A Genuine Stunner, or, Termites In My Kitchen

2009-10-04 1 min read

You have probably been following my peregrinations, my undefeated streak of golf matches on three continents, my Rakish Tour of Oregon, and so on and so forth. I have recently been at Hong Kong and Japan, enjoying the wonderful autumn weather, spending some time with Mickey, and studying foreign languages. And you may even recall that I keep a number of geckos, carefully ensconced at my house in Sam Khok, to control any insects that may brave the doorstep. Or so I thought, until my startling discovery last week. See my geckos here:

You might then imagine my surprise at arriving home from Tokyo last week to find this veritable train of termites crossing my kitchen wall.

  Apparently I cannot rely on my geckos to eat the termites.This is a shocking development and a real disappointment. I have now contracted with a pest control company to apply insecticides throughout my house.&#160; The termites are fascinating but the owner of this house wishes them gone.
