TERMITES!!!

Well, they are here. Jerry and I found out today that we in fact bought a house with termites. Damn! What the heck do we do now? I called up the Orkin guy, and for $2000.00 dollars I can get my house treated with no guarantee.  Uhhh, what the heck do you do? So either option A, go into debt to fight off termites that may or may not die or leave my home because there is no guarantee, or option B, do nothing and watch our first home crumble in front of us. I am so disappointed and asked my mom today if this is something I can just pray away. I would love it if it would work, lol. Last year Jerry and I had thought we might have termites because we had found some in the yard, and over at the neighbors. Last spring I had an Orkin guy come out and he found no evidence of any termites, we still wanted to take percussion's, but could not afford it. Now this year, low and behold, there is no doubt. When they start flying into your house through cracks in the window frame, it's hard to deny that they are there. I caught some and showed them to the Orkin guy, knowing full well already what they were. His response to me is, "I am sorry I hate to see a young family have to deal with this, but you most definitely have termites." Well, crap! So now I know I am living with bugs, in my walls and under my floor. I really do think it is such a crime that they can charge so much for something so potentially dangerous to an entire home. If you don't have it, you just have to wait. Ugh. I am really disappointed, but have decided that nothing can be done immediately, so I might as well not fret over it. I am also going to shop around and see if I can find anything cheaper. I just am really disappointed that this happened, and right now, the timing sucks!
