BORACARE

BORACARE



BORACARE (Bora care) is a borate-based product that provides prevention and control of Termites, Carpenter Ants, Powderpost Beetles and Decay Fungi. Boracare can be used on all cellulosic materials including wood, plywood, particle board, paper, oriented strand board (OSB), cardboard, and wood composite structural components. If you are looking to kill and prevent mold, please see BORACARE with MOLD-CARE.


Active Ingredient: 40% Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate
Target pests: Wood Destroying Fungus and wood-destroying insects such as termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, etc.
Application: For powder post beetles, Boracare must be used on untreated wood. It is preferred over other treatments such as timbor in treating furniture because Boracare dries clear and will leave the furniture in its natural state. It will also absorb much further into the wood so you know the infestation is treated.
Yield: One gallon of Bora-Care will treat approximately 100 lineal feet of 2 x 4 stud wall. This includes sill plate and header. For other dimensional lumber, logs, or siding and plywood, please see the product label to the left.

 BORACARE  1 gallon(s)    $77.45
 BORACARE  2 gallon(s)    $149.90

Detailed Description
 BORACARE Label
 BORACARE Supplemental Label
 BORACARE MSDS

DESCRIPTION: BORACARE provides prevention and control of Termites, Carpenter Ants, Powderpost Beetles and Decay Fungi. Boracare can be used on all cellulosic materials including wood, plywood, particle board, paper, oriented strand board (OSB), cardboard, and wood composite structural components. Since Boracare is applied directly to the wood, it can be used in areas where environmental contamination is of concern. The active ingredient in Boracare is an inorganic salt and once in place will not decompose or volatilize out of the wood. Treatment is long lasting as long as the treated material is not exposed to rain, continuous water or ground contact. 1 gal. jug


USE:
Boracare can be sprayed, brushed or foamed onto bare wood surfaces and voids. The product cannot be fogged. Wood treated with BoraCare will appear darker than normal for a few days until the chemical dries in. Boracare will not affect the paint or staining of the wood. Wood treated with Boracare is non-toxic to humans and animals.


Pretreatments can be done IN ONE TRIP. 
No need to worry about weather delays
or pumping chemicals into the soil, crews can remain on the job site during treatment, and treatment will last for many years.


Use Bora-Care on new construction
. For termite pretreatments, Simply spray a two-foot tall continuous barrier directly to the wood using a tank sprayer or portable backpack sprayer. This includes the walls, piers, interior slab or basement walls, plumbing penetrations, pipe chases, bath traps, and any other foundation penetrations. Treating this way insures that all termite entry-points are treated.  You can also use Bora-Care as a whole-house treatment for general pest protection to prevent infestations of decay fungi and wood destroying pests such as drywood termites and destroying beetles.

Please read the label for more instructions.

Product Questions & Answers

(3 questions & answers)
Where can I purchase Bora Care, so that I can do my own pest control?
From us of course.  We sell professional products to homeowners.  www.DoMyOwnPestControl.com
Can any person buy BoraCare or do they have to have a private applicators card?
Bora-Care can be sold to any homeowner without an applicators license as long as they are using it on their own property and are not treating other peoples homes for profit. 
I have discovered a decay fungus in our crawl space under the tub and on the bottom of a nearby palm tree in our yard. I plan on using Boracare in the crawl space - can I also use it on the live palm tree without killing it?
No, BoraCare is a borate product, and borate products will kill any plant or tree life.  Unfortunately we do not carry or know of a product for trees.  I would possibly try to contact a local college or university with a arborist program or a local lawn and turf company.
