We have powder post beetles throughout our hardwood floors. We are going to sand down all the floors, remove any damage boards and replace. We are then going to treat with Bora-Care and wait a few years before restaining. One bug company refused the job because they are concerned the boards will not stain properly after treating with Bora-Care. Is this true? Can I buy and apply the chemical myself with equal results to an exterminator?
Bora-Care is a great choice to treat powder post beetles on raw wood. The product can be purchased and applied by homeowners. The wood can be stained after the product has dried. We cannot comment on why the company refused to treat. For additional information on the product, you may contact the manufacturer at 800.264.0870.
