side of the cupboard, the termites were building a nest within some books as shown in the figure below.

The books were so hard to take out because of the nest. My dad was requested to stay at home to sort out the paperworks that he had kept all these years because my mum wouldn't want to throw away his "important" old documents. These were some of his books. Like I said earlier, this is the sight that gave my mum goosebumps. I told the liberty to help her push out the books. And what I saw after that would made girls scream I think. There were millions and millions of termites. They were crawling everywhere. I must admit that this is my first time I am encountering this. Below is how it looks when all the books were taken out. Although you can't really see the termites running around, they were like everywhere.

After all the books were taken care of, I then proceed to spray Becky's favourite weapon, the insect repellent. Right now, even as I am writing this, the cupboards are all empty and cleaned up. Kudos to my mum for doing what my dad wouldn't even think of doing. Haha...
