Termite Mound Pictures

Above:  1" angle iron base with 1/4" steel plate for the back.  #4 rebar 12" off center bent into a shape of a worn down termite mound.  Left:  1" in diameter stainless steel pipe cut into 14" segments with standard threading in the inside edge.  A 1" PVC coupling is attatched to this threading.  PVC piece with end cap contains the treat.

Attatched wire mesh onto the inside area of rebar.  Spaced approximately 1" from rebar.  Cut holes in mesh where the feeding tubes are to be placed.

Two applications of concrete was applied, each layer around 2 inches thick.  The second layer contained the pigments that colored the termite mound to a red earth tone.

Texture was accomplished by throwing handfuls of concrete and then handfuls of dirt with rocks in it on top of the fresh concrete.
