Common table salt is very effective in killing all kinds of termites. Fill a quart glass jar with salt and add warm water and stir until all the salt is dissolved. You now have a brine solution that is highly toxic to termites. To apply, simply fill a turkey baster with the brine mixture and inject the solution into accessible termite galleys in infestation areas. Sodium salt will naturally dehydrate pests.

Regular laundry bleach is also highly lethal to termites. Simply introduce undiluted bleach into the termite galleys in the same manner as salt. For safety, wear glasses to protect your eyes and dishwashing gloves to protect your hands. Bleach instantly chemically burns termites on contact and renders the wood in the treated area inedible for future infestations.

Most homes contain an aerosol penetrating oil product called WD-40 that has more useful uses than duct tape. WD-40 is highly effective at killing termites. It also comes with a handy applicator straw, which makes it easy to inject the solution into the galleys where the termites live. Apply with straw applicator to the termite infestation similar to the application technique explained with the basting syringe. WD-40 is primarily fish oil. It naturally kills termites by clogging their respiratory pores. Additionally, it leaves a pest-repelling residue that is non-toxic to humans.

Long before Dow Jones Chemicals or any commercial exterminator existed, everyday people like you and me were killing their own termites and other household pests. Today you can still treat your own termites naturally while saving money and avoiding potential toxic chemical poisoning of your home and family.
