If so how can I stop them
I have termites, they eat dead wood, dry is harmful to them. Never heard of or seen them attacking anything alive, I would be more concerned of them getting in the home,,,
Remove any compost or ground cover so the surface can dry
Food grade DE may help as it is said to kill exoskeletons, will not harm the earth worms, make sure its food grade DE!
Water soluble powdered sulfur may also help, wont kill them but they will not like it
Attack them and smash as many as you can
let the chickens in
loud rock and roll is said to irritate them to the point they eat themselves to death
Got pictures?
I am also an Okie, luv the new freedom, even if it is taxed!

The termites live in the soil and eat the roots off and go inside the stalk from underground. Have to have something to drench the rootball with that won't kill the plant or contaminate the flowers.

I have read and Googled til my eyes hurt but can't find a answer. Need something I can drench rootball with that won't kill the plants or poison the flowers. Yes the new freedom is great. You think recreational will get on the ballot in 2020 ?

Never knew the rock'n'roll info...my metal jams must've worked their magic for me throughout this season! 🤘😋.
As for the termite issue, I can't say that I've read up on it before. Did a few searches and people suggested DE (Diatomaceous Earth) as Rwise has already mentioned. So a second for that, as well as some pictures.
