Customer Reviews for Bora-Care

We had a fairly bad infestation in 3600 SF of oak we have been air drying. We applied a 1:1 mix on both surfaces. After about a week we started seeing powder post beetle powder in a few places. We are going to give those locations another applications and see how well it workes.

I can only comment on the application of this product since I just applied it. The stuff is like pure cornsyrup in consistency but actually is quite easy to use - definitley use HOT water to mix and use a painters aggitator and drill. Once mixed it is easily sprayed on the house but stays very sticky. Stain is easily applied over this once dry. Easy to clean up with water but stays sticky on wahtever is gets on.

Sprayed the cabin and the carpenter bees are gone! So are the dirt (mud) daubers and wasps that were getting underneath the metal roof. Very impressed!

Incredibly easy to use but I would suggest adding the blue dye to make it easier to see what you have sprayed. I did not. The mixing wand for use with cordless drill was key. Super fast and efficient. I used this product as a preconstruction termiticide for the floor joists during a remodel and sprayed onto the adjoining concrete as well.

Low toxicity. Dry wood termites. I cut holes in my dry wall and found them. Vacuumed all their poop and removed insulation. Sprayed down all the wood. Also sprayed perimeter of house base and roof. Really happy with money I saved.

The 5 stars are for the ease of ordering and on time delivery. As well as the correct chemical being delivered in an appropriate container. For me this was a preventative buy. Doing a full re-model of my bathroom and wanted to treat the exposed wood before it got covered up again. Crossing fingers that when/if pests bite into the wood they go down.

This product came highly recommend by several individuals. Bora-Care was used to treat a fungus on wood pilings. I have tried other products, but Bora-Care has been the most effective.

I would recommend you read and follow instructions, works MUCH better with hot water, mix it up and use it soon thereafter. Do not let it sit for days, after use run some clean hot water through the sprayer and you will have no issues.

Boracare is a great product for treating old barn wood if you plan to use it in your home. Plus a great deterrent for ants and termites to spray around the outdoors of your home. Highly Recommend!

I was so pleased to purchase Bora-Care from DoMyOwn. They have an awesome information section on the site that helped answer any questions that I had regarding how much product I needed to purchase and how to apply it. Mixing and applying the Bora-Care was simple thanks to the instructions. I would definitely recommend this company and their product.

Bora Care was $15 cheaper on your site than Amazon and also had free delivery. Product arrived quickly. This stuff is amazing! We sprayed it on our deck and the carpenter bees won't land on it! We have a large deck and they were destroying it! The bees would hover over the wood for about a week but not land and now they don't even come near the deck. Bora Care saved our deck!

We bought the Bora Care product after extensive research on termite and carpenter ant eradication and prevention. Following the instructions, we sprayed in the entire attic before re-insulating. Both mixing and spraying was easy. Just as an FYI, product consistency is like honey and must be mixed well with an electric paddle. Also, there is a slight residue that takes a little longer to dry than anticipated. Product can be wiped off with a damp cloth if it gets on items or surfaces that you do not want to treat. So far, we are very happy with this product although on the pricey side.

I use very hot water to mix to the dilution required and Bore-Care dissolves much more easily. Definitely rinse out your sprayer with fresh water prior to storage or the 1:1 will soon crystallize inside your sprayer wand, hose and tank.

Went on well, somewhat sticky so be sure to cover everything not intended to be sprayed. Have a 24x36 barn that the ceiling joists needed treated. 2 gallons was just enough. So far so good

Excellent product. Easy to apply with a simple 10-20$ sprayer from Home Depot. It is very thick so i mix it up well. Turn sprayer upside down to blow out with air if it gets a little clogged and shake it up. For the coverage this can do, bug companies charge about 300-800$. I bought two, sprayed a 3 story house framing and decking when replacing stucco damage. Quotes were 1k. I save big bucks!! This stuff is sticky just don't lick it or snort it and you're good.

The product was easy to mix and the green marker made it very easy to see where I've been, I will custom homes and this is a good option rather than using harsh pesticides and termite spray underneath slabs which come up through cracks into the living space. We spray around the exterior of the houseWith chemical spray and less on all wood framing.

Had a maple log cut into 2 1/2 inch thick slabs for woodworking. Two of the slabs had termites near one end. Mixed Bora-Care with hot water, 50/50, and did a drench spray (until runoff) on all sides with a hand-held sprayer. Termites didn't stand a chance. No odor or discoloration of wood. Also works on powder post beetles. Bora-Care is thick like syrup so hot water is a must. Highly recommend and would use again.

The instruction were great for how to mix and spray. I had 2 areas of exposed beams in my garage. After one application, all powder post beetle activity (sawdust on floor) was gone. Thanks.

I recently purchased the BoraCare product and from start to finish I had an excellent experience! Service, knowledge of product, delivery, product...Everything was excellent! I noticed a difference in bore bees almost immediately. I would definitely recommend and use this company again for any of my home pest control needs!
