worked as advertised and shipping was immediate

On September 7 I ordered a jug of Bora-Care from DoMyOwnPestControl.com and the morning of September 9 the order was delivered. Extremely fast fulfillment! I had looked into the process for making my own fungicide using borax, boric acid and propylene glycol but decided not to because it involved heating the mix. As a ready to use product Bora-Care is well worth the cost. It's a thick mixture and difficult to pour small amounts for mixing doses for application but knowing that in advance is enough to be prepared.

After a complete coverage of our cabin and one followup in problem areas, the powder post beetles are still active. Not sure what to try next. The product did stop some of the activity but I would like to eliminate the pest.

Had new 8 x 10 shed constructed two years ago. My old shed had some termite infestation and the company that constructed the new shed spayed every piece of wood with this product. I have not seen one termite, carpenter ants or any other bug infestation since this product was applied. Since the new shed cost me a fortune I can honestly say I'm so glad I purchased this product. I live in an area where termites are everywhere and believe me this product works. If you follow the directions and use this product as instructed you won't be disappointed. The ease of ordering and the delivery to your home is an added plus. This is my go to company for all my pest control needs.

I got what I ordered and I received it very quickly. It was packaged well. I don't know if it works yet but come spring I should be able to tell something.

I had 100+ years old heart pine from our old barn milled for use as a new kitchen floor in my 100+ years old home. As there had been powder post beetle activity in the wood over the years, I applied bora-care over the installed floor (before finishing of course) at a 1:1 ratio. All went as per instructions and after a couple days of dry time, the floor was successfully finished. DoMyOwnPestControl was very quick to respond to my questions and shipping ultra fast.

I waited until there was a hot humid period to give this review. (If the carpenter ants were coming back that would do it. ) It's been a couple of weeks and so far no ants.

I had some sweet mesquite that was laying out to dry in my barn. Saw the telltale dust piles and decided to try the Bora Care. Applied it with a pump sprayer. A week later I found that there are only a dozen or so dust piles still forming. Probably a 90% kill rate. My next move is to try injecting the treatment into the remaining bore holes with a syringe. To early to identify any reinfestation.

I was very pleased with the product and assistance I received with the Bora-care product. I treated the powder beetles myself and called in before starting the project. I received great customer care, they answered all my questions and got me on my way!! Thank you pest control for being there to help!!

Easy to mix, easy to apply. Results won't be known until next summer when we open up our summer house.

I applied this product as instructed to a cypress beam to eliminate powder post beetles. It did not kill the beetles, I'll have to try again. Perhaps this is why they only sell this product in gallon size, it takes multiple applications!

There is no way for me to evaluate if this product really works since its effectiveness is based on whether i will see termite evidence in the future. I bought on faith and I hope all that i read becomes true. For now, make sure you do follow the instructions and use warm water, use only the amount you think you will spray and cover things to avoid overspray. It felt like i was working with molases. I never purchased from this company but I was pleasantly surprised things worked out smoothly and delivered very quickly. I will do so again.

I have purchased 3 cases of Bora-Care to protect freshly sawed pine boards that are ~1" thick and stored in a barn. The boards are stacked on landscape timbers and spaced for drying. The following comments are offered regarding service and the mixture of 1 gal. of Bora-Care with 2 gals. of water. Do MY Own is a very responsive company that has a good website and ships orders promptly. Bora-Care goes into solution easier with hot water. The 1:2 Mixture did not apply well with my garden sprayer, but putting it on with a medium bristle brush. Review will be updated in bugs get into wood.

I had some type of wood borer consistantly putting holes in my 5ft. Redwood cigar store indian carving, It's been about a month since application and so far no more holes. Straight forward instructions, shipped quickly, and easy to use.

DOMYOWN was very fair priced and efficient in the processing and shipping of the order. The products are what is promised on the website and provides a great opportunity for a homeowner to save a lot of money and also access products that otherwise might be sold by a local vendor that overcharges.

Ordered it, it arrived on date stated with tracking number. Have already applied to the deck. 5:1 ratio H20 : Bora Care Watched a U-Tube of B. Villa applying with pump up sprayer. Though I would try it. Will see down the road if it lives up to Villa's recommendation. My guess is it will.

This Bora-Care is great stuff. I have recommended it to all my friends, neighbors and contractors. I recommended to a friend contractor and he used it on a new building wooden frame. He said it turned the new green 2x4 so hard after a month or so hard he could hardly drive a nail in them. I highly recommend this product. I trust it to do its job. Use hot water and a drill to mix it thoroughly.
