Who could have guessed termites liked onions?

Well, like the title suggests, I couldn't have done... This was taken a few days ago in Ghana, where I put these out to dry. Two days later, surprise! The Rocky Farm termites have a bit of a reputatiojn though now, as they have been known to eat tarpaulins, and drink Dursban (Chlorpyrifos(which i know was naughty to use, but it was the only solution i could think of to save a load of coconuts, but didn't work anyway so serves me right...))...can't find Bromide here which I have heard is a good solution.But then i have yet to see a slug here (u might like the sound of that Wulf), so i can't complain too much... The termites tend to cover things they are eating with mud, so they munch away even under the sun (which they don't like at all)...So thought it might interesting for u all to see!
as i was just reading the getting rid of ants thread, which is my next problem...its dry season now, so the bugs go looking for water...in the house. i'll try again...
