Termites

Termites are common in Mexico so we were not surprised to see the lines in our house.  They often come out of the light switches and move to a wood product.  In this case, they attacked our cupboards.  If they go unnoticed they can destroy your cupboards in a matter of days.

We have our house fumigated once a year, but sometimes it doesn't work 100%.  We controlled this batch of termites without calling the fumigators back, knowing full well that we need to have them here before we leave for home in April.

This particular type of termite that we find in San Carlos comes from the ground so when it is a rainy summer they move up, which often means into a house.
