TERMITES! Part 1: Prepping Conventions "Out, out darn stuff!" |
"I
have to take out everything?" Monkey asked the helpful Termite Terminator.
"Everything you put in or on your body that's not still in a factory sealed can or jar. That includes food, medications, toothpaste, vitamins, lotions, and everything else, except for silverware and like that." "Even if I know I'm not supposed to put it in my mouth?" It was the first time anyone ever asked the Exterminator that, but he'd sized Opice up as no average customer, "Yes, especially in your case. As well as any plants, animals, pets, or children." This last advice worried Monkey. Martin Yan gave him a Pet Wok a long time ago, and he wasn't sure if he could find where he put it. The Fumigator gave Opice a packet of info, "This includes a check-list to help you." Monkey felt better. He likes everything Czech, of course." |

Then he began boxing-up all the food, spices, and cooking condiments in the kitchen. He took the boxes out to the garage. Fortunately, he has a refrigerator out there, because he had to empty the house's frig and freezer, too. Then he had to tackle the pantry. Suddenly he realized the MAGNITUDE of the job ahead of him. "Oh my gawd," he whined. "And I haven't even started on the bathrooms. This is a lot more work than I thought. |

But
it wasn't just inside plants that had to be made ready for the BigTop. Greenery
had to be pulled away from the house so the tent could be anchored to the
ground to form a seal. To make the seal tight, Opice had to water, water,
water the ground around the house for 2 days. The water also protected the
roots in the dirt from the gas which would kill them. The harder Monkey worked to get ready, the angrier he became at the termite Queen. "Next election I'm voting with the anti-royalists!" |
where
preparations for the convention under the big tent really get going, even as the termites refuse to go and dig in their heels (6 each). |
