There was, in the days of generations now passed into the gates of hades, a spirit that guarded a road. He was a kind spirit; he had been in the place for as long as anyone can remember. They say he looked like a tall man in shining green armor, with the wings and arms of a mantis. Nobody ever saw the face below his helmet. He was a kind spirit in those days, a protector of the travelers and the wanders. Those lost in the night he would show the way. He would walk with those who needed protection. The shops on the side of the road would put out warm milk and meat pies for him, and he would award them with money and customers. And any church that preached that he was an unclean thing would find themselves restored by termites and rats without his dear protection.

They say one day, as he walked alongside a young woman as she made her way home through a cold winter's night, a man came up to her and tried to take her away at the point of a knife. The spirit was enraged, and melted the attacker's eyes from his skull, and closed the holes in his face under his body died from lack of air. It was a brutal fate, though a fair one for a soul who would have done worse to one more innocent. And from that day forth the spirit spoke that anyone who walked along that road would be protected by the spirit's magic, and anyone or anything, human or beast, spirit or cryptid, who tried to bring those who walked his road to harm, would suffer a horrifying fate.

Though the people were protected, the road changed. First slowly. Automobiles began to appear, fueled by the fossils of the dead, and soon stoplights to tell when people were permitted to walk. Soon what was once the edges of the road was sidewalk. The road was paved again and again. And soon there weren't trains and weren't trollies. And store after store closed down, for new stores to be opened, giant boxes owned by corporations, with massive parking lots outside of them, that would never think to leave out milk and meat pies. And then one day there was no stoplight, and no sidewalk, because any place where human feet could be permitted to walk had been removed. They called the road a highway than, and the humans' leaders were proud of it. It was too noisy for even the wyverns to fly over, and too barren for even werewolves to hunt. But the spirit was still there.

And then the spirit took up a new banner. When the last safe place to walk was gone, and the first human was struck and killed trying to cross the highway, he had dropped the banner of the seelie court and taken up unseelie way. Not out of vengeance but out of duty.

All who seek to harm those who wish the walk the road are caused by his law, and those new powerful machines called automobiles are no different. Cars that drive through the great spirit's road find themselves crashing into each other, or spinning randomly and flying around the road, or breaking down and never moving around. Mechanics can't figure out why, can't explain why there are always flies and worms and snakes and scorpions in every car that passes through that road. Even the drivers aren't safe, nobody who would drive such a lethal machine through the spirit's road is safe, they find their bodies bleeding, and skin dashed with cuts as if from an insect's claws, and minds filled with eldritch madness. And they say there are many cars that seem to lose their drivers, with only bugs or toads in their place.

Some still see the spirit's body in the dark of the night. He's changed now, his armor has turned night black, and its shape twisted from what looked like a knight's suit, to an insect's strange shell, his once slender body stretched to an inhumanly elongated and spindly build. His claws are now like great blades, and where his face was once only in shadows, now two glowing eyes can be seen from below his helm, like a dark pervasion of headlights. But he is still the same creature he always was, this is only another side of the same being. And those animals and jaywalkers who cross the highway, will never be hit under his gaze, even if a thousand cars burst into flames to keep them safe.

Concept art for a new species within the Sunset Sands Sinematic Suniverse: Mechins (pronounced meh-kin). More worldbuilding details below images.

I’ve had this idea for a while, but this is my first time trying to put it to paper. The basic concept is that they are mobile structures made of a wood pulp/paper mache-like material, analogous to termite mounds or wasp nests. The eusocial bug-like creatures that built and lives inside the structure have highly specialized castes for each of its necessary bodily functions, filling the roles of muscles, nerves, and connective fiber. Though none of these creatures are sapient on their own, they come together to form an intelligent collective conscience, that being the mind of the mechin itself.

Because the shape and structure of the hard outer parts is not determined by the resident creatures’ DNA, mechins can take on a near infinite variety of sizes and body plans. They may also incorporate materials besides just the aforementioned wood pulp, such as glass or metal, if they come across it.

The outer shell may take a more sleek, robotic form or a bumpier, organic form. This is more a matter of personal preference than anything, with tendencies from one to another varying greatly depending on region and cultural background.

The social structure of mechins is a bit more solitary than humans, with some individuals, especially larger ones. behaving and being viewed as more as nations than people. They are highly protective of the land they claim and the resources held within, and will fight off any unwanted invaders that may enter, often with weapons built into their bodies. If another mechin is found to be trustworthy, they may form an alliance, with larger alliances comprising possibly thousands of individual colonies. Alliances between mechins are technically a form of polyamorous romantic relationship, and behavior between allied mechins is usually more flirtatious than diplomatic.

The mechin reproductive process involves two or more individuals within an alliance first gathering the materials required to build the outer shell, mostly just plant matter and small bits of metal. After that, one adds a queen to the materials while the others each add a few drones. These initial organisms will give way to a generation of nerve, connective, and muscle organisms which will work together to construct a starting body for the colony-to-be. The structure of the newborn mechin is not set for life, and may be expanded and renovated in accordance with current tactical needs or fashion trends.

Mechin gender is determined by their preferred way of interacting with other mechins, and may change many times over the course of their lives. The long list of meche genders includes but is not limited to “warlord,” “diplomat,” “pacifist,” “isolationist,” and “economist.” It is generally expected that alliances will occur between mechins of the same gender, but straight relationships are not too uncommon.

The mechin homeworld, Borgam, is hotter than, drier than, and about 1.25x the size of Earth. It has five moons of varying sizes and orbits a pair of red stars. I have not yet put much thought into the resident flora and fauna of this planet, but I do know at the very least that there are a few species of eusocial centipede, which are relatives of the species that gave rise to the mechins.

That is all I can currently think to say about these things. Like all of my other assorted worldbuilding messes, I will add onto this post later if there is anything interesting I can think to expand on.

Based on the 2003 film “Scary Godmother”  Word Count: 5,764 AO3 Link: Here!

Sabine’s boot scuffed against the dirt and leaves piled against the crickety wood to the porch of the old mansion, the rumors around the building were numerous and varying, all the Mandalorian had been able to gather had been some old war General snapping and killing his wife, Skywalker something or another. It was before Sabine’s time, leaving the local kids to fill the gaps in the police reports with all kinds of stories of aliens, ghosts, and small green goblins of all kinds. 

Apparently, it was some kind of tradition to make the new kid on the block offer candy to the spirits that still roamed the halls of the old family home, and Sabine was unfortunate enough to be the newest addition to the small Coruscanti cul-de-sac when Thrawn found out she didn’t have any plans (or friends) that Halloween, he was quick to sink his talons into her calendar. 

Golden eyes flickered back to the group of teenagers by the rusted gate, huffing at the mirth in red eyes Thrawn watched on. “You’re not… scared, are you?” Xiono called, the cardboard of his starship costume creaking as he waved his arms.

“Di’kute…” The young woman grumbled, pointedly ignoring the way Leia and Holdo ganged up on the pilot and the devil to quiet their taunts. Several pairs of feet soon shuffled to join her on the porch, under Leia’s scrutinizing gaze. 

“All together, if you’re going to be a Moof Milker about it, Thrawn,” She scolded as they stomped up the stairs together. 

“Can we get this over with already?” Amilyn called from the back of the group as she worked her way to Leia’s side, purple-painted lips drawn into a pout as she moved to Leia’s side, fingers brushing the cheap felt of the cat tail pinned to black pants. “Some of us have plans tonight,”

“E chu ta,” Sabine huffed, not bothering with the older woman’s reaction to her language as she turned the knob and shouldered the front door open. 

