safe to use on bedroom set?

I built a jungle themed room for my daughter. I used Eucalyptus saplings to make the bed frame. We saw a few beetles scurrying around initially and killed them on the spot. Recently we are seeing a lot of holes in the wood and the occupants of those holes sure look like powderpost beetles. My research led to Boracare and this page. My concern is how safe is the product if I were to use it on the bedframe? I've read the MSDS and product label but still not very clear on safety. If I apply Boracare and let it dry, will the bedframe be safe enough for my daughter to touch? Thanks

Answer:

The Boracare once dry is completely safe so as long as you keep your daughter away from it during the treatment process and until its dry she will be fine. Keep in mind Boracare is only designed for wood in its raw natural state. If you have put any sort of finish/stain/sealant on the wood there, you will have to sand it all off to apply the Boracare. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
