Brilio.net - Home furnishings are often made of wood because they are durable, look good, and are strong. Some popular types of wood for furniture are teak, mahogany, and trembesi.
Although strong, wooden furniture needs special care to keep it durable. One of the main problems is termite attacks. These insects can come unnoticed and damage wooden furniture by slowly eating away at it.
Wooden doors and windows are most often attacked by termites because they are located at the front of the house. Many people buy anti-termite drugs to protect these wooden furniture. However, ordinary household materials can also be used to repel termites.
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 brilio.net from YouTube IDE KREATIF CHANNEL on Tuesday (15/4).
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.