Dust was disturbed from the wooden door creaking against moldy carpet; Sabine had the foresight to tuck her mouth and nose into the dark orange bandana around her neck, smiling to herself at the round of hacking and wheezing coughs from the older kids behind her. 

The floorboards groaned and complained under her feet as she stepped into the entryway, leaving imprints in the shaggy maroon carpet as the gaggle of teenagers pushed onwards. “They say the senator’s spirit still lives in the basement,” Thrawn called in a low whisper as they moved through dilapidated halls, veering out of the way of sagging wallpaper and broken beams the whole way, occasionally reaching with her plastic Nerf revolver to swat away at various webs. 

The basement door sat off the kitchen, bubbling tile warping the floors, where termites ate away at the wooden doorframe, the metal of the dozen padlock brackets just barely holding on to the feeble supports. When Thrawn spoke next, it was from further away, Sabine didn’t have the foresight to notice that the others hadn’t followed them this deep inside, didn’t notice that the moment her hand wrapped around the dirty bronze knob to pull the door open, she was alone. 

The festering lamination of the tiles made it hard to wrench the door open, and there was a gross squish as she finally got it to swing forward on corroded hinges. The smell that floated up to meet her was vile, making her wish she’d followed her gut and snagged her respirator from the garage before she’d left, even if it didn’t go with the costume. 

Something slammed near the front of the house, shaking the whole building; She couldn’t hear anything but the groans of the old house, no shuffling of feet or smacking of lips from Holdo and Organa, not even snickering laughter from Xiono. Fear sparked into her veins in silence. She was no stranger to being alone, or even the prospect of death that hung in the air with the tragedy of the old family legacy. 

Rifling through the cheap leather pouches on her bandolier, Sabine pulled the inexpensive treat from the melty confines of her belt, chucking it down into the abyss with a sigh. 

She wasn’t expecting any kind of spiritual response, the dollar candy bar wouldn’t rewrite the wrongs committed to these people, wouldn’t somehow prevent tragedy worldwide; she was just appeasing some jackass kids so she wouldn’t have to be entirely alone this year, with Tristain going off to some fancy Saxon academy, and her father away for the year for his art. 

Of course, nothing ever seemed to work out the way Sabine thought it would when the foundation of the house rumbled with the predatory sound of a growl rumbling through someone’s chest.

Sabine turned tail immediately, not waiting to stick around when she caught sight of glowing blue illuminated in the basement stairwell, or the quickening thuds of two pairs (?) of feet rushing up the steps. The entire gang was gone, as Sabine made a mad dash for the front door, heartbeat thudding so loud in her ears that she couldn’t make out the exasperation of someone’s voice calling out.

“Ahsoka! Stop! You’re scaring her!” 

Sabine’s hands fumbled with the knob to the front door, twisting and pulling to no avail, she could make out the faint snickering of Thrawn and Xiono on the other side of the wood, and knew they were holding the heavy door shut for whatever prank they were playing; That’s all this was-

Sabine turned to reprimand the older teenagers that decided to play tricks, to kick their asses and show them why you didn’t mess with a Mandalorian; and was stopped dead in her tracks.

Her oppressors, a Twi’lek and a Togruta, were stopped just six feet away. 

From the decaying, rotting, green skin that clung to the remains of a skeleton on the Twi’lek, Sabine was forced to face the fact that maybe these weren’t some special effects majors playing into Thrawn’s games. 

“What the kriff is going on,” She gasped, out of breath and exasperated, unable to get the door open and escape the slow advance of the reanimated corpse and the samurai-coded beast beside her. “Don’t move,” She ordered with a snap, back pressing into the frigid coolness of the door, hands curling into fists as she raised them to defend herself. 

“Hey, hey! It’s okay, we aren’t going to hurt you,” The zombified woman started, holding her hands out in a soothing manner, which may have been the case if it weren’t for the missing and splintered pieces of bone all across her dead hands. 

“I’m,” A mottled elbow into the thin space between rusty armor plates. “We’re your scary godparents,” The Togruta’s growl had finally ceased; her voice was raspy from the continued sound, eyes dulling as they reacquainted with the moonlight pouring in through the dusty paned glass. 

“My fucking what?”

“Told you she wasn’t going to believe you,” The zombie cackled, earning a roll of predatory eyes. 

The Togruta took another step forward; Heart beating faster than her brain, the Mandalorian moved, one foot planting firmly in the squishy carpet as she wound up, sending her fist flying towards the orange woman.

“Mandalorians,” The zombie groaned with a sigh, stepping back just in time for golden eyes to catch the quirk of full lips around bloody fangs, just before the world went black. Her body dropped like a sack of bricks under the Samurai wanna-be’s hand, slotted up under the leather of her vest to press into her pulse points. 

Something wet was sniffing at her arm, fast inhales around flaring nostrils as they moved up her body, too close to her ear.

“Zeb, cut it out, I’m not going to stop her from kicking your ass if she wakes up to you being weird,” 

“What? I’m starving, and you know how good they make food in the West.” A gruff voice whined too close to her ear. 

“She’s Mandalorian, not your weird Wild West barbeque.” The Togruta from earlier chimed in. The sound of a scuffle roused Sabine further from the thick haze of sleep, eyes cracking open to the sight of a hairy, dirty… something being dragged away from her. 

“Aww, come on!” He complained loudly as he was pulled away from his meal, large arms crossing over his chest in a grotesque version of a pout as the orange woman easily manhandled him into another cobweb-ridden couch.

“What the kriff is going on?” Her voice was painfully thick in her mouth, pain spreading noticeably from her jaw. The small gaggle of noise around her came to an immediate halt.

“Lady Tano, I thought you said she would not be awake any time soon,” Someone from behind her chimed in. 

“I also said your read on her was wrong, Huyang,”

Sabine was forcing herself to sit up, blinking away the dizziness that came with the pounding in her head. She’d been knocked out more than enough times to understand by now that she’d been pretty effectively put down. “If someone doesn’t start talking-”

A cold, dead hand settled on her shoulder, freezing her words in her throat as her head turned, reminded instantly of the corpse that had been in her weird, fucked up, apparently not-a-dream memories. “I wouldn’t try that again, kid. Really,”

“Hera, you’re givin’ the kid a heart attack- er… humans still have hearts, right?” The purple…. Thing called from the other couch, rubbing at the thick hair on the back of his neck as he sat up, unsettling orange-green eyes peering almost through Sabine. “You good, kid? Or am I getting dinner tonight?”

“What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck… yeah, and… what the fuck?” Sabine whispered under the attention of three sets of eyes. 

“Hey, that’s no language someone your age should be using!” The zombified Twi’lek reprimanded, though her hand did finally raise from her shoulder to rest back in her lap, the remains of bony fingers picking at what was left of the skin on her hands. “I know this is a lot, and we definitely did not go about this the right way-”

The Togruta was too close, now, though she chose to crowd the corpse instead, large, lively, warm hands encasing pale green comfortingly, almost breathing life back into a long-dead body, Sabine had to tear her eyes away, finding the rooting wood leg of the coffee table to press the scuffed up toe of her boot into, watching the give of the dampened material to avoid the intruding feeling of the mushiness beside her.

“What Hera’s trying to do is apologize on my behalf. How’s your face?” Her fingers linked through green, preventing the Twi’lek from picking at her skin further. “I didn’t expect to lay you out like a baby getting drop-kicked by a gundark.”

