    Q
    Would this treat mushroom growth on wood surfaces?
    A

    No, Bora-Care would not be recommended for treating mushrooms on wood surfaces. BoraCare with Mold Care could possibly be an option but due to the many different type of mushrooms/fungi that can grow on raw wood surfaces, we would suggest contacting your County Extension Office for identifying the type of growth you have and the recommended treatment. 
     
    Find your County Extension Office HERE for a positive identification.

    Q
    Can someone please help? I live in Pennsylvania and I’m treating my home for powderpost beetles
    I’m using a 1:1 ratio of bora care but still seeing evidence of active beetles. Just wondering if this is normal ?
    A

    Yes, it is common to still see evidence after treatment with Bora-care.  The beetles lie dormant for years and once they wake up they start consuming the wood, which is when we see the sawdust material.  Now that it has been treated with Bora-care, once they consume the wood they will die.

    Q
    Old railroad ties had poria last year. I will treat them with Bora-Care, but if they are outside in the rainy season....
    I had to rip out half my pottery studio because mudslides clogged the crawl space underneath and poria fungus destroyed a lot of the structure. Now another structure is right by a retaining wall of railroad ties that had some fungus last year and dried out. one side of them is butted up to the dirt they are retaining, but my thought is to spray the exposed sides, then seal them 48 hours later. Will this keep the Bora Care protected from washing away?
    A

    You will need to do 2 application of Bora-Care. After applying first coat you will wait 20 minutes and then add the second coat.
