Question from Dafna
I found out I have dry wood termite infestation in my attic. I shudder at the thought of having to fumigate, so I searched on this site but found no natural alternatives. Then I heard of orange oil, offered for example by this company www.planetorangetermite.com.
However, I am afraid it’s too good to be true. Is it effective? is it really just natural ingredients or is it the case that some horrible chemical are hiding in the 8% of the material they do not disclose in the description? the site just says XT-2000 is 92% pure d-limonene.
Thank you and your readers for any feedback/experience they can provide

You need to ask them for their Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). That will list the hazardous ingredients required to be disclosed by law. They are required by law to give it to you.
My preferred and very effective termite treatment is Timbor, which you can read about at Q&A: How do I get rid of carpenter ants?
