However, since termites are very good in creating earth tunnels and could get almost
anywhere in your house, there are other do-it-yourself termite control methods you can try to effectively kill termites once and for all. You may have to use toxic substances though in order to achieve a termite-free home. Some of the ways to generally kill termites include using termite baits that are placed around your house and gradually kill a colony by spreading small amounts of this pesticide through the worker termites, liquid termite treatment that are usually sprayed around the house to repel termites, borate termite treatment which is applied directly to the woodwork of your house, fumigation, and electrocution.