“ ‘m fine, but some answers would be nice,” Her fingers raised to prod at what was probably already an ugly bruise, skin twinging under the press against abused flesh. Her elbows planted firmly into her knees, her body doubled over as she studied her still swaying surroundings. “What the kriff is that?”

“Oh, that’s just Huyang,” The zombie, Hera, corrected with a dismissive shrug. The… Huyang must have been a droid, at some point in its existence, though now, it resembled a human skeleton in all the worst ways, with its not-so-internal hardware dangling in the design of organs, caged in by durasteel bones that seemed to barely want to stay attached. Glowing yellow eyes watched her with something like disdain.

“Lady Wren,” The droid creaked out in an echoing voice that grated at her eardrums. 

Sabine’s weight shifted uncomfortably on the couch, hands laying flat against her thighs, wiping sweat from her palms as she tried to subtly inch her hand towards the bowie knife her Buir had given her before he’d left for his tour. 

“Sabine,” The Togruta called, the next thing the teenager knew, a large hand was laying on her hand, halting her slow ascent for her weapon.”If you’d like, I can take you back; I know we didn’t handle this one great;”

“An understatement,” Hera grumbled under her breath.

“Every now and then, a child will be picked, and assigned to somebody on the fright side,” Finally, some answers. Sabine allowed her attention to focus entirely on the almost ethereal woman before her, sinking back into the cushions under the warm press of a large hand against her own; Maybe the woman really was breathing life back into people. “We got you a little late, most of the time, they give us kids that believe in monsters-”

“Like that Ezra kid on Lothal,” Zeb grumbled with a throaty chuckle. “Five years later, still screams like it’s day one,”

“You know Ezra?” Sabine butted it, brows knotting as she glanced between them. 

“He was one of our first contracts; We get sent to kids when they need us most.”

Sabine scoffed, pulling her hand from Ahsoka’s to cross over her chest. “Not all the time,”

“You were very difficult to get a track on, on the other side. Mandalore-” Sabine flinched visibly. “Was never the easiest place to connect to.”

“So what, you’re like a fairy godmother or some Bantha shit?”

A smile cracked the woman’s lips. “Scary godmother, yes. I suppose you may have gotten hit a little too hard to remember...”

A ringing yell startled the Mandalorian as it echoed through the building, “Oh! Royalty’s here!” Huyang called, allowing Sabine a reprieve from the overwhelming presence as she turned to shoulder past him for the front door. “Excuse you, I’ve known Lord Baylan longer,” The droid protested as he was bumped with a hip out of the way.

“Yeah, that probably explains a lot,” Ahsoka remarked teasingly as she pulled several locks from the door.

Leaning towards Hera, Sabine watched the droid and Togruta bickering. “Who is she again?”

“Ahsoka Tano, but your world might know her more as Fulcrum,” The woman replied warmly as her hands twisted together in her lap once more, yellowed nails skirting harmlessly off her skin to both ease the desire to pick at her hands, and to avoid pulling away more skin, for Ahsoka’s sake. 

“Yeah, she eats kids, ya’know,” Zeb husked with a twitch of purple lips, sharp canines peeking past his lips. 

“Garazeb Orrelios, you know that isn’t true.”

The Lasat waved his hand dismissively, pushing himself off the couch with a groan. “Is there any food?” He grumbled, rubbing his stomach as it growled. “I’m starving.”

Sabine met his gaze with daggers of her own as he looked at her, her own lips twitching into a victorious smile as he grumpily looked away under the burning gaze of the woman beside her. “Last year, you annihilated the buffet before half of our guests even arrived!” The droid called, glowing yellow eyes narrowing as he rolled up a paper plate to smack the Lasat on the arm.

“Kids,” Ahsoka chided as she stepped through the open archway that divided the living room from the main house. “Best behavior,”  

Behind her stood a towering figure that demanded more attention than any of the variety of beings in the home. White hair with equally pale skin, eyes redder than sin itself, and a jawline that could cut ancestral beskar.

Next to the strange man, a much shorter woman stood, poised in a similar way that demanded her attention. Her hair, brown and blonde and peppered with grey, was pulled into tight, intricate braids across the top of her head. Black ink wove together to create half-moons in her skin, namely, at the base of her head, though Sabine could see the tip of more ink breaching out across her chest, under the blood-red silk wrapped around her frame.

Tucked behind them both stood a blonde teenager, lanky and brooding, hands shoved into the dark leather wrapped around their waist, style taking on a minimal earth tone compared to the two adults closing them in. Choppy blonde hair was adorned with a braid and a green gem woven into the strands where it fell past her collarbone. 

Really, the group looked almost like the most normal ones there, besides the lone human brought into the fold. When the man smiled to the room, Sabine felt unease stir, warm lights reflecting off the tip of sharp, white fangs. 

Her ears rang, too loud to hear the shorter woman as she greeted the others, but again, golden eyes didn’t miss the similar set of fangs in her mouth. “ ‘think I need to go,” She half grumbled to Hera as she shot to her feet, feeling eyes settling on her that made her queasy. “Bathroom?”

“Down the hall, here,” Hera tried to point her in the right direction, though Sabine was only half paying attention as she stumbled across the expanse of the living room and to the hall.

“Going somewhere?” The voice was light, haunted with hunger, hidden in the false intentions of genuine interaction. 

Golden eyes raised to meet sanguine, bristling under the memory of a man draped in black, a man who’d chased her people from their homes and left drained corpses in his wake. “Far away from you,” Sabine hissed, trying to shoulder past the blonde. She could hear the grumble of the adults in the room at the end of the hall, and knew that even their proximity could not save her if this vampire desired; she’d seen the stories, knew what had happened to her uncle Paz, right in front of Mandalore’s ruler. 

“Shin,” A strong voice called from the end of the hall. It was the man from earlier, another bloodsucker. His frame took up the entire hall, yet, he did not seem over-imposing, even offering Sabine a look of almost sympathy. “She is not from this world, you must remember to play nice.” 

Red eyes looked her up and down once, twice, and once again before realization dawned on the teenager’s face. “You’re a human?” They questioned in morbid curiosity, brows pinching together as she stepped back.  They looked to Baylan with uncertainty, though the slow dip of his head seemed to convey his silent confirmation. 

“What the fuck else would I be?” Sabine shot back, heckles still raised even as the vampire regarded her with a morbid curiosity

“A pain in the ass, apparently,” They grumbled, lips twisting sourly at the sharp red gaze of who, Sabine could only assume, was their father, sent her way. 

“Shin, come. Leave Sabine Wren to her devices, Marrok is due to arrive shortly,” His hand extended to the young vampire, who bowed her head in turn and stepped readily to his side. 

Sabine released a slow breath as her path was reopened, only nodding her mild appreciation to the Vampire Lord for the save, before pushing bodily into the creaky door of the bathroom. 

The mirror was dirty and streaky, with green and brown lines seemingly permanent across the glass, distorting the woman in the mirror as she stepped into it. 

Ahsoka really did deal a number on her, the olive skin around her jaw was mottled with purple, blue, and green blossoming across her jaw in a morbid canvas. “Karabast,” She groaned, turning her head this way and that with a frown. That was going to be a hard one to explain… or not, since Thrawn and Xiono practically trapped her in the Skywalker’s home; Hell, maybe she was even going to wake up and find out she just fell down the stairs.

When Sabine swung the door open, she jumped at the sight that met her. A man, towering over her like the Vampire had, with a murky aurora and a helmet covering his entire face from view. Wisps of green smoke filtered from the mask as he seemingly stared listlessly at her. 

