Termite bait container. Are they all around the house?

I came to a stop sign and a skanky tweaker chick in a tube top climbed out of the brush and propositioned me. She looked like she didn't have any teeth so I counted that as a plus.

On the sides and back yard, however they look empty and old.

I agree - they are likely Termite traps. I'd call a local pest control company and have a "standard" inspection - as they would do on a new home purchase. If that was done when you bought it and they didn't at least mention those, I'd call somebody else. I'd avoid the big national names...they tend to be big on pushy sales and the local techs may or may not (more often not) know what they are doing.

The inspector did not mention it. Good advice on getting someone out to look at the house.
