<strong>Termite</strong> <strong>Control</strong>Plant preparationsPlant parts and plant extracts can be used effectively. These can be removedfrom the plant and used as a natural insecticide by grinding up the relevantparts, placing in boiling water, stirring and leaving to soak. The mixture is thensprayed onto the pest infested crop. Alternatively the plant part, such as toxicfruit juices, pulps or shavings can be applied directly.Grinding up plant parts to make a natural preparation for termite controlpage 11HDRA - the organic organisation
