Simple protection. Impossible to beat. Bora-Care is the best way to protect your home from termites, carpenter ants, wood rot and more. 

• Bora-Care is formulated with a concern for the environment. Active ingredient is a borate mineral salt
• Its active ingredient has been scientifically demonstrated to work based on hundreds of university studies
• Applied by a professional pest control company
• Used as a pretreatment in new construction for termites and wood-destroying insects, or to eliminate existing infestations in homes
• Prevention and remedial control of wood decay fungi and algae
• Bora-Care diffuses into wood and remains there for the life of the wood, providing residual protection
• Eliminates the need to pump hundreds of gallons of pesticides into the ground around and under your home

Bora-Care prevents and eliminates:
• Drywood termites
• Subterranean termites
• Formosan termites
• Carpenter ants
• Powderpost beetles
• Old house borers
• PLUS: Bora-Care will kill and prevent wood-decay fungi and algae
Since Bora-Care’s introduction, it has replaced more than 45 million gallons of toxic pesticides that would have been pumped in the ground. That’s a savings equal to 9,400 semi-tanker trucks of pesticide. And that’s an amount we can all live with. 

 10 reasons to switch to Bora-Care
1) Builders are saving a full day to cycle time by switching to Bora-Care pretreats. Bora-Care eliminates the need to coordinated schedules between cement companies and pest management professional (PMPs). Bora-Care is applied during the dried-in phase of construction.
2) Bora-Care eliminates weather delays. Traditional soil treatments require application to dry ground after the footers are dug. Bora-Care is applied directly to the wood and concrete on walls, subfloors, sill plates, piers and expansion joints, as well as around pipe chases and plumbing. Weather is simply not a factor
3) Bora-Care eliminates the need for crews to leave the job site. In traditional soil pretreatments, workers are required by law to leave the site during application and stay away until the application is completed. With Bora-Care, your crew can keep right on working.
4) HUD allows Bora-Care treatments. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) 99-A form allows direct wood treatment of Bora-Care as a primary termite treatment in new home construction.
5) Efficacy tests show proven results. Research from a 12 year study by the USDA Forest Service and Mississippi State University’s Forest Products laboratory proved wood treated with Bora-Care repelled termite attacks and prevented subterranean termites from tubing over treated wood. In addition, tests conducted at Louisiana State University have shown that Bora-Care applied to concrete surfaces will prevent Formosan termite tubing. Treated wood is also protected against carpenter ants, old house borers. Powderpost beetles and decay fungi.
6) Treatment near water are no longer a concern. With soil treatments, there is the concern of chemicals leaching into a nearby water source. When you pretreat the wood and concrete, that’s all you treat
7) Soil termiticides can cause CPVC plumbing pipes to leak. Bora-Care is the first termiticide listed as chemically compatible with Noveon piping systems. Bora-Care replaces old-fashioned soil termiticides and has been found to be compatible with CPVC meterials of FlowGuard Gold, BlazeMaster, and Corzan pipe and fittings. FGG/BM system compatible indicates that this product has been tested and is monitored on an ongoing basis to assure chemical compatibility. In addition, Bora-Care will not corrode metal fasteners, fittings or nails.
8) Toxicity is raising concern homeowners. With traditional soil treatments, hundreds of gallons of pesticides are pumped into the ground under and around a home. Bora-Care is a low oder termiticide that is applied directly to the wood-answering the concerns of homeowners show are demanding less-toxic alternatives.
9) International building code. Bora-Care has been evaluated for use by the international building code, and allowed for use under the International Residential Code. Bora-Care meets the sill plated end-cut requirements set by building codes and the American Wood-Preservers’ Association.
10) Excavation and landscaping do not affect the treatment. Leaky water lines, improper drainage and even the landscaping process can break the soil termiticide barrier, rendering soil pretreatments ineffective by the time the house is complete. With Bora-Care, you are treating the wood, and once again, a problem is eliminated.