“Fuck!” She jumped, shoulder smacking painfully into the doorframe as she smacked into it to get around him. “E Chu Ta!” She spouted as adrenaline filled her veins, urging her hurried steps down the hall, contrasting the slow, purposeful steps he took to follow her. 

Back in the living room, Sabine made quick work of getting Ahsoka between the daunting figure and herself, even reaching to fist her fingers in the fabric of the cloak that sat around her shoulders. “Marrok, down boy,” She teased with a soft laugh as his steps slowed to a halt. “You’re scaring her this time,”

“I am not scared,” The Mandalorian disagreed vehemently, brows pinching in annoyance as she peered around the predatory warrior’s shoulder, allowing the Togruta to shield her from the ghastly figure’s gaze. 

Marrok shifted to meet her eyes again, The Mandalorian bared her teeth, shoving her hand into her pocket and whipped out the pocket flashlight that her mother had made her grab before leaving. The light shined into his face, yellow-white peering into a mask… except, there was no face, or eyes, or anything solid to be seen through the small slit. 

“What the fuck?” It was quickly becoming her favorite phrase, at least, in this weird… Monster House. 

“Eh, that’s just Marrok,” The Lasat called as he stuffed a handful of candied meiloorun into his mouth, chewing loudly as he lounged next to Baylan, seemingly undisturbed by the vampire Lord’s disturbed gaze. “He’s a fart,” 

“Why hasn’t she come out yet?” Leia called, worrying at the skin of her lip as she peered towards the door. They’d heard Sabine pounding on it almost an hour ago, when Thrawn was insistent on holding it closed despite the Mandalorian’s best efforts. 

“You don’t think something might have actually been in there…” Holdo started, brows furrowing up at the gloomy porch, kicking the toe of her shoe into the overgrown grass. 

“Trick or treating is almost done, Thrawn, can’t we just leave her here?” Xiono complained, hooking his thumb under the nylon strap keeping his costume up, shifting the weight where it pressed against his shoulders. 

“No,” Thrawn hissed, resting his chin against his knuckles as red eyes flickered across the building. 

“This isn’t funny anymore,” Xiono shook his head, arms crossing over his chest and crinkling the cardboard tubes of one of his turrets in his pout. 

“We’ll go in and get Wren, then.” He decided ultimately, brushing fuzz from the cheap blue horns on his head. “Organa, you lead,” The young Alderaanian glared at him, but still bravely forged on to the front door.

It took time for Sabine to calm down and get into the vibe of the party, but between the different monsters, she found that they were genuinely more fun to hang out with than any of the friends she’d made in the city so far, except for maybe Ketsu, but she moved. 

Shin sidled up to her with a minor look of disgust pulling at her normally impassive features. “My parents are necking again,” She explained, red eyes casting towards the corner; the sight of the towering man practically folded over his wife was almost comical, though Sabine cringed sympathetically.

“Gross,” 

“So what is a human doing at the fright night party this year?” They were turned towards her fully, arms crossed over the grey angular tunic across her chest.

“Really? I have no clue. Went into an abandoned house, got decked in the face,” Sabine nodded her head towards Ahsoka with a sheepish smile, though her demeanor faltered when gloved hands rose to her face. “What are you..?”

Shin stilled, seemingly surprised by the way they were reaching out for Sabine with two fingers. Brows pinching, they forged forward, until the cool leather of her gloves brushed across the bruised skin of her jaw, skin covering the blossom of blood beneath the surface. Sabine watched with bated breath, weight shifting between her feet as the blonde finished her inspection in silence. “Why would you go into an abandoned building?” They questioned, breath just above a whisper, head cocking cutely to the side in a way that didn’t make butterflies flutter in the Mandalorian’s stomach. 

“Just a stupid kriffing dare,” Sabine grumbled, stepping away from the wall she’d made herself at home against to drop down into one of the open couches, tucking her feet up under her as her lips twisted into a scowl. The young vampire perched on the cushion on the opposite end, fingers twisting up the woolen fabric of her kama where it came to rest at their knees. “They wanted to ‘trap’ me in the house to see how scared I’d get,” Her eyes rolled as she sunk back into the couch, arms crossed moodily over chest. 

“Have you considered revenge?” Shin questioned, eyes narrowed dangerously as the tight-knit group of party-goers not so subtly listened into their conversation.

The Mandalorian scoffed pathetically. “Try going against Thrawn? Alone? Might as well move into massacre mansion alone,” 

“There is…. Another way,” Huyang perked up, looking between his companions with something as close to devilish mirth as a neutral droid face could muster.

“Revenge is groovy,” Baylan remarked, thumbs awkwardly extended as he glanced at the younger compatriots to their grand scheme. 

“This is so embarrassing, I could just live.”  Shin’s face dropped into her hands, groaning at the laugh that bubbled past Sabine's lips, freely into the night as everyone began brainstorming the best revenge. 

“Alright, Thrawn, stop playing around, where is she?” Leia demanded as her flashlight cast shadows across the walls, eyes narrowed in growing frustration as she followed the imprinted footsteps across old carpet. 

“How am I supposed to know?” He hissed back, following the tracks with a contemplative look. “Sabine was not the only one in here,” He declared, following the dirt tracks into the old kitchen, where the basement door was wedged open. 

“Are you sure this is going to work?” Sabine whispered, staring up at Shin as the vampire’s fang pressed into their pale wrist, painting dark blood across the shorter woman’s forehead and chin as she went.

“I find your lack of faith disturbing,” They grumbled lowly, tongue poking past their lips as she worked in the dark, making Sabine out to look as roughed up as possible. “Though it would be easier if you let me take a bite,” incarnadine eyes followed the path of her jugular, hidden beneath layers of skin that made her teeth itch to think about. 

Before Sabine could reply, Shin’s hand was pressing into her mouth, body covering Sabine’s as she was shoved back up against the wall. “Game time,” They husked into her ear, eyes flickering back to signal the advancement of her peers. 

Their hand carded through her hair harshly, though the restraint was tangible as they ‘forced’ Sabine’s head back. “Hey!” She shouted as the gaggle of teens passed, shoving harshly against Shin as she reached for her belt, where her flashlight was tucked into easy reach.

Noticing the struggle, Holdo and Leia were the first to rush to her aid. “Get off of her!” Leia shouted, yanking on the vampire's shoulder to break them apart. Even knowing the plan, the hunger that took over Shin’s face scared even Sabine, frozen for a millisecond as the blonde turned to advance on her four ‘saviors.’

Slipping the flashlight from her belt, Sabine flashed it at the side of Shin’s head, fighting off the smile on her lips from the overdramatic way the other teenager flung themselves back, trying to avoid the light as her arm raised to shield sensitive eyes from overbearing light. 

Their back hit the wall next, shrinking into the cape around their shoulders with fangs bared, their own blood still smeared against their lips to create a horrifying visage. “What are you waiting for?! Run!” She shouted to the group, forcing her own feet to move, shoving into Thrawn and Xiono to kickstart the process. 

Bursting from another hall came the towering figure of Baylan, fury in his eyes as he looked between his crumpled daughter and the frantic teens. Morgan moved swiftly between him and the doorframe to step in their path, the pair all but closing them in as more activity started in the house. 

With lightning speed, Sabine flashed the light to shine against the predatory creatures of the night. Like mother-like daughter, Morgan dramatically fell back into Baylan, knocking him off balance and sending both vampires careening to the floor with a loud thud. “Don’t stop!” She shouted again, thighs burning as they scrambled through the winding halls of a half-deconstructed building, fighting to find the exit. 

