By Michael in Atlanta, GA on 01/11/2010

I had a termite control company give me an estimate to spot treat my drywood termites and it was astronomical! I found that DoMyOwnPestControl.com had the same product Boracare for a fraction of the c…

Professional
5 of 5 stars
By Patrick in Bristol, TN on 05/15/2014

I'm a professional. They make Boracare with mold control, so if you're doing the understructure of a home (wet, soggy, moldy) you might want to go a few bucks extra and get that, but this is excellent…

We are glad that you've had success with your Boracare treatment! While the active ingredient in Boracare does have a fairly slow kill and will likely kill some of the other termites in a colony, it does not have labeling to indicate this transfer effect. You can always spot treat with a product such as Termidor Foam that will have this transfer effect: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/termidor-foam-p-3528.html

Thank you for your comments. Boracare can be applied with a paintbrush or roller in areas where it may be difficult to spray. There is also a ready-to-use formulation of Boracare called Jecta that is excellent for spot treatments or areas that are otherwise challenging to treat: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/jecta-p-931.html
