How does Boracare compare to Penashield?
By Al on 05/14/2016
My understanding is that Penashield is basically like Boracare but pre-mixed. Is it as effective as Boracare for drywood termites? The reason why I'm asking is because I sprayed Penashield on some ants and after they floated around for some time they casually walked away like nothing happened. If Boracare is suppose to kill on contact why doesn't Penashield do the same? Thanks!
Expert response:
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.

PenaSheild wood preservative is easy to apply
By Tom on 08/28/2020
PenaSheild wood preservative brushes on and soaks into the bare wood surface. It is clear and when it dries the wood color is natural. Be sure to apply before any waterproofing coating to allow it to soak into the wood. Drys quickly in warm weather. Also, apply a waterproofing coating over it, because it is water soluble. I used PenaSheild to treat the undersides of decking, and exposed cut wood of my decking and structure. I let the cut ends soak in a bucket of PenaSheild. There is very little odor with this product. Also, this is one of the few wood preservative products that I could find that are available for retail sale, and have borate based wood preservative, which should help control dry rot, and insects that bore into the wood. Only time will tell how effective the borate is in controlling dry rot and insect infestations.

Just applied so will see what happens, owner had a wall with pallet wood on it never treated and had dry wood termites!! Sprayed the entire wall a few times and let dry. So far we haven't seen any problems but time will tell. Easy to apply, can't recommend it enough
