Hey! That's an idea!!! I've heard of flea circuses ... why not termites? I could go into show business! - Ken

If you could train them you'd make a fortune... :)

No, man! That thing started out as just a solid plywood fence. They even painted it white!!! - Ken :-)

Did it start as a picket fence or did the termites do that for you? :)

Ken I'm in the same situatition, I have a similar shadow box style of fence around my patio and the skeeters, wasps and biting flies don't seem to have much trouble navigating through the barrier. Faulty design maybe! Paul

Thanks, guys ... appreciate the comments.

Traveller: We also put that picket fence up to keep the termites and mosquitoes out, but it's not working very well ... Don't know how they are managing to get around it (grin)!

I think I like this version better.

I enjoyed the first example of this last challenge and I like version II just as well. Paul.

You put that light out there just to attract them, didn't you?...;>}}}}

I also note that it is far from the house.

Nicely done!
