Termites must be atheists. The Bible says we should use our mouths to build up not tear down.

  Well they certainly are enemies but could not bring myself to adhere to the Biblical admonishment to love them.

  Absurdly corny is indeed an art form I have mastered. Snap, crackle, poop. Oooops that’s RICE Krispies.

🙂 The first house I bought had Termites…so the guy with the poisonous spray had to be called and called again for the last house I’ll buy which has/had Carpenter Ants. I didn’t have a clue about Carpenter Ants and their destructive nature…over the years I’d learned about things like Powder Post Beetles and Woodworms…but it took the men painting my house to educate me about the destructiveness of Carpenter Ants. With so many insects attacking the wood in a house it’s a wonder houses manage to stand at all…got a chuckle out of your cartoon though, Termites and Carpenter Ants at war…I wonder if that actually happens! 😀 😀 😀

  One thing about carpenter ants in south Florida is that we have so many little lizards that love to eat them and since there is an abundance of carpenter ant food the lizard population multiplies and that equals more ant control. They completely cleaned up a huge black olive tree in my back patio and it was flourishing when I left Miami. Some of the roaches there, however are the size of elephants.

    That could explain why I have so many lizards in the back yard…however my C. Ants were high wire artists…coming in on the cable wire from the electric pole. I’ve never seen any lizards up there so the only chance the lizards had was when the C. Ants reached the house and came inside. Thankfully, I’m knocking on wood, I’ve not had the hugh roaches (yet) 🙂

    Hmmm. Well be thankful you have a bit of remaining wood upon which to knock.

I wonder if they are “union carpenter” ants.. And they consider those termites to be scabs.

  Well with bees and ants and such there is the queen, some soldiers and the rest workers so probably union but the termites are the agents of Satan. It took me years to finish the chess set I carved out of walnut and cherry and if the termites attack I’ll destroy them all.

    Aren’t we all just pawns, after all. Although you’re sounding a good bit like a “knight” with all of that talk of a Holy Crusade against the invading army.

Unfortunately, carpenter ants are also destructive. You would think they could live up to their name, wouldn’t you?

  They eat house not buffet. I suppose the whole neighborhood would be buffet though.
