Natural Termite Control:
As a house owner, you could try some natural remedies as a primary aspect of pest control.
Eliminate mulch: Eliminate mulch which is an ideal food source for the termites. It is made up of cellulose and retains moisture for longer. Eliminating them from the home can avoid attracting termites altogether.
Sunlight: Sunlight is the first enemy for termites, and they run away to escape from direct sunlight or UV rays. Trim the roots, brush, or shrubs to expose the wooden parts or keep the furniture in direct sunlight for some time.
Cardboard trap: Wet some cardboard boxes and keep them in the regions of suspected termite infestation. It is a favorite food for termites and will attract them to a specific spot. Once you can pull them to one spot and start feeding on the cardboard, you can destroy them.
Vinegar: It is also a useful material that is present in your kitchen. It will not only be of great help to clean your kitchen or bathroom shower; it can also be effective in eliminating termites. Prepare a mixture of vinegar and lemon which will be an effective solution for termite elimination. Fill the solution in the bottle and spray it around the region where there is suspected termite infestation. This solution will be acidic and will eliminate the termites as they come in contact. Ensure to keep spraying the solution regularly for some days until you don’t find any traces of their survival.
Borates: Sodium borate, which is sold as the borax powder can eliminate termites along with the primary job of washing the laundry. You may sprinkle the powder around the infested region directly or prepare a solution with water and spray it at all places.
Similar to vinegar solution make sure to apply regularly for some days to eliminate them.
Orange Oil: This is made up of d-limonene at a high percentage which is harmful to termites. Buy a good orange oil that is got from orange peels that is available easily at supermarkets or garden stores. Orange oils have a harsh effect on the exoskeletons of termites to dissolve which leads to losing moisture and include proteins gradually making them lose a life. Follow the same process of spraying the oil on the suspected termite infestation regions. Carefully look at the signs of their infestation and keep spraying them until the signs are not visible. Do not stop the spraying coming to the region until the home is free from the termites and for some more days after the infestation.
