There are several ways to kill termites in plywood, including using borate treatments, insecticides, heat treatments and fumigation. Borate treatments involve applying a solution of boric acid or borax to the wood, which will penetrate deep into the wood and kill the termites.
Insecticides such as pyrethroids, organophosphates, and carbamates can be used as well, and are applied to the wood surface to kill the termites. For heat treatments, the wood is heated to over 140 degrees Fahrenheit for an extended period of time, which will kill the termites. Fumigation is another option and involves sealing off a room that contains the infested wood and releasing a gas that will kill the termites.
