You may laugh but this is how I have always been protected from termites.
In the vegetable garden, plant a rose bush on one end of the bed. Not one of those standard roses but a real bushy one.
The rose will attract aphids pretty quick and ants (little black ones). Not only will the ants eat the aphids, they love to eat termites.
Anyone with an ant problem and sets ant baits or spray to kill them, is only inviting termites instead.
