This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Home.’ See more offerings here.
Here in Hawaii, home is where the termites are, and if nothing is done about them, they will literally eat you out of house and home. So every few years most houses get tented and filled with poisonous gas. Best not to be home at the time. The house stays tented overnight to give the gas time to seep into all the nooks and crannies. Next day, the tent is removed and the homeowner is supposedly guaranteed a few more years of termite-free living.
This was a neighbor’s house, and every time I see a tented house like this, I think of circuses.
Thank you for that explanation!

Now I know what to think, if I ever see a tented house. Otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue!

Unless it really is a circus!

Home is where the termites are…that’s hilarious, Graham, but serious business! They do have a circus tent appeal don’t they?

Yes, usually the tents are quite colorful. Not sure why.
