Insects, worms, termites, etc... - Tiki Carving

So be careful!! I was BBQing last night and noticed a termite wing float by. I checked my surrounding outdoor tikis and found some termites. I have two kinds. :) If your tikis are small enough and/or BBQ big enough throw the tikis on the grill for a couple hours. You'll want core temp to be around 150. That is hard to check. However, it takes less time and money if you're are just cooking your Indo tikis. "Excessive heat kills drywood termites by disrupting cellular membranes and denaturing enzymes needed for their survival." This should work for those little black beetles as well. Erik the Red
