Know How to Get Rid of Termites Easily

Termites are dangerous wood-eating insects that can destroy all your wooden assets including your doors, windows, wooden cupboards, frames and furniture items within a few weeks to months if left unchecked. They can cause harm to your entire building and valuable properties, so you need to get rid of termites completely.

Here are a few good ways to get rid of harmful termites yourself without calling a professional pest control service.

Apply Boric Acid

Boric acid is cheap yet very effective in killing termites and other pests. Boric acid attracts termites and as soon as a termite ingests boric acid, it dies. Therefore, you need to spray boric acid all over the places where termites can live, especially wooden elements in your house.

Purchase Termite-control Products

There are a number of pesticides (mostly in powder form) available in stores that can eliminate pests like termites and ants. You can mix those pesticides in water or any other recommended liquid, and spray on the infected parts to kill the termites. Handle those pesticides carefully as they are pure chemicals that may cause harm to you as well. Read the labeling and instructions before use, and always buy pesticides and termite-control products from a trusted brand.

There, however, is a problem in using termite-control pesticides as the liquid or spray doesn’t go deep into the holes where termite larvae could be present. If you fail to reach them, they’re safe and will be able to grow and damage your wooden properties.
