There are several ways of eliminating Termites from your environment, especially from your home. One of the most effective ways of killing termites is the use of baits. The old primitive way of killing termites is to tie up some rags at the top of a piece of log and dip the log in a container of a volatile oil, light it up on fire and then place it among the termites. This system can only keep away termites for some time, or can even burn out a colony but the termites will find their way back after sometime.

Some ancient countries also believe that the spraying of salt on termite colonies will kill them off. This is only for some time as well. Salt has a lethal effect on termites but it will not offer a permanent solution for effective elimination of termites. Some of the few modern ways by which you can eliminate termite colonies today is are the use of baits and treated in-ground woods. 

Drywood Termites can be classified as a group of social insects that live in dry woods. They usually act as the biological decomposers of dry woods that gather on the soil. These wood materials that are broken down will later turn to humus soil. These termites cause the most noticeable damages to abandoned woods while their destructions are only noticed when the damages have been done.
