Termite species have been around for more than 250 million years thus giving them time to evolve and adapt to different types of environment. However, there is good news here. Termites are easy to dispose of once you find out where their nests are located.
Termite Extermination Made Easy
Now, finding the source of termites might be the problem and this could take some time, but once you’re successful in this step, you’ll be on your way to a termite-free environment for your family. If you're the type of person that thrives in DIY settings, then give these all-natural methods below a try for termite control.
Orange Oil
This particular oil has been tested and proven to kill termites, specifically the ones that like to feed on wood. Orange oil is exaggeratingly affordable and it is all-natural, so any hazardous components shouldn’t be a problem for the inhabitants of the house. Orange oil is extracted from orange peels which are known to be made of limonene; a component of orange that is deadly for insects such as termites.
Once these creatures come into direct contact with orange oil, their exoskeletons immediately start to dissolve and fracture, which causes them to lose moisture and the bodily nutrients they need to live. Moreover, you can also use this oil as a deterrent to avoid further build-up of termites in your homes as this oil can also disrupt termites’ abilities to communicate with each other. If you can, we advise you to spray in full length to the termite-infested areas and as much as possible, as close their nests.
Vinegar
While Vinegar can also be used in eliminating other pests in homes, you can use this product specifically to get rid of termites. Vinegar contains a high level of acid and it also gives off a very strong tangy smell which small insects such as Termites tend to stray away from; the more reason we should be using this against them.
All you have to do is mix vinegar with an equal amount of water (if you want, you can also squeeze in some lemons or orange juice to the mixture) and then simply use the solution as a spray in the termite-infested areas in your house. You can use this directly to the termites, especially to their nests.
