Termites attacking the lawn

We have a small lawn in our backyard which is under attack by termites. They are feasting on the lawn little by little. Is there any natural methods to get rid of them. I am not too found of chemical eradication. Please help.

    Hi there. Termites are extremely rare in the UK so are you somewhere else? Do you mean ants by any chance? If is in ants and you wish to get rid of them then chemical control is probably your only choice.

    The alternative to chemical control for ants is to use nematodes https://www.nematodesdirect.co.uk/9-no-ants-nematodes

    However, if as we suspect you are in the US and the problem is from termites, there are nematodes which will deal with them too http://www.arbico-organics.com/category/pest-solver-guide-termites 

    I'm sure other suppliers and brands are available image
