Either way, I have continued it to keep Mrs Fox happy. I just hope she drops that idea to dig elephant traps in the garden to protect the vegetables, because I'm fairly sure there are no pachyderms in the area.
Of the 100,000 in the villages, a couple dozen frequent here. Not a representative sample.

It almost sounds like you are saying that Termite protection is a scam. If so, by all means don't protect your house.
