Effective Termite Control Using Common Household Ingredients
Petroleum jelly, commonly known as Vaseline, can be used as a non-toxic solution to repel termites from your home. By creating a slippery and unpleasant barrier, petroleum jelly discourages termites from crawling through it. It is effective in protecting wooden furniture and can be applied to block the pathways termites use to enter your home. Aloe vera may also serve as an alternative repellent. Both substances are safe for use around the house but should be kept away from pets and children.
