Learn what you'll need to properly mix up Boracare and see how easy it is to use if it's been prepared properly. - Jak na to + styl
Thank you for making this video and explaining the steps!! Great job and GOD BLESS!!
It will depend on how thick the wood is you're treating. Typically you'll get a good 2-4 inches of penetration but this will vary depending on the type of wood, etc. So if the wood is only 1-2 inches thick, one side is usually enough. But for thicker cuts, the more surface area you cover the better. Give us a call if you need help; toll free is in our video.
NICE ...you are a good teacher
put 1/4 to 1/2 of water first, add the product, then add the rest of the water. Works for me and makes it easier for mixing. Yes, i am an exterminator. Some products cant be premixed according to instruction though.
thanks a lot. its good for IPE (Tabebuia) as well? we just found dry wood termites in the deck outside.
If you're saying your deck is made with Tabeuia wood then yes, Boracare will work fine for controlling this problem. But if mean you have live Tabeuia with termites? Then you'll need to use another option. Something like Dominion 2L. Its good for termites and can also be used as a soil drench for plants so it enters them as a sustemic.

hi, great video.
Boracare is for preventing dry wood termites or its useful for treating active dry wood termite in the house?
Its for both. Boracare is unique in that it can penetrate through wood (several inches per treated side) so you can (in theory) get logs protected up to 8 inches round. And once the treatment cures (which takes around 72 hours), the active ingredient will kill active wood destroying organisms like termites, powderpost beetles and wood. Additionally, as long as the treatment is still active (3-5 years when used outside; at least 5-10 years when used inside), Boracare can also prevent these same pests. These qualities make Boracare one of the best products to use for both curative and preventive applications. Boracare: www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/liquid/boracare-gal
The method used to mix Boracare is the same regardless of what you're treating or how much water you intend on adding. Give us a call for more particulars. Our toll free number can be found in the video above as well as in our cart (the link to our cart is above).
Since this product is a syrup-like consistency, before adding hot water, is there any reason to be concerned with it drying "sticky" or "drippy"? (Part of my spray area is made up of open rafter beams.)
Thanks for a good video that spoke to me with the assumption that I have common sense but not industry knowledge.
+villaguna No need to worry about stickiness after the application. When used on porous wood, the product is readily absorbed and in most all cases, leaven't no sign of any kind of treatment ever being done within 1 day. And after 2-3 days, it essentially disappears deep in the wood grain leaving very little (if any) on the surface. This remaining amount will be invisible and undetectable by touch or vision. In fact the only time I've had a residue or tackiness left after the application dried for a few days is when we applied some to a finished, non absorbing surface. For example, a piece of furniture that has a varnish finish. But overhead rafters, studs, or sill plate commonly used in the home? That's typically unfinished pine which soaks up water and Boracare like a sponge. Within 1 day it will generally be gone and dry to the touch; let it sit cure for 3 days to insure it works its way into the grain and you won't even know some was ever applied.

Hello I used some old barn wood to make some stairs in my house, I found out it has power post beatles in it, The wood has had some poly put on them, Would the Boracare still work if sprayed? If not what would be another good idea?
Boracare will only absorb if applied to unfinished wood. Now if you can access a side of the wood which has no finish, you could treat that side and maybe get enough active to penetrate. Typical treatments will go a good 1-2 inches deep no problem and up to 3-4 inches. Alternatively you could use Jecta Gel applied to holes you drill. More info on how to use this option can be found here: Jecta Gel: www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/gel/jecta-gel-10-oz
At the end of the video you show how to mix the dye in and spray the area so that you can see where you applied the product, but is the dye permanent? How do you get the dye to not stain?
No odor. In fact, our line of products is comprised of products which are what we consider to be low to no odor. Gone are the days of smelly pesticides as the manufacturing companies have learned to both refine the components and eliminate unnecessary odor. And this applies to most all the concentrates we sell.
thanks for this information. very helpful. i'll kill 'em, i swear i'll kill 'em....powder post beetles that is. one thing, is it necessary to spray both the front and rear surfaces of the wood or is a spray on one surface ok? thanks again.
What do I do when the wood is already painted?
+CentralNintendo1 Unfortunately Boracare will not penetrate sealed wood (wood which is painted or recently stained). But there are other product options. First, what is the target pest? Second, what is it you want to treat? A deck, wood flooring or maybe a piece of furniture? More info on your options based on the answers to those two questions can be found in articles we have posted on line. Just go to www.bugspray.com and from the left side of the page, choose your target pest to find out what options you have. Email or call us for more help if you still have questions.
how do you do this inside the walls ??
If you go to our main website you'll learn about a "foaming" tool that can be used to "foam" walls. Basically it takes the liquid Boracare mixed solution and converts it to a heavy shaving cream like foam that will enable the treatment to permeate well inside ceiling and wall voids. Here's a link to it on our site: bugspray.com/powderpost_beetles.html#powderpost-beetle-control-using-with-foam
