Termite Alert!

[PeteC]

Last night I came outside at about 2100 and they were swarming around the outside lights. Not flying ants, termites, as I caught and examined some before the chingchokes ate them.

This is really early, as usually doesn't happen until April or May as the rains approach. I've never seen them this early.

Could be a sign of an early monsoon season.

Let us know if anyone sees the same over there. Pete

I hope it’s not an early monsoon Pete, I’m coming out next month and I wasn’t planning on rain that soon!

Strange prcscct, I always thought that that happened shortly after a good rain shower.

Has it been raining where you are recently? If not, then I'm a little , maybe that's just the ants.

That's also a bad sign if you have a wooden house.

No showers but humid and overcast during the days and dew all over everything in the mornings. Perhaps that what kicked them off. I'm next to about 50 acres of jungle and brush and they're coming from over there.

I keep my fingers crossed for you Steve. I don't want to see rain this early either. Thunderboomers at Songkran is early enough. Pete
