I spent some time in the Bahamas with Paul Stamets, where he was consulting
on a serious termite problem. He's got some excellent fungal solutions to
termites using Cordyceps and other fungi. Non-toxic, they specifically
parasitize that species of termite or ant and kill it. Not sure how far into
commercialization the products are, but some googling should tell you. His
website is fungi.com