Again, a predatory growl seemed to permeate the structure of the home, the rumble from the Togruta’s chest casting across the halls, overpowering the sound of the group's feet as they raced down the back stairwell. Thrawn stopped, eyes searching in a way that was almost frantic as Ahsoka prowled closer. 

Before he knew it, a hand shot through the drywall, green and decaying, bones scraping against the rough material of his jacket, blue-hued blood staining the fabric in a way Sabine knew would eventually blend into the blue devil costume he’d donned that day. 

Sabine threw herself into the green forearm, wincing internally at the crack; Apparently, the zombified Twi’lek wouldn’t be hurt, and reattaching the limb was an easy process, Sabine just had to trust that her impact wouldn’t ruin the recovery, as the woman’s arm gave way under her body weight, snapping with a sickly wet sound before going limp again the door. “You need to keep moving,” She hissed darkly in Thrawn’s ear, shoving him through his paralysis as the growling grew nearer. 

The next stop on their haunted escape room tour was be the dining hall; Sabine wound up running into Leia’s back and stumbling, hand shooting out to catch herself on the table. In front of the only entrance, the ghastly form of Marrok stood to greet them. He was silent, now, but green smoke poured from his mask like a machine at a cheap Imperial Academy dance. 

If he’d scared her before, seeing him in his prime was enough to put genuine fear in her bones. His fingers flexed around nothing as the empty helmet gaped at them, though when he took his first step forward, Sabine shoved between Organa and Holdo, once again shining the flashlight into his face.

This time, instead of finding amusement in her actions, Marrok froze, the leather of his suit bubbling grossly, like the flooring in the kitchen, before he popped like a swollen balloon, green mist escaping into the air, just to be swept back into the dark, leaving only his helmet behind. “Is he dead?” Xiono questioned, weight shifting awkwardly as he tried to hide himself behind Thrawn.

“How about we don’t stick around to find out,” Sabine hissed as the growling grew closer. “There’s the door,” Once again shoving harshly at their backs, Sabine herded the group back into the entryway. If the portrait of the old Senator moved to watch Leia pass by it, the Mandalorian heeded it no mind, heralding everyone to the door. 

“It won’t budge!” Thrawn called, his brows furrowing as he pulled on it. Through the darkness of the glass window, Sabine saw an outline of a skeletal droid, and knew Huyang was offering revenge in the simplest form his morality would allow. 

“Gotal’ad, you’re a dink!” She hissed, shoving past him to tug on the knob. Brass gave easily under her hand, though she swung the door inwards slow enough to give the droid on the other side a chance. 

“Sabine!” Leia called, turning with eyes widened in fear; Ahsoka stood at the end of the entryway, eyes narrowed and fangs bared, muscles taut like a predatory ready to jump on its prey.

“Get out of here!” She shoved the others behind her, stepping forward to meet Ahsoka halfway. 

Before her first connected, she saw a sparkle of mirth in the Togruta’s eyes; It wasn’t a hard hit by any means, but the woman played it off perfectly, crumpling to the ground the moment the Mandalorian’s fist hit her face. 

Sabine turned, kicking out the toe of her boot to swing the door closed one last time. “Are you okay?” She whisper yelled, crouching down beside the woman.

“Hey, you heard Lord Baylan, revenge is groovy,” A toothy smile crossed her face as she forced herself to sit up, the other monsters started slowly making their way into the entry way. 

“Well. That was… Wizard.” Morgan commented as she brushed off her robes, pointedly ignoring the look of utter disgust and horror that crossed the blonde’s face. 

“You better get out there, Lady Wren,” Huyang spoke up, lifting Marrok’s helm from the floor and holding it out until the green mist shot back into the room and swirled inside it, returning the monster to his corporeal form. 

“Will I…” Golden eyes flickered around the room; To Hera, who was straightening her broken arm and flexing her fingers to be sure she was working again, Baylan, who was fussing over the incision Shin had bitten into their arm for the blood, Morgan, still laughing at her joke, Huyang and Marrok, being general terrifying, and Ahsoka, still sat on the floor, rubbing at the blossoming bruise on her cheek.

“Will I ever see you guys again?” She asked finally, scuffing her boot into the carpet and averting her eyes. 

“Of course!” Hera stepped forward, cold hand resting on Sabine’s shoulder. “Ahsoka, do you have the key?”

“I thought you had it?” She teased, reaching into a pouch on her belt to produce a small key. “Fit this into *any* door, and you’ll be home.” Ahsoka handed it up to Sabine, letting the purple-haired woman turn it around in her hands for a moment. “We’ll always be here when you need us, but right now, I believe they need you.” 

Through the door, Sabine could hear Xiono shouting. “Nuh-uh! I am not going home without the Mandalorian,” 

When the door forced open again, Thrawn was met with the sight of Sabine standing over the ‘corpse’ of the venomous Togruta, and nothing more. “Lady Wren, would you do us all a favor and see us back to our dwellings?”

Staring down at Ahsoka, she caught the twitch of the woman’s lips. “Yeah, let’s go,” She turned, folding the key into her pocket as she pulled her flashlight back out. “I’ll keep you safe, Thrawn.”

Once upon a time, when I was in still drowning in the brainrot that is "The Pearl I Carry in my Heart," I thought some of the chapters would start epistolary style.

It doesn't quite fit any more but I'm a hoarder so I kept all the letters in a different doc. Here's some of them if anyone wants BTS. There's more but let me figure out text cuts first because I have not posted in a minute.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

My greetings to you, Great Feathered Serpent, God-King of Talokan.

I am M'Baku of the Jabari, firstborn of [name] and [name]. I am now King of Wakanda and will be your contact regarding the Wakanda-Talokan Alliance. Because I know you will demand it, I will tell you that Shuri of the Panther Tribe, daughter of the late Queen Ramonda, remains as the Black Panther.

Our representatives should begin outlining the details of this treaty as soon as possible. The United Nations will likely give Wakanda little more than one month to grieve our queen before they come crawling out of the termite hill. If they find us, it will not be long before they find you. The people and resources of both our nations need to be protected.

I would rather just get on with it and send a list of demands but the council tells me that a summit is more appropriate for cultural exchange as well as all military treaties and the other things that come with an alliance. I have attached a draft of the possible topics during the summit. The soonest we will be ready to receive you is in two months. I would make it sooner but someone destroyed the capital and we are currently unpresentable.

Record and send your response through this bead and I will reply as soon as possible.

M'Baku of the Jabari, King of Wakanda

~*~

King M'Baku of the Jabari,

I made this alliance with Princess Shuri, the Black Panther. I will not speak to any other.

~*~

Ajaw K'uk'ulkan,

I regret to inform you that the Black Panther is unavailable for the foreseeable future. I will, of course, inform her of your response. It is up to her whether or not she will contact you.

M'Baku of the Jabari, King of Wakanda

~*~

Where is the princess?

~*~

She is away grieving her mother, you great feathered bottom-feeder. You will speak to me and no one else until this summit. If I find out you have tried to contact Shuri before she is ready, I will dance on your molars and left patella which will be the only pieces of your body remaining once she is done with you. I will wipe jade from the face of the earth so you cannot pay the Maize God into rebirth. I will melt down your useless gold armour to build myself a new toilet in the Citadel. Do you want this summit or not?

Respectfully,

M'Baku of the Jabari, King of Wakanda

I am incredibly autistic. I have gotten the flu vaccine for 10 years in a row. Autism flows through my blood. Anyways, here's a list of Lemon Demon Spirit Phone songs that I imagine Pathologic animatics to.

