⭐ Best Answer:

Let the poles or the splits dry thoroughly under the sun. Then soak them in the sea for 2 months. The dry poles and splits easily absorb all the salt of the sea. This sea-water treatment gives the bamboos at least 50 years of protection from termites, borers and fungi. It’s widely used in Asia and also used for wood treatment. Very safe and natural, very effective and cheap and truly long-lasting. Good luck.
