You know what really bugs me? Bugs. Not just any bugs, mind you. Termites in particular. It seems like every other little critter in the world can live with humans in perfect harmony, sharing our world and generally being best of pals. Did you know, even wasps have their uses? They do the same things as bees, ask your mother. It’s true.
But termites…I just can’t stomach them. What good do they do? How do they help us live our lives? They don’t, short answer. They are little creatures of misery and destruction. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to erasing them from civilisation and history forever! My cunning plan is to roam Melbourne, Sunshine to Frankston, pest control agents near and far to hear my call. The thing about termites right now is that they do their damage, we get all up in arms over the one specific incident and then we just go back to our lives knowing that there are still gajillions of the little devils out there. How can we sleep at night, knowing that they’re hiding away in their damp piles of wood, plotting and scheming? Plotting and scheming with their little termite brains and nefarious chompers they use to tear through everything we hold dear. It’s shameful that they’re allowed to run rampant through our gardens, set up shop in our homes and we do nothing.
I need to organise a tactical strike. It’s our best hope for survival against these odds, and people are starting to realise. Every termite control agent working as one, not to react, but take proactive action. We will take the fight to them! Already, people are flocking to my cause. Well, some people. A few. I’ve got one company on board. A bit of a company. A few dedicated people within the company. A guy with some great connections. That is, a guy who knows a guy whose uncle does termite control in Dandenong. There’s no better place to start, right?
