What do you guys do to naturally get rid of the termites?

[Guest]

I have just found out one of my raised garden beds have termites. What do you guys do to naturally get rid of them?

Lady bugs.
Get more than you think you need.

Dust with Diamecious earth. Food grade.

When the wood holds continuous moisture and begins to rot, termites come. Time to rebuild. At this point, even if the termites don't get to it,the rot will.

I made an above ground garden when I lived close to the gulf and it collected the termites. I had problems that first year but I replaced the wood with cinder blocks. I’ve been using diatomaceous earth forever but it doesn’t work when it’s in the dirt or gets wet. It works when it dries out but right next to the Gulf means humidity all day every day.

Use treated wood ...don't kill carpenter ants...they eat them.
