I normally use to sprinkle pest control to my vegetables daily to get rid of the pest from it and due to this all my vegetables and fruits grow nicely.<br /><a href="http://ubugmepestcontrol.com/" rel="nofollow">Pest Control Services in Miami</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-71784934289231811482013-09-02T09:02:18.419+10:002013-09-02T09:02:18.419+10:00Tania, sorry to take so long getting back to you b...Tania, sorry to take so long getting back to you but Kelly's has had problems with her computer and has lost a lot of info from her hard drive. She emailed me this information this morning and perhaps it will help you. <br /><br />'Try cardboard traps. All you do is take a couple of strips of flat cardboard, wet them, and stack them on one another in an area where termites are likely to be. Termites like to feed on cardboard so this makes for an excellent spot trap. When the cardboard is infested with termites burn it and put a new one in its place. Repeat multiple times if necessary. You could also try Beneficial Nematodes that are a small unsegmented worm species that are a natural parasite to garden pests including termites you should be able to buy online'. <br /><br />Last but not least try Boric Acid is comes in a crystal form and you can use it dry or mix it into a spray it kills the termites by basically shutting down the nervous system and the termite either starves to death dies of dehydration or both, not very pleasant if you’re a termite but effective. <br /><br /> However, as with anything it should be kept out of reach of children and only use in locations where it will not come into contact with people and other animals. When you have pest such as termites it is best to find the nest and kill the queen.<br /><br />Tania, I hope this helps.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-38896117969582487322013-08-26T20:39:52.050+10:002013-08-26T20:39:52.050+10:00Tania, I don't know if the All Round Insectici...Tania, I don't know if the All Round Insecticide would help as Kelly has written in her notes that it is used for all chewing pests. <br /><br />I have to email her about something so I will ask her if she knows. She does a lot of reading about gardening so I am sure she would know. There have been a lot of 'pageviews' for this topic so I might write out the rest of her notes tomorrow.

I have saved them for future reference. I don't have a lot of trouble with pests, must be due to the dry climate. <br /><br />We don't have snails or slugs, but white ants (termites) are a big problem though. I noticed they have been munching on the base of my mandarin tree today. Any hints for controlling them would be very much appreciated :)<br /><br />Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-3133470023989033332013-08-25T17:25:19.265+10:002013-08-25T17:25:19.265+10:00Glad it was worthwhile, Barb!

First thing I do in the morning is putting back sometimes up to eleven of them in the garden...<br />Would love to recipe for an eco / purse friendly, homemade solution.<br />Thanks in advance.<br />Cheers!<br /><br />Jeanneke.<br />Jeannekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299956505489827810noreply@blogger.com
