Bor-Ram is a new glycol-borate based termiticide, insecticide and fungicide that protects wood against termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles (powderpost beetles), and wood fungi. If you are looking for an environmentally-friendly and safe product for use around homes, or in green-building initiatives, look no further. Bor-Ram is similar to BORA-CARE, and features a new Aqueous Dispersion Technology (ADT) making it easier to pour, mix and handle and easier to mix on cold water. Bor-Ram soaks deep into raw wood making it essentially termite-proof. Great for log cabins, attics, wall studs, termite pre-treatments and more. Bor-Ram should be applied to raw, unsealed wood (but after the product dries a sealant or stain can be applied). Can be applied to other surfaces besides wood, including concrete. Can be mixed with Mold-Ram for mold prevention.
This product used to be sold and marketed under the Envincio brand name.

BOR-RAM is a borate-based technology. Borates occur naturally in the environment and exhibit low toxicity to mammals, but are lethal to termites and other wood-destroying organisms. Since these pests have not shown any ability to develop a resistance to borates, pest management professionals as well as homeowners and the environment can benefit from their use. The termites and other wood-destroying organisms are simply out of luck!
BOR-RAM is easily spray applied to wood or other construction materials and establishes a borate barrier in the food source. Termites and other wood-destroying organisms are eliminated when the borate enters their digestive systems. The borate barrier then remains in place to continue controlling labeled pests.
Features:
• Glycol-borate penetrates wood for maximum protection
• Eliminates existing and prevents future infestations of labeled target organisms
• Establishes a borate barrier so treated wood won't be breached
• Can be applied to materials other than wood
• Prevents termites from tubing across concrete
• Appropriate for indoor and outdoor application
• Aqueous Dispersion Technology (ADT) simplifies pouring, mixing and product application
• Borate-based chemistry promotes environmental stewardship
• Can be tank mixed with MOLD-RAM® for surface mold and mildew prevention

Works as advertised. Mixed as directed and eliminated the powder post beetles in Persimmon I cut about 10 years ago and stored in the barn. Just now used to make a beautiful "antique looking" cabinet with all the worm holes.

I recently built a wooden house on the beach. I am looking for a product that will immunize the whole house, so I do not have to worry about any pests. I would like to know if this product is also effective against the wood wasp since it is not mentioned in the advertisement.
