When do you use Bora-Care?

New Construction

Homeowners should request Bora-Care for the termite pretreatment of their new homes. Bora-Care replaces old-style soil termiticides which are pumped into the ground under and around the house. Liquid termiticides can break down in just a few years (Mulrooney et al, 2006). Bora-Care eliminates treated wood as a food source for termites. And studies show that termites can’t tube over Bora-Care treated wood. (Amburgey,T.H. and William, L.H. 2001 Mississippi State University)

Existing Homes

Bora-Care is also ideal for control of existing termite infestations. You can treat all accessible wood wherever termite infestations exist wall voids can be injected with high pressure mist or foam. You can also do termite treatments in crawl spaces or any other areas with infested wood.

In addition to wood preservatives, ePestSolutions.com offers a variety of termite baits and other termite pest control products, so that you can do your own pest control at home without any professional help.
