Bora-Care Used to Architectural Artifacts.
By Carl on 06/25/2012
We plan to use a Bora-Care solution to conserve archeologically recovered building components from the site of the 1646 iron making operation at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. Treated oak and pine artifiacts are to be preserved in historic museum collections in order to provide insight into industrial and domestic architecture of colonial New England.

Order online
By Daniel on 08/05/2012
It was was easy to research and order online. I decided to try BORA-CARE as it is supposedly effective and relatively nontoxic to humans. I also needed it as soon as possible, as it was holding up my project. Thinking it would take a week for the free delivery, I was very surprised to see it arrive in three days! In the end, it was very easy to apply.

Noting Better
By Jonathan on 11/04/2012
Had termites eating through floor and entertainment center. Sprayed it down with boracare and next day termites were gone. I've used it for years as a pre-treatment and a kill now product. Cheaper products may work as well but I will stick with Bora-Care for all termite issues. domyownpestcontrol.com had it to me in two days for the cheapest price A+++++

Powder Post Beatles in hardwood floor
By Don on 12/14/2012
When I couldn't get Terminix to commit to treating the powderpost beatles in my hardwood flooring, Boracare to the rescue. Given the fact that the flooring was glued to a concrete slab, it would have been both expensive and difficult to remove the infected pieces. I simply saturated the infected area with a 5 to 1 ratio mix, let stand for a few days and voila the little guys were dead. Thanks DoMyOwnPestControl.

Great folks to work with
By Gr on 02/11/2013
This is my second order from do my own pest control, and i am certain not my last. shipping is fast and products are top notch as well as tips and instructions. i used this boracare to treat some powder post beetles in old barn wood - works like it should. had a buddy who treated his rough sawn barn framing and siding with it before he built the barn, now thats a smart idea if you have powder post beetles and carpenter bees like we do in our area.

Excelent Product, Excellent Company
By Anonymous on 06/22/2013
We had hardwood termites on some of the large cedar posts on our porches. We applied BoraCare in August 2012 to all of them, following the instructions carefully. Used the entire gallon on 15 posts that are approximately 12'' in diameter. So far, no signs of termites and an added bonus: paper wasps stopped chewing on the wood!! Note that the overspray is extremely sticky but it dries perfectly on concrete.

Easy to use
By Louise on 11/08/2013
Bora-Care is easy to pour. It is thick and gooey. It took about 1 minute of gentle stirring to mix the hot water with it. I applied it with a plastic bottle hand sprayer. It did drip a little so a drop cloth would be helpful.

Easy to use
By Nancy on 07/20/2018
Incredibly easy to use but I would suggest adding the blue dye to make it easier to see what you have sprayed. I did not. The mixing wand for use with cordless drill was key. Super fast and efficient. I used this product as a preconstruction termiticide for the floor joists during a remodel and sprayed onto the adjoining concrete as well.

Low Toxicoty Cheaper than Commercial Pesticide Company
By Bobthebuilder on 07/20/2018
Low toxicity. Dry wood termites. I cut holes in my dry wall and found them. Vacuumed all their poop and removed insulation. Sprayed down all the wood. Also sprayed perimeter of house base and roof. Really happy with money I saved.

Bora-Care
By Kevin on 09/01/2018
The 5 stars are for the ease of ordering and on time delivery. As well as the correct chemical being delivered in an appropriate container. For me this was a preventative buy. Doing a full re-model of my bathroom and wanted to treat the exposed wood before it got covered up again. Crossing fingers that when/if pests bite into the wood they go down.

Great product follow instructions
By John on 09/28/2018
I would recommend you read and follow instructions, works MUCH better with hot water, mix it up and use it soon thereafter. Do not let it sit for days, after use run some clean hot water through the sprayer and you will have no issues.

Great product
By Felicia on 10/05/2018
I was so pleased to purchase Bora-Care from DoMyOwn. They have an awesome information section on the site that helped answer any questions that I had regarding how much product I needed to purchase and how to apply it. Mixing and applying the Bora-Care was simple thanks to the instructions. I would definitely recommend this company and their product.

Powder Post Beatles
By Susan on 03/20/2020
Works Great!
By Tlc on 04/03/2020
Bora Care was $15 cheaper on your site than Amazon and also had free delivery. Product arrived quickly. This stuff is amazing! We sprayed it on our deck and the carpenter bees won't land on it! We have a large deck and they were destroying it! The bees would hover over the wood for about a week but not land and now they don't even come near the deck. Bora Care saved our deck!

Excellent Product
By V on 04/10/2020
We bought the Bora Care product after extensive research on termite and carpenter ant eradication and prevention. Following the instructions, we sprayed in the entire attic before re-insulating. Both mixing and spraying was easy. Just as an FYI, product consistency is like honey and must be mixed well with an electric paddle. Also, there is a slight residue that takes a little longer to dry than anticipated. Product can be wiped off with a damp cloth if it gets on items or surfaces that you do not want to treat. So far, we are very happy with this product although on the pricey side.

Non-toxic and safe
By T. on 11/06/2020
I use very hot water to mix to the dilution required and Bore-Care dissolves much more easily. Definitely rinse out your sprayer with fresh water prior to storage or the 1:1 will soon crystallize inside your sprayer wand, hose and tank.

Termite treatment
By Jay on 02/05/2021
Excellent product. Easy to apply with a simple 10-20$ sprayer from Home Depot. It is very thick so i mix it up well. Turn sprayer upside down to blow out with air if it gets a little clogged and shake it up. For the coverage this can do, bug companies charge about 300-800$. I bought two, sprayed a 3 story house framing and decking when replacing stucco damage. Quotes were 1k. I save big bucks!! This stuff is sticky just don't lick it or snort it and you're good.

Good customer service for domyown
By Roger on 02/19/2021
Happy
By Steve on 09/20/2021
The product was easy to mix and the green marker made it very easy to see where I've been, I will custom homes and this is a good option rather than using harsh pesticides and termite spray underneath slabs which come up through cracks into the living space. We spray around the exterior of the houseWith chemical spray and less on all wood framing.
