Q.I have powder post beetles in some bentwood-style patio chairs and a palm wood patio shade structure. The palm "palapa" has been varnished and I just applied a wood stain/protector to the chairs unfortunately. The Palm infestation is an ongoing problem and I'm more concerned with treating the chairs at this time. It looks like only 2 or 3 chairs have the holes and powder on them so i don't think I need a lot of a product right now but i mentioned the Palapa shade also because if you recommend something that only comes in a large container, I could probably use it later. I was going to order the small bag of Timbor , but would Boracare be better for my application? Thanks
A.Depending how thick the chairs are, is what product you want to use. Timbor only penetrates 1/4 inch, where as Boracare can penetrate throughout the wood. When using these products, if there is a finishing on the chairs, you want to make sure to sand it down before applying the product. Timbor may leave a white powdery residue.

I want to purchase a bed bug kit. After reading about it I understand it requires more than one treatment. How many treatments do you advise (at minimum) and how many treatments can I get from a 4 BR kit treating my 4 BR home? THX, Wayne - 8

looking at the kit for roaches, I do not need a sprayer, can I buy just the chemicals in the kit? aslo: I live in a mobil home and have a massive infestation of roaches, turn the lights out and the counters turn black with them, we have sprayed, bombed and used over the counter jells repeatedly for the last 4 years trying to get rid of them how do we find the nesting sites to erradicate the problem? we had a professional come in and evaluate the house, he says we have to leave home for a day so he can fog and apply jells but the cost is enormous, but he tells us the white roaches are an indication of billions of roaches... any truth in that?-we find roaches that are totally white they look identical in body shape as any 7

I have a wood backed mirror that is made of 1x6 material and is painted on both sides. Instead of sanding the piece and treating with a liquid treatment. Would placing it in a large plastic bag with Nuvan Pro Strips for 2-3 weeks do the job. If not will I have to sand both sides of the frame for liquid treatment or just one side.- 1

I had couches that were infested with carpet beetles and their larvae. We immediately got rid of the couches. We have sprayed 4x with demand cs and vacummed the whole house religously, gone through everything. We can not find a nest and I am going crazy. the larvae keep showing up, no adults, just the larvae. Any advice on how to get rid of them? I am going to go insane. - 8