Lifetime Achievement Award - The Kains trying to revive Simon while Rubin takes him apart into the vaccine

Touch Tone Telephone - At first it's Aspity explaining to Clara what they both are (brand new species. Big cat. Space nazis. Robert Sack.) and then it's Clara trying to call everyone (Aglaya, Block, Saburovs) to explain her blood cult and convince everyone that it's a great idea

Cabinet Man - Polyhedron (Simon Kain's soul in it?) playing games with the the kids until Aglaya bombs it (very important to include a shot where her dead body is looking very triumphant)

No Eyed Girl - Simon Kain and Isidor obsessing over the plague. They decide to dig it up and kill everyone (they would do it all again)

When he died - Bachelor arriving to town to discover Simon Kain's dead (very important to include a shot of him coming back to Eva's and screaming into a pillow), later Artemy finding out Isidor is dead (and all the wacky circumstances).

Sweet Bod - My favourite. Starts with Artemy brewing his meat soup and taking organs out of people. He proceeds to go graverobbing with the kids. A dude hears about all this and tells the Bachelor. When the gang comes back (after a quick stop at Shekhen), Artemy finds out how to make panacea (it's started rumors of mason jars of sweetness). Everyone is super happy about this and they throw a panacea party in the lair with all the termites and Artemy's friends where they're all drinking twyre brews. Bachelor knocks on the the door, and Burakh greets him (Good god I'm glad to see you) (won't you be my panacea). Daniil gets dragged into the party and is incredibly uncomfortable. He tries to wake up Stakh, who is sleeping on the operating table so he can ask him what the fuck is going on. The animatic finishes off with a big dance off.

Eight Wonder - it's about Murky (extra clever earth bound spirit)! She has hands and she has feet! She follows Burakh around, being all quiet and Murky-like (thou will never know what I am) (she's the eight wonder). Suddenly switches to a shot of the Crowstone scene, Burakh terrified as he understands that the plague is going to take Murky (when you see me, you're paralyzed). Then it shows her backstory, how she lost her family to the plague, and this is compared to how Artemy took in the plague to protect her. I imagine this makes her feel really guilty. The thing is that Murky doesn't talk a lot, but this is how I interpret this part of her story. BUT THEN it's Evil Clara aka possibly plague herself (who tricked her) singing about how SHE'S the eight wonder. And Clara and Murky dance in the void

Ancient Aliens - Clara singing about her nature again. About Worms, Brides, Albinos, Aspity and the plague also (strange things happen).

Soft Fuzzy Man - actually it's really weird that I don't imagine much to this one since it's an absolute banger, but I guess it's Clara with her cult again.

As Your Father I Expressly Forbid It - Artemy forbidding Murky from playing with her friend (Plague) (in an untoxic way).

I Earn My Life - Stakh Rubin anthem. He's overworking, not sleeping for days. At "I'm losing all my hair" his bald head becomes even BALDER. "I learned it from my father and my father never lied" is literally something Stakh would say about Isidor. "I wouldn't be so worried if I wasn't always right". At the end he takes a nice long rest in the grave (Artemy didn't finish his panacea quest) (sad ending)

Man Made Object - Peter imagining, planning and building the Polyhedron (towering over all). I've always imagined if Peter had dream sequences, they would be in purple and orange, like the insides of the Polyhedron.

Spiral of Ants - About the Kin's hivemind. Artemy gets dragged into the Kin's circle and they all dance, create a hurricane, do the Nocturnal ending and decolonise the town.

You're at the party - (this one is really weird) The Marble Nest basically. Daniil can't fall asleep because of all the infected people screaming outside. He's having fever dreams, super tired. A crow is shown looking into his window, when the plague lichen or moss looking thing gets into the house he's in. He freaks out, runs up to the window and gets grabbed by a skeletal hand and dragged into some weird dimension, where he wakes up in a coffin (It's a place you've seen before you were born). Eventually he gets into a trance, and just starts vibing out with the tragedians that are there. Meanwhile, in the real world, Sticky walks into Daniil's room and sees that he's uncontious and really really infected. The partying is broken up at "Wake up!" and "Too late!" with shots of Sticky and the kids trying to shake him awake and give him medicine. Suddenly Daniil wakes up. He's sitting on his bed, but the kids aren't there. The crow that was looking in earlier flew in and is dead on the floor, surrounded by executor masks (sun's not rising and the birds are dead). For some reason there's a vial of panacea sitting near the sink, which Daniil runs up to, but accidentally breaks it (half empty bottles in the sink, down the drain). It starts raining, and Dankovsky just realises he can take his face off (your face begins to change), which he does, revealing a tragedian mask under it. Behind him appears a executor, and he finds himself at the start of that night again (Marble Nest time loop). There's clock and handwatch imagery present throughout this whole thing.

Redesign Your Logo - Peter and the Kains designing the Polyhedron AGAIN, this time in a style that kind of makes the whole thing look like blueprints. I don't have much on this one, but when Neil Cicieriga says "Interracial couples" - show Dankovsky and Burakh holding hands. And likewise have a character for every single line in that segment where he lists potential customers. There's also a lot of pathological symbolism to be done here (everything's connected 😲)

(I AM not intending the censor myself on this. This is strictly informational.)

Enshittification

This post is about search engines.

I'll get to that.

One of the relatively small home improvement projects on my plate is to replace the shutters.

Shutters, historically, were a necessary and functional element of a house which either served as the sole means of closing a window to the elements, or late as a way to protect the expensive and fragile glass of the windows.

Today, however, we retain them mostly out of tradition. Modern windows are made with tempered glass, multiple panes, and various coatings. So we do not actually need shutters (hurricane shutters are a different beast, but not what I am speaking of right now).

In fact, most shutters are purely decorative - simply screwed or nailed to the side of the house, with no hinge to close them. You'll only find functional shutters on historical buildings.

Personally, I don't much care for exclusively decorative elements. Which is not to say I don't like decoration, just that I prefer it be a functional part which is also aesthetically pleasing.

Unfortunately, a shutter has an effect: it causes discoloration of the siding. Or, more accurately, it prevents the siding under the shutter from becoming discolored. Either way, you can't simply remove shutters which have been up for any length of time unless you want to have a rather unsightly spot where there clearly WAS a shutter.

Thus, it was with some consternation that I observed a rather horny woodpecker completely destroying the shutters in the front of our house. At first I hoped it was salvageable, but he kept coming back, and there is nothing to be done for the damage he did. (And yes, he was horny: this was mating behavior, we don't have termites.)

Well. We had been thinking about replacing them: our new doors are black, the shutters are blue. which was helpful when we moved in, to distinguish our house from the other houses, but that's a non-issue to us now. And as repairs go, it could be worse. Right?

The first step was to determine the size of the shutters. No, they're not all the same size. There are common sizes, but one must check. And this is where we get to search engines.

I found that our existing shutters are 16.25" wide by 47" tall.

Something I have learned the hard way is, apparently the people building these houses were idiots who had acquired a large quantity of recreational drugs. They very often made wildly non-standard choices which cost substantially more, for no discernible reason. The double door opening in the back is 70" wide; standard is 72". That cost us a good $4000 more because we needed custom doors. The deck is made with 5/4 lumber (normal) which is nominal 4" wide (HOW??? You can't buy that!). To replace rotting deck board I have to either rip lumber to width, or route out divots in 2x4s.

And so, apparently, the shutters are NOT a standard size. They could have gone with a standard size. But they did not.

