Disclaimer: While these home remedies can help with minor infestations, severe termite problems often require professional pest control.
1)Sunlight Exposure: Expose infested furniture or wood to direct sunlight for several hours. This can dehydrate and kill termites.
2)Cardboard Trap: Create a cardboard trap baited with food to attract termites. Once infested, dispose of the cardboard in direct sunlight.
3)Boric Acid: Sprinkle boric acid in termite-infested areas. This powder is toxic to termites and can eliminate them over time.
4)Maintain Distance: Ensure there’s a gap between soil and wood to prevent termites from accessing wooden structures.
5)Neem Oil: Mix neem oil with water and spray on infested areas. Neem oil has insecticidal properties that can repel termites.
6)Clove Oil: Apply clove oil to termite-affected areas. The strong odor can deter termites.
7)Orange Oil: Similar to clove oil, orange oil can repel termites with its strong scent.
8)White Vinegar: Mix white vinegar with water and spray on infested areas. The acidic nature can kill termites.
9)Diatomaceous Earth: Sprinkle diatomaceous earth in infested areas. It creates tiny cuts on termites, leading to dehydration and death.
10)Salt: Sprinkle salt on termite-infested areas. Salt dehydrates termites, leading to their demise.
