Bora-Care
By Denise on 08/12/2017
We ordered 2 gallons of this product after noticing bore holes with fine sawdust on our log house. Application was easy per instructions. Questions were answered to our satisfaction by phone. We would recommend this product.

Excellent service and product
By Marina on 08/17/2017
I am very pleased with the service of DoMyOwn, I ordered Bora-Care and needed it quickly, so I chose next-day shipping: it shipped almost immediately and arrived the next day (whereas other vendors are slow to package and ship so next-day is not really received next-day even though you pay for it). The product performed exactly as described: we mixed and sprayed it as directed, the results are great. A+rating from me.

Works Well
By Sockmonkey on 08/26/2017
I mixed it according to directions. It worked great. I'm glad I read the label where it said that hot water can be used for ease of mixing! This stuff has the consistency of Karo syrup, and the hot water really helped mix. After application, small Bark Borers came out that I hadn't even seen.

Bora-Care
By Roger on 08/26/2017
Bora-Care gave me excellent control of powder post beetles in a hunting cabin built with beams from an old barn. They had attacked both the lower and upper levels of the cabin. Bora-Care was easy to apply and only one application was needed. The owner recommended me for another job.

This product is working as they say, no active infestation o
By Russ on 09/06/2017
I purchased 2 gallons to treat Redwood Fences. Some of the wood was imbedded in dirt so had other infestation as well. It's been 2 weeks since I replaced the bad rails and damaged boards, then mixed a quart 1:1, spraying about 30LF of fence, and so far so good. This product is working as they say, no active infestation of any sort. I stained one side of the fence so the Bora-care is now under the stain and in the wood, but if I ever need to re-apply I'll do the other side of the fence. I plan on doing the other sections of fence in the next few weeks. Now that I see how easy this is and how well it works, I will use it when painting my house (that has no infestation). I'll spray all the house's fascia & rafter tail ends with a 1:5 Bora-care solution before I apply the paint. That 2 gallons of Bora-care cost less than $200, and that protects the fences and the house. My neighbor replaced their fences, spending thousands of dollars, mine are better protected, look better, and cost me about $500 total. I highly recommend Bora-care at domyownpestcontrol.com.

Easy to apply! Worth the peace of mind, esp where can't see
By Ds on 12/01/2017
I especially appreciated how quickly this product arrived JIT to use before my contractor covered over the area I wanted to spray. I had carefully researched this relatively non-toxic to humans product, and sprayed it on my sills and studs and sheathing before nailing the ply sheathing into place on my cripple wall in my crawl space as a seismic precaution. If it works like it says it does, I wont have to worry about what I now can't see because the plywood covering that now obscures my view of any termite tunnels. Use hot water to mix! Worked with a cheap 16$ sprayer and with a paint brush. A gallon goes a long way.

Bora-Care
By Larry on 05/05/2018
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.

Great Products and Service
By Xavier on 06/01/2018
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.
Best non-toxic termite blocker.
By Robert on 06/16/2018
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.
Patience...
By Brooke on 07/06/2018
Is the key. I bought a piece of reclaimed wood furniture that was infested with powder post beetles (of course, I didn't know what was going on until I'd had it for two years). After talking to 2 exterminators, who said to throw the furniture away, I decided to try Bora-care myself. I soaked down the furniture up right, and upside down, twice--then I waited. After several months, I did it all over again and let it sit for 9 more months. After a full year, I thought we were totally in the clear and moved it back into the house. Now, after 3 months in the house, I have a small patch of sawdust. I feel confident enough to spray the small space multiple times and continue to use it. I mean, this linen chest was INFESTED. You have to allow a long time for this to sink in but, for me, it was worth trying to save my furniture that I love. I do believe it works to the fullest, you just have to invest the time if you want to save the wood!

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.

Best Found

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.

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.
