Hello, are there any "good" products that will
help keep termites away from foundation of house?
Foundation is cinderblock.

My suggestion is to bury LARGE chunks of solid oak all along your foundation
that will give them something to eat other than your foundation. Make sure
the chunks are no smaller than 10 inches as that is the area that termites
Live breed and die in, they "never " venture further than 10" from their
place of birth. Also, make sure you remove any trace of rock or cement from
around the the chunks of oak as this is just like handing them a free meal
as they love to eat anything made from aggregate.

I suggest termite control is one job it pays to call a contractor -
pest control. Burying oak seems like a good way to provide termites
with a rest stop/food supply - though I admit I've never tried it.

Foundations crack over time. I had termites come up and eat on a
carpet tack strip - only place we found them and wouldn't have even
known they were there but they started to swarm. There were small
cracks in the foundation when we pulled up the carpet to look.
