"This is a gas meter. It has nothing to do with our story at this point, so please do not confuse it with the type of gas the termites have.

"PG&E had to be disconnected from our house before the tenting could begin; so don't forget how important a role it played in this adventure prior to your knowing anything about it."

"This isn't the gas, either. This is Tear Gas. Doug put it in the house to make the King & Queen Termites cry for their people because royalty never cares what happens to the Workers, Soldiers, or Commoners.

"It also helps to keep curious people from nosing around during fumigation. Talk about stupid behavior."

Gas Attack: a static re-enactment.

John readies the scales and gas cylinder while Doug double-checks all the numbers to know how much gas to use. Opice warns about over inflation during hard economic times.

This should be the weight of the cylinder and its gas to start, except...

...Opice has his thumb on the scale -- and hand, arm, shoulders, head, body, legs, and tail.

"My tail's one of my funest parts," be brags.

John remains vigilant should the Vikane© Gas need technical adjusting.

"Can I hit it once, too?" Opice begs.

ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF VIKANE IS RIGHT FOR YOUR TERMITES.

The amount of gas used is, HOW MUCH?!

Everyone stands back when John fulfills the legal requirements to execute the Termites.

"Fire in the hole!" he yells and passes gas.

NOTE: a long sleeve shirt is required uniform.

The fumigation team explained it to Monkey (multiple times) and in terms he could understand (small words of no more than 4 letters). Finally, Doug convinced Opice, "It is magic."

"'Magic' has 5 letters, but now I get it," Opice nodded.

For the rest of us, once John correctly weighed the cylinder, he "zeroed-out" the scale. As the gas left the tank, the tank weighed less and less. Thus -23.2 is positively how much gas went into the house--honest!

The end of a hard day.

Monkey kicks back on his webmaster's car and appraises his job well done. For the next 24 hours there's nothing to do. This time tomorrow the tent comes off followed by another 24 hours of doing nothing as the house airs out.

Opice reflects on many of the lessons he's learned thus far:

1. Don't get bugs in your house without a warrant.

2. If you want a paisley tent, be sure it's written down in the contract.

3. Being first on the block is not always best. Who knew?

4. Part 4 had better be more fun than the first 3 parts.

5. "I hope people read Part 4 soon so I can go home."
