Bora-Care Termiticide, Insecticide and Fungicide Concentrate is a wood treatment with patented glycol penetrants that kills and prevents termites, carpenter ants, wood boring beetles and decay fungi.  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. Bora-Care eliminates treated wood as a food source for termites. And studies show that termites can’t tube over Bora-Care treated wood.

Product Features:

  • Bora-Care is formulated with a concern for the environment. Active ingredient is a borate mineral salt.
  • Its active ingredient has been scientifically demonstrated to work based on hundreds of university studies.
  • Used as a pretreatment in new construction for termites and wood-destroying insects, or to eliminate existing infestations in homes.
  • Prevention and remedial control of wood decay fungi and algae.
  • Bora-Care diffuses into wood and remains there for the life of the wood, providing residual protection.
  • Eliminates the need to pump hundreds of gallons of pesticides into the ground around and under your home.

Mixing Instructions

Bora-Care is a concentrate that must be diluted with clean water or a combination of water and permitted insecticide and/or repellent/coating, and/or antimicrobial before use. The use of warm or hot water is not required, but, if available, can aid the dilution process. A power impeller-type mixer can be used with an electric drill to shorten mixing time. A. Manual Applications: Mix in a clean container and stir the solution until completely uniform prior to use. B. Mechanical Systems: Add all of the dilution water to tank, start recirculator and slowly add Bora-Care concentrate. Mix until uniform. Use 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 Bora-Care solutions within 24 hours after mixing; 5:1 solutions will remain stable for up to 30 days. Do not leave unused solution under pressure or in tank overnight. Rinse equipment and lines with water after use. For tracking purposes (to make it easier to see where Bora-Care solutions have been applied) an appropriate marker dye or pigment may be added as part of the diluent to the Bora-Care solution. Refer to the dye or pigment product label for the recommended amount to add to the Bora-Care solution. Bora-Care concentrate may also be diluted with approved water-based water repellents or coatings at dilutions listed on the repellent/coating label provided the ratios are greater than 1 part water to 1 part Bora-Care. Use soap and water to clean up tools.
