1: Determining whether you have flying ants, or winged termites is important in how you treat the problem. Some winged flying ants resemble the winged-swarming termite. Here are some ways to identify the differences: termites are boring, whereas flying ants have animated discussions. It’s fun to listen in. But termites should simply be ignored. Unless, of course you are a landlord.
2: Now let’s talk about flying monkeys. Flying monkeys are there for you when the floor falls in. Otherwise, we don’t believe in flying monkeys.
The Wizard of Oz was written to malign flying monkeys. Little known secret, but he was a likely landlord. Landlords own all of the land. Regardless what you may think, or the scraps of paper in your hand, they run everything. And they want to ignore termites. And they don’t want to hear about flying monkeys. From a landlord’s perspective, when the floor falls in, that should be the end of it. Time for another tennant. But flying monkeys rescue tennants. So when flying monkeys come into a landlord’s life, well, it means new flooring, which is expensive. Why? Because rescued tennants are routinely mad. They make reasonable demands. Ergo, flying monkeys cost landlords money. Better to make them look bad, say anything to avoid paying attention to termites.
3: And finally now, let’s not move along to flying cockroaches. Nothing good can be said about them.
