Alamo Under Siege by Combatant Termites
Remember the bug spray!! The Alamo is once again under siege, this time by termites.
The Alamo is mostly made of stone. The termites are attacking wood beams and window frames at the biggest tourist attraction in Texas.
The siege of the Alamo lasted thirteen days and ended on March 6, 1836, with the loss of all those fighting for Texas.
Alamo officials are using a high-tech termite eradication system, which they say poses no threat to the millions who visit the site. Officials think they can head off the termite attack before it does any significant damage to the Alamo.
And, this, kids, is why you build with brick in this state....