Understand, standardization is key to reducing construction costs. A complete idiot can build a rectangular 16'x 10' deck in an afternoon. A 15'x 13' deck with curves will take four times as long and require Actual Skill. And when you're talking whole units like shutters or doors, the materials cost goes way up: a 36" exterior door might run $250, while a 34" door will be around $900. And let's not even discuss a 35" door, which would have to be custom-made.

Which means that while a 14.5" shutter pair might run $50-$75 at Home Depot, and I could just walk in and pick them up, the ones I need are simply not available at Home Depot or Lowe's, and I must order from a specialty shop for only(!) twice the price. Delivery to occur between next Tuesday and the heat-death of the universe, please have a responsible adult available to sign for the delivery.

Except, I'm having a hard time finding the damned things at all.

The thing I am searching for:

"16.25 wide 47 tall black raised panel vinyl shutters". This is not some wildly out there thing. Common color, common style. Just an unusual width.

What am I getting? Wood shutters. Composite shutters. Louvered shutters. Every color except black. Oh, and each one is 14.5" wide.

Basically the search engines - and this isn't just Google, it's whatever they're using on the company websites, it's DuckDuckGo, it's Wayfair and Amazon - are all just going "Nah, he must want the common results for shutters."

So I'm annoyed at the woodpecker. And generally hateful of the builder.

But, honestly, Search engines were supposed to make it possible to find things online. They weren't supposed to hide what we wanted.

Effective Termite Pest Control Protecting Your Home from the Ground Up

Effective Termite Pest Control Protecting Your Home from the Ground Up

Termites are among the most destructive pests homeowners face, causing billions of dollars in damage yearly. Unlike other pests, termites work silently, often attacking the foundation of your home before visible damage appears. To protect your home effectively, you need a proactive termite control strategy. In this guide, we’ll cover the essentials of effective termite pest control, from early detection to ongoing prevention, so you can safeguard your investment from the ground up.

1. Understanding Termite Behavior: Why Ground-Up Protection Matters

Termites thrive in dark, moist environments, making your home’s foundation and surrounding soil an ideal target. They build underground colonies that grow exponentially, eventually reaching wooden structures within your property. For this reason, an effective control plan starts with the soil around your home, where termites are most likely to enter. By treating this area, you can cut off their access points and protect your home’s structural integrity.

2. Identifying Signs of Termite Infestation Early

Knowing the signs of termite activity is critical for early detection. Here are some telltale signs to watch for:

Mud Tubes: These are small, mud-like tunnels on walls or foundations, which termites use for shelter while traveling.

Damaged Wood: Termites often hollow out wood, leaving it with a thin, outer layer and a honeycomb interior.

Swarmers: Winged termites, known as swarmers, are a sign of a mature termite colony nearby.

Discarded Wings: After swarmers take flight to form new colonies, they shed their wings. You may find these near windowsills or baseboards.

3. The Role of Soil Treatments in Termite Prevention

One of the best preventative measures is to treat the soil around your home with termiticide, which creates a protective barrier. Modern soil treatments offer several advantages:

Longevity: Many treatments last several years, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.

Safe for Pets and Humans: Today’s products are designed to be effective on termites while remaining safe for pets and people.

Barrier Against Entry: By treating the soil, you prevent termites from reaching the wood in your foundation or structure, stopping an infestation before it starts.

4. Choosing the Right Termite Control Methods

There are a few main approaches to termite control. Selecting the right one depends on your home’s structure, location, and level of infestation:

Bait Systems: Termite bait stations are placed around the home’s perimeter, attracting termites to a slow-acting poison that they carry back to the colony.

Chemical Barriers: Soil treatments create a chemical barrier, preventing termites from entering your home. This approach is highly effective for long-term protection.

Wood Treatments: Wood can be treated with borate solutions, which make it unappealing for termites to consume. This is especially useful for crawl spaces and attics.

5. Regular Inspections: The Key to Ongoing Termite Prevention

Routine inspections are essential for effective termite control. Even with a strong prevention plan, it’s crucial to stay vigilant, as termites can find ways to bypass protective measures over time. An annual inspection by a licensed termite professional can catch new signs of activity and provide early intervention before damage becomes severe.

6. Landscaping Tips to Reduce Termite Attraction

Your home’s landscaping can also contribute to termite control. Here are some landscaping tips to reduce termite appeal:

Keep Mulch Away from the Foundation: Mulch retains moisture and can attract termites. Maintain a gap between mulch and the foundation to deter termite activity.

Eliminate Wood-to-Soil Contact: Avoid placing wood directly on the ground, as this provides easy access for termites. Use concrete bases for wooden structures instead.

Address Drainage Issues: Standing water near your foundation can attract termites. Make sure your property has proper drainage to avoid moisture buildup.

7. DIY vs. Professional Termite Control

While there are many DIY termite control methods on the market, they may not provide the same effectiveness as professional treatments. Licensed pest control specialists use advanced tools and chemicals that offer lasting protection. If you’re experiencing a significant infestation or want a comprehensive prevention plan, consider investing in professional pest control services.

Final Thoughts: Protecting Your Home with a Proactive Approach

Protecting your home from termites is all about taking preventive measures from the ground up. By combining soil treatments, regular inspections, and smart landscaping practices, you can effectively reduce the risk of infestation. The peace of mind that comes with a termite-free home is well worth the investment in a solid pest control strategy.

Comprehensive Pest Control: Effective Termite and Spider Solutions for Gold Coast Homes

Termites, often called “silent destroyers,” are known for their ability to cause extensive damage to homes and buildings. Gold Coast’s warm and humid conditions are ideal for termites, which thrive in moist environments. The presence of both native and invasive termite species adds to the complexity of managing these pests, making termite control a vital concern for homeowners.

Why Termite Treatment is Crucial for Gold Coast Residents

The damage caused by termites is often not visible until it becomes severe, as these insects feed on wood from the inside out. Left untreated, termites can weaken the structure of a home, causing extensive damage that often leads to costly repairs. Termite colonies can grow rapidly, making it essential to act at the first sign of infestation.

Professional termite treatment Gold Coast solutions are designed to provide early detection, effective eradication, and ongoing prevention. Experts use advanced techniques to identify and eliminate termite colonies before they can cause irreparable damage. Regular inspections are also recommended, especially for older homes or those with wooden structures that may be more susceptible to infestations. By taking preventive measures, Gold Coast residents can protect their homes and avoid costly termite repairs.

Effective Methods for Termite Treatment

The most successful termite treatments combine multiple methods to ensure that infestations are fully addressed. Some of the most popular treatments include:

Chemical Barrier Treatments: This involves applying termiticides around the perimeter of the building to create a protective barrier. The chemicals used are designed to repel termites and kill any that attempt to cross the barrier, keeping them away from the home.

Baiting Systems: Bait stations are placed in strategic locations to attract and poison termites. These systems are especially effective in reducing termite colonies over time and are commonly used as a part of a larger treatment plan.

Physical Barriers: Physical barriers, like stainless steel mesh and crushed granite, can be installed during construction to deter termites. While this option may not work for existing homes, it is a valuable preventive measure for new constructions on the Gold Coast.

Wood Treatment: Specialized chemicals are applied to wooden structures, making the material less appealing and lethal to termites. This is particularly helpful in homes with significant wooden elements.

Choosing a reputable termite treatment provider ensures that Gold Coast homeowners receive tailored solutions based on the specific conditions of their property.

The Need for Spider Control in Gold Coast

Spiders are another prevalent concern in the Gold Coast area. While some species are harmless, the presence of venomous spiders such as the Redback and Funnel-Web can pose health risks to humans and pets. Moreover, an abundance of spiders can contribute to a sense of unease, especially if they frequently enter living spaces. Spider control is essential for a clean, safe home environment.

