My new home has had a serious termite issue for a very, very long time. Just recently had a company do the trench treatment. Going forward I'm trying to do all the things possible to keep the termites away. There is a lot of 4x4 treated lumber that was used as borders around my house and upon pulling them up I see no termite activity on the wood. These 4x4s are probably 20 plus years old and don't even have signs of rot. I read that it's best to not have any wood to ground contact but if the wood is not touching my house and it's treated with Bora-care, will that be okay? Or is it not with the risk?
Yes, Bora-Care can be used to treat pressure-treated beams in your home. Since the wood is pressure treated just allow ample time for the Bora-Care to absorb in and dry. You may also see some beading of the product on the wood surface when applied, but it will soak in during the drying process.
