Dealing with termites

I am presently testing this recipe promoted on YouTube and other home repair site:

-Mix equal parts sugar and boric acid powder
-Place in jars or small containers near infected areas

I placed my test mixture into a small petri dish and so far, haven't seen them drawn to it like some have claimed. 

Has anyone else tried this method?

Dude, be careful, California has landlord termite protection ordinances.  With 60 days notice, you may offer to transport them to another dwelling of their choice.  Otherwise, they have the same rights to your property as you do.  You kill a terminate on the west coast and you'll land in the slammer.
