Default Termites swarming in So. CALIF

Just watched a spider smaller than the head of a pin stun a termite
without wings and haul it for future feast. Spider was able after
several tries to get on the termite body and apparently stun it into
submission then proceeded to build web support to drag the hulk about
4" where it now resides with spider adjacent. Had fly swatter in hand
and resisted swatting as the scene evolved.

You need to hire more spiders to take care of the remaining termites.
One spider just simply won't do it.

One might if it was hired on piecework.
Union spiders will just sit around drinking coffee all day.

I think the kind of spiders he needs are the ones that congregate on
the street corner each morning. Of course, the bilingual spiders cost
a bit more, but you only need one.
