Well, I am going to grow C. Militaris on supplemented rice...I hope.

I would love to be able to use a safe and clean way of killing termites
and their ilk.

Good luck,

JD

Well I bitched to the landlady awhile back, and when I came home she had sprayed everything with poison. I think she likes having me here. So now I dont have the problem. Though I do expect them to come back. While Im glad they are gone (for now), I was really excited to try the whole Borax bit. So when I see them again, Ill try it. I do have a C. Militaris wedge, maybe I should put that in some rice, in preparation for when they come back, again.

Most species of parasitic fungi have only one or two insect hosts they'll use.  I've not seen a broad-based fungal insect killer.

Diatomaceous earth.

Simply sprinkle it around and on whatever your trying to get termites to stay away from.

Borax/sugar syrup works like a charm for ants who will eat it and take it back to their nests.
