Since Bora-Care is derived from minerals, once the active ingredient diffuses into the wood it will remain indefinitely. Because there is no exposure to the elements, it will degrade or break down the product inside the wood. Only high levels saturation in the wood caused by flooding will enable the active ingredient to be forced out.

The active ingredient in Bora-Care is a borate salt. The Borate works by exposing a unique feature in the biology of termites and other insects. If ingestion occurs by termites, ants or beetles, the insect becomes unable to extract nutrition from its food and starves to death. And due to this ingestion process, these insects cannot develop a resistance. We have done countless BoraCare homes in our service areas over the past 15 years.

Pre-treatment homes can be done quickly and efficiently. Pre-treating a home for termites with Bora-Care is fast and efficient and there is no need for scheduling around concrete delivery and no down time for construction crews. Use Bora-Care on new construction homes or businesses. For termite pre-treatments, Bora-Care can be applied directly to the wood with a portable backpack sprayer. Pre-treating your home with BoraCare during the dried in stage (exterior walls and roof) is the best investment you can make for one of your biggest investments.
