Brilio.net - Wood is often the material of choice for home furnishings because it is considered durable, elegant, and sturdy. Types of wood often used for home furnishings include teak, mahogany, trembesi, and others.
However, despite being known to be sturdy, wooden furniture requires extra care to last. Wood often invites insects such as termites. These animals usually come without permission, so wooden furniture can be damaged by being eaten by termites.
The furniture that is most often targeted by termites is wooden windows and doors, because they are located at the front of the house. To prevent wooden windows and doors from being eaten by termites, many people choose to buy special anti-termite drugs from the market. However, you can also use materials available at home.
As practiced by a man on the YouTube account IDE KREATIF CHANNEL, he only needs two kitchen ingredients to keep his wooden furniture from being eaten by termites. Curious about his trick to overcome termites?
"If you have termites in your house, here I want to give you a recipe on how to get rid of them using simple ingredients, you definitely have them in your house," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube IDE KREATIF CHANNEL on Saturday (14/9).
First, prepare a glass and fill it with MSG and salt, 1 tablespoon each. Reported from mast-producing-trees.org, salt and MSG can work to disrupt the balance of termite metabolism. That's why after being given these two kitchen spices, the termites will slowly run away or even die.

After preparing salt and MSG, dissolve both of these ingredients with enough water. Then, transfer the solution into a spray bottle or any spray available at home. Once done, spray it directly onto wooden furniture that has termites in it.
"For example, if there are nails, don't spray them, okay," added the owner of the YouTube account IDE KREATIF CHANNEL.
As reported by vedantu.com, liquids containing salt should not be applied to metal items, as they can cause rust to appear.
