I am feeling very uneasy about the whole "termite cruelty" that unlines this thread.. have you thought about boyancy aids for the creatures that will now have to endure their home being set-sail into the sea... ?? I may have to consider phoning the coast guard if you continue with your threatened plans..

Will the next thread be named "termites 3 - the final massacre" ?

[Please don't eat them,they wreak havoc.
I lost both my legs in an accident many years ago whilst competing in a long-distance marathon for charity.
Being an old fashioned kind of guy I didn't like the high tech prosthetic s on offer and opted for a pair of wooden one's.
The kid's loved them. I used to tell them I was a pirate and had lost them fencing with Captain Feather Sword.
A few month's ago . I jumped out of bed ( I sleep with them on) and started doing my morning exercise routine which involves the usual push ups and the like but when I got to the star jumps I fell through the floor courtesy of a termite infestation in the boards.
When I hit the ground floor my peg legs disintegrated,seems they'd eaten through them as well.
I don't know when they managed that as I'm pretty active and don't stand around much.
Had the pest control people out and the house had to be pulled down.I was insured but the insurance company wouldn't pay up.
They said I didn't have a leg to stand on.
I'm thinking of going to VCAT with it.
