It's nice that a government program actually ever solved the problem it was meant to address and shut down, but I hope they didn't do it too soon: > After no signs of termite activity were detected for the past 10 years, the Saunton termite colony has officially been declared dead > There have been false dawns before in this battle of the beasties. Going into the new millennium there were no sightings of the termites for nine years. Then their beadlike antennae were again spotted rooting around in the soil, resulting in the eradication and monitoring programme being extended repeatedly until this year. Seems like the same distribution that produced a result after nine years could produce one after ten. Hopefully they got them all the first time.

> It's nice that a government program actually ever solved the problem it was meant to address and shut down This site can be so exhausting. Government is not necessarily the enemy. Stop seeing everything through those glasses, please. Government is the organization we created to do things together. That's all it is. Stop implying that it's always the enemy and that everything the government does is bound to end in failure.
