Termites problem on mango

Posted by rosessecretgarden (My Page) on

Hey all

One of my friend has just shifted to a new home. Although he has got no maintained garden in the new house but there is a lonely mango tree that is almost 10 feet.
Its leaves are just too good to see and it looks healthy but the it has a little termite problem. Can anyone please tell what's the best way to get rid of termites from mango plants?

Neighbors are telling the tree gives fruit but if the termite problem continues then that can be dangerous for the tall Guy

So please help soon...Termites raising day by day

Termites are interested in dead wood, not live plants. So I'd like to see images, if at all possible.

Let's make certain of which critters are there before we gang up on them.

oh OKay!
Actually the tree is in my friend's home and he lives quite far from here. I have sent message to him and as soon as i get a picture of that wood, i will upload here for you.
In any case thanks for your consideration. I will be seeking your help later on.

When I see termite problems on the house I spray WD-40. Cant recommend it for a tree though. I just don't know effects on the tree.
