BOR-RAM

Bor-Ram is a new glycol-borate based termiticide, insecticide and fungicide that protects wood against termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles (powderpost beetles), and wood fungi. If you are looking for an environmentally-friendly and safe product for use around homes, or in green-building initiatives, look no further. Bor-Ram is similar to BORA-CARE, and features a new Aqueous Dispersion Technology (ADT) making it easier to pour, mix and handle. Bor-Ram soaks deep into raw wood making it essentially termite-proof. Great for log cabins, attics, wall studs, termite pre-treatments and more. Bor-Ram should be applied to raw, unsealed wood (but after the product dries a sealant or stain can be applied). Can be applied to other surfaces besides wood, including concrete. Can be mixed with Mold-Ram for mold prevention.

BOR-RAM is a borate-based technology. Borates occur naturally in the environment and exhibit low toxicity to mammals, but are lethal to termites and other wood-destroying organisms. Since these pests have not shown any ability to develop a resistance to borates, pest management professionals as well as homeowners and the environment can benefit from their use. The termites and other wood-destroying organisms are simply out of luck!

BOR-RAM is easily spray applied to wood or other construction materials and establishes a borate barrier in the food source. Termites and other wood-destroying organisms are eliminated when the borate enters their digestive systems. The borate barrier then remains in place to continue controlling labeled pests.


Features:

• Glycol-borate penetrates wood for maximum protection
• Eliminates existing and prevents future infestations of labeled target organisms
• Establishes a borate barrier so treated wood won't be breached
• Can be applied to materials other than wood
• Prevents termites from tubing across concrete
• Appropriate for indoor and outdoor application
• Aqueous Dispersion Technology (ADT) simplifies pouring, mixing and product application
• Borate-based chemistry promotes environmental stewardship
• Can be tank mixed with MOLD-RAM® for surface mold and mildew prevention

Q  Does Bor-ram kill fire ants? A No, BOR-RAM does not kill fire ants.  Bor-ram is a wood treatment product that only kills insects that eat wood, such as termites, beetles, and carpenter ants.  You should try one of our fire ant granules for fire ants such as our Extinguish Plus Fire Ant bait.

Q  Can Bor-Ram be used on live trees in the spring to prevent ambrosia beetles from killing it. Last spring a young pecan tree die because of them. A No, BOR-RAM like any other borate product cannot be used on trees or plants.  Borate's will kill any living plant, shrub, grass or tree.  You might want to look at Talstar.  It is typically used on trees for beetles.  It cannot be applied directly on the product you are harvesting but it can be applied to the bark and tree and it will not harm the tree itself.
