## Description

Nisus Bora Care - 1 Jug Natural Borate Termite Control for Insects NI1001 1 Gallon

Review: Bora-Care Great for Hard-to-Treat Cabinetry - After showing three different exterminators winged creatures and their "frass" inhabiting 12 linear feet of outdoor kitchen cabinets, my cabinets were diagnosed with terminal "dry wood termites". Although there was some interest by the exterminators in spot treating the cabinets, their enthusiasm was lackluster, mainly because the cabinets presented access problems to critical areas. So, I decided to take on this project myself. I discovered Bora-Care, a fairly safe product, that is labeled for inside and outside homes and other buildings for use on dry termites, as well as other wood-boring critters. So, in my case, the product would be safe to use on cabinets on a covered patio connected to the main house. Dry wood termites live in colonies inside of the wood and treatment usually requires finding and drilling into their colonies to inject the pesticide. They "kick-out" frass (excrement) from their colonies which helps in locating them. However, my cabinetry was not fully accessible to successfully find and spot treat their colonies. I needed a more general approach -- a safe product to spray all of the cabinetry as best I could. I did have a 8-10 inches of access to spray behind the cabinets and access to spray underneath once a toe-kick was removed. Drawers were also removable. Raw, non-pressure treated wood was used to build the cabinetry, as well as plywood and masonite. Bora-Care was the ideal product since I could spray almost all of the wood. It was developed to permeate the wood to kill dry wood termites (you didn't need to locate their colonies precisely), and prevent future infestation. My only problems were stained cabinet doors made from cypress, and the inside of the cabinets were coated. This would not allow wood penetration by Bora-Care. However, the cypress cabinet doors did not seem to appeal to the termites anyway. And, the coated portions of the cabinetry were still treatable from their opposite, uncoated sides. The Bora-Care label allows treating one or more sides of the wood, if needed. So, we would have penetration on at least one side. I would still treat the doors since the staining did not seem to be completely impenetrable to liquids. I diluted the concentrated Bora-Care with water 1:1. So, 1 gallon of concentrate is diluted with 1 gallon of water to make 2 gallons. This is the ratio recommended for dry wood termites. The label should be read carefully for dilution ratios for other targeted pests and different applications. I sprayed the infested wood and susceptible wood with a professional quality hand sprayer. If you know where the colonies are, you can also drill wood to inject the chemical. My sprayer could inject foam into drilled areas to fill voids, but I didn't see the need (unless I see future activity). A foaming agent could be added to the mixture. The product is viscous and must be mixed thoroughly before spraying or it will definitely clog a sprayer. The label recommends dilution with hot water, which I did, with success. I used almost the full gallon on the cabinetry. A lot was wasted and pooled on coated cabinet interiors or paver flooring. This is not a product for very expensive indoor cabinets, although we did not have any significant damage. You will need to protect nontargeted areas and clean any oily residue that may not dissipate. Care should be taken with personal protection, such as safety glasses, gloves, and any other advice on the label. This is a relatively safe product, but you shouldn't use it, if you are uncomfortable with chemicals. RESULTS: After one week, we do not show any dry wood termite activity, such as evidence of frass. We had carefully cleaned the cabinets of frass,! so that it could be monitored for new activity. I will update in a few weeks, if there is any activity, and what steps, if any, I took as a follow-up. Bora-Care is a fairly permanent solution that will prevent future infestations. So, once you knock 'em out, you're done for good. UPDATE Oct 28, 2015: No evidence of any termite activity. Success!!!!
Review: Natural non toxic termite treatment - Bora Care is an excellent product. I have used this to treat my house during a major renovation and have used it on all prior homes. It has protection features for water exposure and most importantly for me, Termites. This product is non toxic, you can safely roll, spray or brush it directly onto wood that is not damaged to protect it. Or you can use it on wood that already has some activity, providing the wood still has structural integrity. This will eliminate the current activity and protect the wood from further invasion. Unlike other methods of treatment, Bora care has been shown to last for a very long period of time. It gets absorbed into the wood, in the event termites attempt to eat the wood, that will be the end of them. Low areas of the house are the best spots to treat, start at the sill plate and go up the wall studs two feet. It is also great for garages and sheds which tend to have wood placed closer to the ground. It may leave behind a slight white tint, that is the salts in the product and not of concern. This is a great product and frankly cheap insurance to protect your largest investment, without flooding your grounds with toxic chemicals.

A: yes you can brush it on wood

**Q: I had a sub term issue. house was treated outside. was told none inside but my attic beams. but i see damage. bought this will it weaken the wood?**
A: This should not weaken the wood - it is a mixture of glycerin and sodium octoborate and soaks in and holds better than the water only versions.

**Q: Is the quantity being sold 1 gallon?**
A: Yes, one gallon jugs.

**Q: Can anyone think of a reason that I shouldn't mix Boracare with vinegar?**
A: I cannot think of a reason anyone would want to.  Vinegar is an acid and certainly could affect the product.  It works just fine with warm water.
