Bora-Care is easy to pour. It is thick and gooey. It took about 1 minute of gentle stirring to mix the hot water with it. I applied it with a plastic bottle hand sprayer. It did drip a little so a drop cloth would be helpful.

We had a fairly bad infestation in 3600 SF of oak we have been air drying. We applied a 1:1 mix on both surfaces. After about a week we started seeing powder post beetle powder in a few places. We are going to give those locations another applications and see how well it workes.

I can only comment on the application of this product since I just applied it. The stuff is like pure cornsyrup in consistency but actually is quite easy to use - definitley use HOT water to mix and use a painters aggitator and drill. Once mixed it is easily sprayed on the house but stays very sticky. Stain is easily applied over this once dry. Easy to clean up with water but stays sticky on wahtever is gets on.

Easy to use
By Nancy on 07/20/2018
Incredibly easy to use but I would suggest adding the blue dye to make it easier to see what you have sprayed. I did not. The mixing wand for use with cordless drill was key. Super fast and efficient. I used this product as a preconstruction termiticide for the floor joists during a remodel and sprayed onto the adjoining concrete as well.

Low Toxicoty Cheaper than Commercial Pesticide Company
By Bobthebuilder on 07/20/2018
Low toxicity. Dry wood termites. I cut holes in my dry wall and found them. Vacuumed all their poop and removed insulation. Sprayed down all the wood. Also sprayed perimeter of house base and roof. Really happy with money I saved.

Bora-Care
By Kevin on 09/01/2018
The 5 stars are for the ease of ordering and on time delivery. As well as the correct chemical being delivered in an appropriate container. For me this was a preventative buy. Doing a full re-model of my bathroom and wanted to treat the exposed wood before it got covered up again. Crossing fingers that when/if pests bite into the wood they go down.

Great product follow instructions
By John on 09/28/2018
I would recommend you read and follow instructions, works MUCH better with hot water, mix it up and use it soon thereafter. Do not let it sit for days, after use run some clean hot water through the sprayer and you will have no issues.

Great product
By Felicia on 10/05/2018
I was so pleased to purchase Bora-Care from DoMyOwn. They have an awesome information section on the site that helped answer any questions that I had regarding how much product I needed to purchase and how to apply it. Mixing and applying the Bora-Care was simple thanks to the instructions. I would definitely recommend this company and their product.

Works Great!
By Tlc on 04/03/2020
Bora Care was $15 cheaper on your site than Amazon and also had free delivery. Product arrived quickly. This stuff is amazing! We sprayed it on our deck and the carpenter bees won't land on it! We have a large deck and they were destroying it! The bees would hover over the wood for about a week but not land and now they don't even come near the deck. Bora Care saved our deck!

Excellent Product
By V on 04/10/2020
We bought the Bora Care product after extensive research on termite and carpenter ant eradication and prevention. Following the instructions, we sprayed in the entire attic before re-insulating. Both mixing and spraying was easy. Just as an FYI, product consistency is like honey and must be mixed well with an electric paddle. Also, there is a slight residue that takes a little longer to dry than anticipated. Product can be wiped off with a damp cloth if it gets on items or surfaces that you do not want to treat. So far, we are very happy with this product although on the pricey side.

Non-toxic and safe
By T. on 11/06/2020
I use very hot water to mix to the dilution required and Bore-Care dissolves much more easily. Definitely rinse out your sprayer with fresh water prior to storage or the 1:1 will soon crystallize inside your sprayer wand, hose and tank.

Termite treatment
By Jay on 02/05/2021
Excellent product. Easy to apply with a simple 10-20$ sprayer from Home Depot. It is very thick so i mix it up well. Turn sprayer upside down to blow out with air if it gets a little clogged and shake it up. For the coverage this can do, bug companies charge about 300-800$. I bought two, sprayed a 3 story house framing and decking when replacing stucco damage. Quotes were 1k. I save big bucks!! This stuff is sticky just don't lick it or snort it and you're good.

Good customer service for domyown
By Roger on 02/19/2021
Happy
By Steve on 09/20/2021
The product was easy to mix and the green marker made it very easy to see where I've been, I will custom homes and this is a good option rather than using harsh pesticides and termite spray underneath slabs which come up through cracks into the living space. We spray around the exterior of the houseWith chemical spray and less on all wood framing.

Termites Eliminated
By Joe on 10/26/2021
Had a maple log cut into 2 1/2 inch thick slabs for woodworking. Two of the slabs had termites near one end. Mixed Bora-Care with hot water, 50/50, and did a drench spray (until runoff) on all sides with a hand-held sprayer. Termites didn't stand a chance. No odor or discoloration of wood. Also works on powder post beetles. Bora-Care is thick like syrup so hot water is a must. Highly recommend and would use again.
