Customer Reviews for Bora-Care

Sprayed 1:1 mixture on powderpost beetles in an untreated post supporting my cabin. Used hotwater to mix in separate container, then poured into garden sprayer. I hope it works as advertised!

These guys are faster than black lightning. For powder post beetles Bora-Care is the industry, professional standard. The product is not available anywhere I could find over-the-counter. Good prices and excellent service. I had a mild infestation in a crawl space under a 500 square foot section of a house. Take time to prep your area for treatment such as remove insulation and clean dust off all horizontal surfaces so you do one thorough, effective job. Remove any items stored in the crawl space. Not fun work so you don't want to have do it again in a few years! I had about 55" of headroom in the crawl space so it wasn't too bad. Clean dust and cobwebs off all foundation vents so the space gets lots of fresh air. During prep and application I had two large fans in the crawl space hatch going full blast. Dust during prep and vapors during application were forced out the foundation vents. Work upwind of air movement. They recommend a flat fan type nozzle on your garden spray jug. I found that caused dripping and went back to a heavy mist type spray nozzle that I held about 2' from the wood. At the least wear coveralls, gloves, dust mask, and large droopy hat. Keep your ventilation fans going at all times!

Impossible to review the product having only just put it to use. Check back in 10-20 years for an update on its effectiveness. I'm happy assuming it's every bit as good as everyone says it is. I will say that domyown.com had the best price I could find, shipped promptly, and delivered the product I ordered. That's worth 5 stars.

The product prep instructions were easy to follow application of product was also easy. As to how it works time will tell, I didn't have any issues under my house sprayed to be on the safe side. I purchased the bora-care From domyown because it was the best price compared to other sites I researched, ordering was easy with fast shipping.

Overnight it looks like beetle infestation kicked up and there's been more dust than normal, a lot more. There are some spots that have sticky droplets that are visible and you can feel. I'm curious as to if these can be wiped down. It's on a nightstand that I lightly coated.

Best price and really quick delivery. I had to order more product 3 times to finish the job, ordering was easy, shipping was free and very quick. I am really impressed with DoMyOwn and I would recommend them for your Pest Control needs.

Finding a sprayer that exerts enough pressure to spray the mixed product (in my case 1:1 mix fairly viscous) is essential. The right tip, fan spread is critical too. The "hazardous warnings, gloves, clothing, mask is all marketing BS, as it is as harmless as table salt. I would not inhale it or eat it, but it is not Round UP type product. This is a huge bonus, but the literature does not differentiate it from harsh chemical formulation. Will it work, I think it may. why does it work, it disrupts the digestive cycle of the beetle. How does it continue to penetrate, IDK, but boron is a low molecular weight molecule very low on periodic table, and I speculate so tiny it continues to penetrate with cycling of temperature in to the wood, inches they say over years. Two coats, 1:1 was my application.

Didn't realize that it was as thick of a substance. Luckily you delude it by as least one hundred percent I wouldn't have been able to use it in my Two gallon sprayer Seems to have been still thick enough to stick to the wood

Product arrived well wrapped and very quickly. I used it in my tool shed where I was experiencing an onslaught of boring beetles. I sprayed everything down in the tool shed. It's been approximately a month and I continue to see dead insects. So I'm very pleased with the product. I also plan on using it in my garage where I've noticed recent termite infestation.

I have read good things about this product. The people at domyown are super helpful. I am painting the boracare on the beans in my barn. On some of the beams the termites actually come to the surface. I gave it 5 stars because it is super easy to use. I am hoping to save my 100 year old barn. Someone said to me that boracare is really expensive, but I think it would be more expensive to replace the barn!! Not only that we would lose a piece of Pennsylvania history. I love the old barns that dot the Pennsylvania country side.

This is the second time I have purchased from domyown and have nothing but positive feedback with my experience. I would also like to mention I called their tech help line and had a wonderful young lady help me by giving me advice on the use of the bora-care product. She went into great detail about product and what my expectations would be if used as instructed. This gave me the confidence I needed to treat the wood and install in my home. Great job!!! And thank you. I will definitely come back to you in the future.

Product works great and I am, day by day, eliminating the boring jests that were destroying my mahogany table. It's a slow, methodical process but, with the help of BoraCare, I'm gonna win! Thanks!

For the past two years, my garden has been under attack by a wood eating fungus called poria. It has destroyed my wooden fence, my outdoor kitchen, a large outdoor deck, and recently I found it up against my stucco home! If it were not for Bora-Care, I probably would not have anything left!. It kills the fungus on the spot, but I still have to be very vigilent throughout the spring and summer as the fungus will continue to attack any area where there is moisture. Once poria attaches to wood it rots it almost immediately and it has to be replaced. Thank you Bora Care!

Works well better than any non commercial product you can buy at a Lowe's or HomeDepot. Just read instructions ensure you mix with WARM water

I think this stuff did the trick on our termite problem. Won't be sure until next year, but covers great. I mixed 1 to 1 and still have a half gallon left after applying generously with a paint brush. I am way more confident in my application of this product than I am in my termite exterminator company I pay annually.

We used Bora-Care on my backyard porch roof, it was my first time trying a pesticide like this and I went basically off of straight reviews. Let me tell you that I think it is a great pesticide. Maybe even what the major companies use. I say that cause it does exactly what the major companies pesticide does. But I haven't seen any more termite droppings where it was applied. And there is some major damaged 2x6's where it was applied. It's so that I purchased another gallon to apply on my tool shed. I will continue purchasing this product because it's very good and all the reviews are true. Thank you.

Had a bunch of oak lumber just full of powderpost beetles and wood wasps. Followed directions and did notice a few new frass piles after application. I assume the treatment was stressing the mature adults. But after drying seems fine. I will update down the road if i notice more exiting the wood, but pretty certain this will have done the trick.

Used this to treat my log cabin. Sprayed on all logs prior to staining.

Mixing was very simple. I dumped the contents of the bottle and dye in a 5 gallon bucket. I brought a gallon of water to almost boil on the stove. Then I dumped it in the 5 gallon bucket and used a mixer on my power drill. It instantly thinned out to the consistency of water. I poured the contents in my sprayer and treated the barn. Will know next year how it worked for my powder post beetle problem.

Good instructions, applied easily. Recommendations re: PPE were excellent. But only time will tell if it works...
