What is a Natural insecticide for Termites in the garden?



I am looking for preferably Natural remedies for Termites and Ants in the garden. Or at least something that wont be toxic to humans when the vegetables are ready to harvest.
Sorry Adrienne--- that link takes me to some crappy Money making Scheme site!


Garden best answer:

Answer by Lar
unless the ants are fire ants, neither termite or ant will be an issue to the garden...with the termites, what ever you may use will probably stop the termites where you are seeing them, but may just cause them to feed elsewhere nearby, maybe the house

Vapourer, Orgyia antique, male.


I had to take a bit of a break from mothing when I went away. This session on my return wasn't a particularly good one, with very few moths seen and heavy rain arriving in the early hours.

An unexpected moth was a Waved Umber. This is one I've only ever seen before the end of May/early June, so suggests a second generation.
