Rainy Season Comes, Get Ready for War With Termites

The rainy season is not only a sign of impending floods. Wet weather usually also brings along wild animals to "take shelter" and look for warm locations in your home, including termites. Termites "work" all day, every day of the week eating wood in your home. However, termites are slow eaters. While the termites are slowly eating away at your house, get rid of them in your house right away!

 

1. Eliminating Directly From the Source

 

Getting rid of termites at home is by eliminating their food sources directly. Make sure the wood in your home is not damp. The reason is, the smell of damp wood will attract termites. In addition, keep the wood in your house out of contact with the ground.

 

2. Using Termite Control

 

You can use thermicidal chemicals. You only need to spray it on the nests and wood that has been attacked by termites. These chemicals are very potent, but also have the potential to be detrimental to your health. So, you should first use other options before using it.

 

3. Use Cigarette Picks

 

Use cigarette butts. Soak 10 cigarette butts in two glasses of water and half a tablespoon of salt. Leave the solution overnight. After that, filter the solution and put it in an atomizer. Spray it on the wood that is attacked by termites.

 

4. Use of Papaya and Betel Leaves

 

Use papaya leaves and betel leaves. Put the papaya and betel leaves in a blender with a ratio of 2: 1, two for papaya leaves and one for betel leaves. Add enough water. Once soft, filter the water. Add filtered water with 70 percent alcohol in a ratio of 2: 3. Put it in a sprayer, then spray it on the part of the wood that is affected by termites. Good luck!
