DIY Termite Treatment

[C. S.]

I know this sounds crazy, but I've been told that diesel fuel will get rid of termites. I'm sure there are environmental issues with this, but I would be terrified of a fire - even years after the treatment. If the insurance company found out that diesel fuel was used, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't pay. Has anyone ever heard of this?
