He initially thought it was from the Termite Marketing Board, calling to commend him on his advertising!
Unfortunately, it actually was from the Association of Termite and Pest Exterminators, demanding to know, as they put it, What on earth he thought he was doing *selling* termites?'
Wilson was caught off guard for a moment but deftly turned the conversation to his advantage by talking about Green Conservation and the Web of Life.
Eventually he even sold them a couple of tins – the exterminators intend to sprinkle a few termites around the homes of prospective customers to drum up business!
Not very ethical, perhaps, but this is a fledgeling business...
