the power of termites

My office. Although is more than 30 years of age, but it's still a nice peaceful place, next to the sea and have a good city view.

Except that it does suffer from flood last time (i heard) during high tides period;

and now, termites. (maybe the humidity)

In this recent wave of attacks, wasted items are a new cabinet, a paper cutting board, and a game board. And not forgetting the time when they started to spray pesticide desperately, causing everyone having to move outside 'cos we really cant breathe inside..


Here are the 3 items:

The "hole" was all done by them.

and take a look at the amount of "dust"...

the cutting board:

Take note, the entire interior was empty. Had been all eaten up.

The drawer...

which was from this new cabinet.

now just sitting there to collect dust.

Even the thick door wasnt spared too:


Scary huh? Moral of story... must know how to keep our home pest free...

Luckily we are all changing to new furnitures when we are shifting to the new office in 3 months time... If we have to shift them and bring the pest over too.... argh. Cant imagine.
