Can you kill termites without chemicals?

I want to know if there is a way to kil termites without the use of chemicles or use of a professional. I have heard rumurs that if you cover the colony with a plastic bag and put it in the sun they will dye. is this true? is there any other way?

Answer #1

how exactly are you going to get a hold of the entire colony? they breed and spread out… you really should call a professional before your house is destroyed…

Answer #2

Whether you can kill termites without chemicals, or a professional is directly determined by what type of termite you are asking about. Do you have drywood termites? dampwood termites? formosan termites? subterranean termites?

Formosan and subterranean termites you need a professional to treat because you will not have access to the colony or the queens. Because they randomly feed and forage, there is no way to pinpoint the nest. Formosan termites are very fast at destroying homes, and need a professional.

Dampwood and drywood you have a better chance at with all natural means.

Answer #3

can I kill tremite with bleach

Answer #4

yes you can. there are many methods to kill termites without chemicals but most of them are used I organic farming. If you break their mounds and remove the queen, it will help reduce the damage and be quite efficient in killing the colony. You can also encourage predators like spiders, flies, ants and of course, aardvarks. :-) Here’s a good site for more info: http://www.howtopedia.org/en/How_to_Control_Termite_without_Chemicals

Of course if the termites are in your home, you’d better get professional help. ,
