    Q
    How many sq ft does one gal of Bor-Ram cover?
    A
    Bor-Ram has actually been discontinued by the manufacturer, but per the product label one gallon of BOR-RAM 1:1 solution should cover 400 square feet of treated surface area.
    As an alternative you should use Bora-Care which is the same product with the same active ingredient and label.

    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 granule baits such as our Extinguish Plus Fire Ant bait.

    Q
    Can Bor-Ram be applied to a sub floor (under carpet) before installing a laminate floor to prevent termites?
    A
    Yes, Bor-Ram can be applied to any type of wood including the subfloor as long as the wood has not been painted, stained, or sealed and it is raw wood.  There will be no issues with covering the subfloor with laminate after the Bor-Ram has had time to dry which is usually only 24 hours. Bor-Ram has been discontinued by the manufacturer, so we recommend that you use Bora-Care. Bora-Care is also a borate product that is used for wood treatments against wood destroying insects.

    Q
    Is Bor-Ram effective against the wood wasp?
    I recently built a wooden house on the beach. I am looking for a product that will immunize the whole house, so I do not have to worry about any pests. I would like to know if this product is also effective against the wood wasp since it is not mentioned in the advertisement.
    A
    Bor-Ram has not been tested for wood wasps, so we can not say definitively if it work to kill them. We will say that in almost every case the wood wasps were already in the wood when it was used to build the structure. Once the larva matures and emerges, the new adults will not re-infest the wood. Wood wasps cause only minor cosmetic damage and are not a threat to the soundness of a structure. In homes where infested lumber has been used, usually only a small number of wasps emerge (less than 10) and they usually die soon after because conditions are not favorable inside a home for their survival. There is not a product that will stop your home from ever getting any pests in the future. Using Bor-Ram will protect the wood in your home from certain types of termites, carpenter ants, certain types of wood destroying beetles, fungi (rot) and  algae. Other pests that do not infest wood or wood products would not be effected by the Bor-Ram.
