Termite tented church

A church being tented for termites in Kapaau Hawaii

No, it’s not the circus in town, it’s another church tented to gas those pesky termites that could otherwise chew their way through the building. This one is St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church at Kapaau. I’ve pondered before on the theological implications of this practice, but I suppose it falls under casting out demons, rather than mistreating God’s creatures!

      It’s not uncommon to see structures tented, but there are only so many churches so they stand out. I think the bold colors are to make it obvious what’s going on so that people stay away.

        I guess it could have been that long ago. Still interesting way of fumigation. I don’t think I’d go into the church until it had been aired out for at least 6 months
