My grandpa was a champ!

Inject the Orange Oil: Using a syringe or a similar applicator, inject the orange oil directly into the holes you drilled. Be generous with the application, ensuring that the oil reaches all parts of the termite galleries.
Seal the Holes (Optional): After applying the orange oil, you can seal the holes with wood putty or wax to prevent any air from escaping and to keep the oil concentrated inside the wood. However, this step is optional, depending on the severity of the infestation.
Repeat as Necessary: For large infestations, you may need to repeat the application every few days until you no longer see signs of termites. For smaller infestations, one or two treatments should be sufficient.
Why This Method Works So Quickly
The effectiveness of orange oil in killing termites is due to its dual action as both a contact insecticide and a fumigant. When termites are exposed to orange oil, they are unable to escape the immediate effects because the oil penetrates deeply into their hiding spots. The combination of chemical toxicity and physical suffocation ensures that the termites are eliminated within minutes of application.
Additionally, orange oil’s natural properties make it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional chemical treatments. It’s non-toxic to humans and pets, and it doesn’t leave harmful residues in your home. This means you can use it with confidence, knowing that it won’t negatively impact your health or the environment.
