Q. BoraCare?
A. More than the square feet, the amount of Bora Care you need depends on the size of the wood along with the linear feet of the area you are treating . One gallon of Bora Care diluted to one gallon of water will usually cover 1000 square feet for a 2x4 sized wood. If you are treating larger sizes such as 2x8 sized wood, it would cover approximately 800 square feet.

Q. What is the difference between Bora Care and Timbor??
A. Although both of these products are borate products, safe, and odorless, Timbor is used more to protect new wood or wood that has yet to be infested rather than to treat infestations because it comes in a wettable powder form. This makes it so that it only penetrates the outer layer of the wood for surface fungi and infestation protection. If you already have an infestation in the wood or are looking to treat exterior wood, we would recommend that you use Bora Care because it has a longer residual time than Timbor.

Q. I'm interested in purchasing the Boracare termiticide product from your site.?
A. Yes, you may use boracare to treat indoors. When using boracare it is recommended that you apply it to unfinished wood surfaces which allow the boracare to penetrate deeply into the wood. Applying the boracare to finished surfaces will only keep the boracare termiticide/insecticide on the surface on the finishing on the wood. When treating already finished wood drilling holes and injecting the termiticide may be necessary. Whether you decide to foam or just spray does not make a great difference but foaming seems most effective in the aspect that it takes up three dimensional spaces within the wall void area. If you decide to use foam, then you will need to purchase separately a foaming concentrate as well as a foaming machine. Good Luck!

For termites it will be 1:1. For wood boring beetles like powderpost beetles, you can mix it 1:3 we mean 1 Boracare and 3 Water or 1 Boracare and 1 Water. Boracare states that the residual is lifetime. It should last at least 8-10 years.
