Charles from Metairie, La writes
No Bora-Care, like any other borate product, cannot be used on trees or plants. It is for cut lumber only. Borates will kill any living plant, shrub, grass or tree. Termites do not attack live, healthy trees. If you have termites in a tree you would need to treat the nest directly by drilling holes into the dead parts of the tree where the colony is infested. This can be done with something like Dominion 2L. Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Dominion or or Termidor would be the best product to use for that. Termidor is the top product and can last 10 years in the soil, whereas Dominion will only last 5-7 years. It is only labeled to be used adjacent to the structure, though.
