News India Live, Digital Desk: Has the termites camped in your house furniture, wooden doors or walls? If yes, it is really a matter of concern! Despite being small, the termite can make your house hollow inside and can cause you heavy damage. These are called ‘silent enemies’ because they eat wood without any sound and by the time we come to know, there has been a lot of damage.

But don’t panic! If the problem of termites is in the initial stages, then you can get rid of them by adopting some easy and effective home remedies. Let’s know 5 such amazing remedies, which will help in making your house termit free:

1. Neem Oil: Natural Safety Shield
Neem oil acts like a natural enemy for termites. It has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that help eliminate termites.

• How to use: Fill neem oil in a spray bottle and spray directly to places where there is an outbreak of termites. You can also put it in termites present in wooden furniture. By doing this regularly, termites will gradually end. This method is safe and environmentally friendly.

2. Kerosene (kerosene): effective but carefully
Keep oil is very effective in killing termites, as its strong odor and chemical properties are fatal for termites.

• How to use: Soak a clean cloth in kerosene and wipe it thoroughly on a termitary area (such as the corners or walls of the furniture). You can also use it by filling it in a spray bottle, but very carefully, as it is flammable.

• Precautions: Keep it away from children and pets. The air circulation in the room should be good while using it.

3. Salt Water: Cheap and effective remedy
This is the easiest and cheapest home remedy. Salt water kills the termites by dehydrate (lack of water).

• How to use: Dissolve a good amount of salt in a cup of water. Fill this solution in a spray bottle and spray on termites affected areas. You can also put it in termite bills or holes. Repeat it regularly.

4. Aloe vera gel: Treatment of termites along with skin
Aloe vera is useful not only for the skin, but also in extinguishing termites. It contains some compounds that termites do not like.

• How to use: Remove the gel from fresh aloe vera leaves and apply it directly to termites. You can also use it by making a paste. It is a natural and safe option.

5. Red Chili Powder: Tart
The pungent smell of red chili and its pungency can disturb the termites and drive them away.

• How to use: Sprinkle a little red chili powder in termites affected areas, especially in the holes from which termites are coming out. You can also make a paste by mixing it a little water. Termites run away from this smell.

Some more things:

• Regular check: Keep checking your furniture and walls regularly so that the termite problem can be caught in the initial stages itself.

• Keep open: Place the wooden furniture in a ventilated place and show sunlight from time to time.

• Reduce moisture: Termites thrive in moist places, so do not allow moisture in the house.

• On serious problem: If the problem of termites has increased a lot and these home remedies are not working, then immediately contact a professional paste control expert.

By adopting these measures, you can save your home and valuables from the havoc of termites and enjoy a clean, safe house!
