Default TT - tonight - Termites just use DIPELŪ

Thanks for posting that information. I had not heard of using DIPEL for
that purpose previously, but it would certainly be more safe than some of
the sprays that are used for killing / preventing white ants. I have used
DIPEL for control of caterpillars on my vegetable garden and it is very easy
to apply and is a very useful product.

One other thing which you may have heard of and which may work is "bug
juice" whereby you collect some of the invading insect pest and put them in
a (preferably) old vitamiser or blender and add some water, blend the lot
and make this bug juice. The theory behind this is that there are natural
harmful pathogens present in all the bugs and in this concentrated form if
sprayed in the areas where you want to get rid of the bugs, the pathogens
soon spread through the entire colony, killing
them off.

Cheers

DIPELŪ is meant for caterpillars yet it also works ruthlessly with
termites plus almost as well for many species of pest ants.

The active agent is a bacteria which spreads though the entire termite
colony & also to nearby connected colonies so even your neighbours will
benefit.

Best of all, No Nasty Poisons.
