To create your termite-busting spray, mix one part salt with one part warm water and pour it into a spray bottle — you need the solution to be extremely saline. Once combined, mix until the salt dissolves. Then, take a walk around your house and find the areas they're coming through. Look for holes, gaps, or any other noticeable entry point. If you find discarded wings in some areas, that's a safe bet that's a spot where the termites are congregating. Once you locate the entry points, either spray them with the solution or use a syringe to push it into the cracks or holes. If you're outside, you can also pour the water directly in front of any doorway or window.
Termites avoid the scent of salt, so they will steer clear of those areas. And if they do happen to walk into the solution, they will become dehydrated and will no longer be a nuisance. If you want to prevent termites from entering your house altogether, then you can take more extreme measures. Dig a shallow trench around your home, and fill it with rock salt and water. This will keep the pests from crossing over.
