Treating the basement of a house under construction. What are the specs for a basement? Is it 1 to 5 the mix amount and is treatment of only the basement level required?
The instructions for Bora-Care for basements (preventative and pretreatment): Use a 1:1 solution and apply in a 2-foot uninterrupted band to all structural wood surfaces in crawl spaces and basements. To prevent termite shelter tubes on crawlspace walls, apply to concrete or block walls in a 2-foot band up from the ground on interior wall surfaces. Apply at the rate of one gallon to 400 square feet of surface area.
You can apply it upstairs, however it can only be applied onto bare wood surfaces and voids. If you are looking to kill and prevent mold, please see Bora-Care with Mold-Care. It can be applied to bare wood, plywood, particleboard, and oriented strand board (OSB).
