INSECT CONTROL RECIPE
Termite Remedy
A concentrated orange oil treatment can knock back a small, localized termite problem in wood — though a serious infestation still calls for a professional.
Prep: 5 minutes
Yields: about 1 cup
Organic-friendly
Ingredients
1 cup concentrated orange oil (d-limonene)
Injector or squeeze bottle with narrow tip
Instructions
1
Locate visible termite galleries or small holes in the affected wood.
2
Inject the orange oil directly into the galleries or holes using the narrow-tipped applicator.
3
Recheck the area over the following weeks and reapply if any activity continues.
Caution: This works only on small, visible, localized infestations. Widespread or structural termite damage needs a licensed pest control professional.
