Product Overview
PenaShield is a Termiticide, Fungicide and a Perservative. It is a borate based, ready to use wood preserver that will kill and prevent carpenter ants, drywood and subterranean termites, wood boring beetles and decaying fungi. It is easy to use - just brush or spray onto the wood. For exterior use, paint or seal wood after applying. All termites that have been sprayed directly or have ingested the wood will begin to die. It could take a few days before the whole infestation is eliminated, but they will slowly all die. When using as a termiticide, it is not a substitute for mechanical alteration, foundation treatment or soil treatment - if there are active infestations, get a professional inspection. After applying to wood, do not expose to snow or rain for at least 24 hours after treatment. When added to surfaces that are exterior, make sure to cover grasses and plants with plastic to avoid affecting regular plant growth.

Apply only to bare, dry wood. Remove any finishes or water repellents before applying PenaShield. Clean surfaces to be treated to ensure they are free of dirt and other contaminants. If the finished appearance is a primary concern, also remove mold and mildew prior to application of PenaShield. If detergents or cleaners are used to prepare the surface, thoroughly rinse and allow surface to dry prior to application of PenaShield.Maintenance of Treated Surfaces
Apply PenaShield every 1 to 5 years to exterior unfinished bare wood surfaces. Interior surface treatments of existing wood are considered permanent and do not require reapplication or coating except in situations involving repeated moisture contact or high humidity, such as shower stalls, bathhouses, saunas, etc. Any additional installed wood must be treated. Protection may be extended by coating/painting treated wood with a water-resistant finish such as paint or exterior stain. Although a wide variety of paints and stains have been successfully used over PenaShield treated wood, it is always a good idea to coat a small section of treated wood with the finish to be used and check for compatibility prior to complete application. Allow PenaShield-treated wood to completely dry (at least 24 hours) before applying any protective finish and apply protective finish within 2 weeks of treatment.Cleanup
Use soap and water to clean up tools.
Application Instructions

By Al on 05/14/2016

Neither Boracare no Penashield kills on contact. These products are stop feed products and after consumed can take several days to a could of weeks to kill ants.

Read Full Answer »Penashield and Boracare do have the same active ingredient and are similar but not the exact same product. Penashield is used as is and should be used every 1-5 years (on outside wood that is not painted) while Boracare lasts for the life of the wood in favorable conditions and is a concentrate. For indoor wood and wood that is painted/stained both will also last for the life of the wood. We would recommend using Boracare if you are seeking a longer lasting treatment.QWhat is the called for dilution of PenaShield or is used straight from the bottle?Is this used straight from the bottle or diluted.
