I like planting flowers and trees in the garden but I realised I have to be very mindful. Without proper care, termites can grow and not only destroy my plants, they can also destroy the walls. I had a coconut tree in my yard and it was fully damaged by termites. I had to make some arrangements as soon as I saw I had termites in my yard. I removed the termites successfully, so I will share with you how to treat termites in yard.

How to control termites in lawn?

 

Well, after experimenting with different types of DIY ideas, I have realised that the best way to get rid of termites is to apply boric acid.

 

Boric acid is a processed power made up of natural mineral boron. Boric acid poisonous to termites as it messes up their ability to absorb nutrients, therefore termites die.

  How to use boric acid to get rid of termites?  

Since boric acid comes in a powder you can make a mixture out of it. You can dilute 1 teaspoon boric acid with a cup of water. Spray the mixture around the yard where you suspect  termites. 

 

Keep on spraying boric acid every three to five days until you find termites running around your yard. Dry to water your plants more during the process since boric acid can dry out and kill plants as well.

 

As a prevention measure, you can also plant marigold, mint, vetiver grass. These are some natural termite yard treatments. Termites hate the smell of these plants, so they will never appear near these plants. And ensure your lawn gets enough sunlight. Termites hate sunlight so they will  never hover around any place that has ample sunlight.
