Termites Prevention – Do it Yourself Methods
WouterWhen you are dealing with termites, there are two options available. You can do it yourself or you can hire a professional. The decision is up to you, but if you choose to do it yourself, it is important to remember that do it yourself methods can only work for a limited time.
One option is to trap the termites and then destroy them. This will stop them from crawling to your cardboard or other materials. You can also apply insecticides or essential oils to the infested areas. This will kill the termites but won’t remove the entire colony.
Another option is to sprinkle a solution of boric acid on the infested area. It is usually sold in powder form, but you can mix it with water to make a solution. The boric acid will then kill the termites by dehydrating them.
You can buy these products at a specialty store or online. If you decide to use them, you’ll need to read the instructions on the label carefully. You should not use these insecticides near children or pets.
You can also kill the termites slowly by sprinkling them with essential oils. You can also get rid of termites by burning cardboard.
Using nematodes is another great way to prevent termites. These tiny worms are parasites that attack termites and other insects. They can be purchased at specialty stores or online. You can also release them into the infested area.