Common Types of Spiders in Gold Coast

Gold Coast is home to several spider species, some more problematic than others. Understanding the types of spiders that commonly invade homes can help in creating effective spider control Gold Coast strategies.

Redback Spider: Recognizable by the red stripe on its back, this spider is venomous and commonly found in dark, sheltered spaces.

Funnel-Web Spider: Known for its aggressive nature and powerful venom, this spider is dangerous and should be handled with extreme caution.

Huntsman Spider: While large, these spiders are relatively harmless. However, their size and frequent sightings can still be unsettling to homeowners.

Addressing spider infestations involves more than just killing visible spiders. Effective spider control solutions are comprehensive, focusing on eliminating food sources, controlling spider breeding grounds, and ensuring that spiders cannot easily enter the home.

Proven Techniques for Spider Control

Successful spider control methods aim to prevent spiders from entering your home, as well as eliminating any existing populations. Some commonly used techniques include:

Chemical Sprays: Targeted sprays around entry points, cracks, and crevices deter spiders from making their way indoors. These treatments are effective in controlling spider populations and preventing new infestations.

Regular Cleaning: Removing spider webs and reducing clutter in and around the home minimizes potential hiding spots for spiders. This routine maintenance is crucial in managing spider activity effectively.

Sealing Entry Points: Spiders often enter homes through gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and foundations. Sealing these entry points is an important step in spider control and can also help keep other pests out.

Outdoor Lighting Management: Spiders are attracted to lights because they attract other insects. Reducing outdoor lighting or using yellow, insect-repellent bulbs can help minimize spider presence around the home.

Professional pest control services provide additional options for spider control Gold Coast residents. Expert assessment of the type of infestation, along with advanced treatment methods, can effectively address spider issues and prevent them from returning.

Benefits of Professional Pest Control for Gold Coast Homes

While DIY solutions are available, hiring professional pest control services for termites and spiders offers several advantages.

What Attracts Termites to Your Home and How to Avoid It

Termites are silent destroyers, often causing significant damage to homes before homeowners even realize they’re there. Understanding what attracts termites to your property can help you take preventative measures to protect your home. In this article, we’ll explore the primary reasons termites are drawn to homes and offer practical tips to avoid inviting these destructive pests inside.

For more information or to consult professionals, please visit Acme Pest Management.

1. Moisture: A Magnet for Termites

Why It Attracts Termites:Termites thrive in moist environments, as they need a steady water source to survive and build their colonies. Subterranean termites, the most common type in the United States, are especially drawn to moisture because they live underground and rely on damp conditions.

How to Avoid It:

Fix Leaks Promptly: Leaky faucets, pipes, and gutters create moisture-rich areas that attract termites. Regularly inspect and repair any leaks.

Improve Drainage Around Your Home: Ensure your yard slopes away from your foundation, preventing water from pooling near your home.

Use Dehumidifiers and Ventilation: In areas like basements or crawl spaces, using dehumidifiers and ensuring proper ventilation can help reduce moisture.

Clean Gutters Regularly: Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow and seep into your home’s foundation, creating ideal conditions for termites.

2. Wood-to-Ground Contact

Why It Attracts Termites:Termites feed on cellulose, which is found in wood. When wood is in direct contact with the ground, it provides easy access for termites to start feeding. Wooden structures like decks, porches, and even mulch near your foundation create pathways for termites to enter your home.

How to Avoid It:

Keep Wooden Structures Elevated: Ensure that wooden parts of your home, like decks and porches, are raised above the ground with concrete or metal supports.

Limit Mulch Usage Near the Foundation: While mulch is great for gardening, it retains moisture and can attract termites. Consider using alternatives like gravel near your home’s foundation or keeping mulch several inches away from the base.

Use Treated Wood: If you’re building a deck or fence, use pressure-treated or termite-resistant wood to discourage termites.

3. Cracks in Your Foundation and Exterior Walls

Why It Attracts Termites:Tiny cracks or gaps in your home’s foundation, walls, or windows can serve as entry points for termites. Subterranean termites use mud tubes to travel through cracks and gain access to food sources, while drywood termites can directly invade your walls.

How to Avoid It:

Seal Cracks and Gaps: Regularly inspect your home for any cracks or openings and seal them with a durable caulk or sealant.

Install Screens on Vents and Windows: Use screens to cover vents, windows, and doors to prevent termites and other pests from entering.

Use Termite Barriers in New Construction: If you’re building a new home, ask about installing a termite barrier in the foundation to keep termites from finding entry points.

4. Dead Wood and Yard Debris

Why It Attracts Termites:Wood piles, dead trees, and other yard debris provide food sources for termites, increasing the likelihood of an infestation. If these are left near your home, termites may eventually migrate indoors in search of additional food.

How to Avoid It:

Store Firewood Away from the Home: Keep firewood, lumber, and other wooden materials at least 20 feet from your home. Elevate these piles to reduce direct ground contact.

Clear Yard Debris Regularly: Remove dead branches, tree stumps, and old wood structures that could serve as food sources for termites.

Trim Trees and Bushes: Ensure that trees, shrubs, and plants do not touch the exterior of your home, as these can create “bridges” for termites to access your house.

5. Clogged Gutters

Why It Attracts Termites:Gutters that are filled with leaves and debris retain moisture, creating a damp environment along your roofline and walls. This moisture can eventually penetrate the structure, providing termites with an easy source of water.

How to Avoid It:

Clean Gutters Regularly: Clear leaves, sticks, and debris from your gutters to ensure proper water drainage.

Use Gutter Guards: Gutter guards prevent debris buildup, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and keeping water flowing away from your home.

Inspect Downspouts: Ensure that downspouts are directed away from your foundation to prevent water from pooling around the base of your home.

6. Unsealed Wooden Surfaces

Why It Attracts Termites:Unsealed wooden surfaces, like untreated decks, window frames, or door frames, are highly susceptible to moisture absorption, which can attract termites over time.

How to Avoid It:

Seal Wood with Termite-Resistant Coatings: Applying a sealant to wooden surfaces can make them less appealing to termites and help prevent moisture absorption.

Use Paint or Varnish: Regularly painting or varnishing exposed wood surfaces protects against weathering and moisture buildup.

Consider Termite-Resistant Building Materials: When possible, use termite-resistant materials like composite wood, treated lumber, or metal for construction projects.

7. Warm and Humid Environments

Why It Attracts Termites:Termites thrive in warm, humid environments. Homes in regions with high humidity and warm temperatures are naturally more attractive to termites.

How to Avoid It:

Use Ventilation and Dehumidifiers Indoors: Proper ventilation in areas like attics, basements, and crawl spaces helps regulate humidity levels.

Install Vapor Barriers: Placing vapor barriers in crawl spaces can prevent moisture buildup, reducing the risk of termite infestations.

Maintain a Stable Indoor Climate: Use fans, air conditioning, and other methods to keep your home’s humidity at a manageable level, especially in vulnerable areas.

Conclusion

Understanding what attracts termites to your home is the first step in keeping them at bay. By managing moisture, limiting wood-to-ground contact, sealing entry points, and keeping your property clear of debris, you can greatly reduce the chances of a termite infestation. Preventive measures are essential, as termite damage can be costly and extensive if left unchecked.If you suspect a termite problem or want professional advice on how to termite-proof your property, don’t hesitate to contact the experts at Acme Pest Management.
