Where is this taken? Thank you but I don't want this listing for the termite house or the location that it is occupying!

Good morning,  Joanna Cohlan there's nothing more discouraging than to have a listing with termite tunnels up the foundation walls...

Joanna Cohlan I would hope you did not have that mud dome in your area. We don't even see domes in Florida or San Diego. But, we certainly have dry wood and subterranean termites in both locations!

Wowsers, have never seen this, as we don't have termites here in CO.

Good Morning Joanna -  is that what they look like?  As long as they are far from my house I am happy.

Is that after the termites got done with it?  Or something they built on their own?

As long as they stay away from my home and my listings, these termites are welcome to live where they want!

Good evening Raymond E. Camp and Nina Hollander and Chris Ann Cleland and Grant Schneider -this is an actual TERMITE Residence that I saw in Mexico-it is kind of revolting to me-but everything in nature has its place I guess

Hey there Hannah Williams and Michael Jacobs and Kasey & John Boles and Joan Cox - Isla Mujeres Mexico and yes Hannah this is their house! We have them in New York and I guess on the east coast but nothing like this!!!  But maybe Barbara Todaro has seen something like this?

Good evening Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 and Ron and Alexandra Seigel and Doug Dawes - I have heard horrible stories about these termites- in the northeast we have termite traps that are electronically  monitored!

Hi Ruth Vogt and Harry F. D'Elia and Lise Howe - it is weirdly intriguing to me-despite my initial disgust, to look at this and wonder about how it was built!

Good evening Joanna Cohlan ,

Wow!! That is an estate size termite abode! We do have termites in Austin..very common but they are usually nipped in the bud early so never have ever seen anything like this!
