Yes and No.

Ozone will kill bacteria and all pathogens on the meat if used correctly. Therefore ozone is a great anti-microbial agent.

Important to remember:

anti-microbial = reducing bacteria

Sanitize = 3 log (or more) reduction in bacteria

Sterilize = removal of all bacteria and life

While ozone could potentially sterilze, it would be cost prohibitive to do so. The level of ozone in water, or air + contact time would be so high that no food plat would implement ozone for this use.

Ozone for killing termites will it work?

Probably not. Ozone is inactivated pretty quickly by many sorts of organic matter. Termite nests are very far underground, and may not have distant outlets that will let ozone gas through... However, it may destroy the chemical markers that help act as "road maps", and it may sterilize the colonies of fungus etc. that all insects depend on for survival. Worth trying...
