Had a maple log cut into 2 1/2 inch thick slabs for woodworking. Two of the slabs had termites near one end. Mixed Bora-Care with hot water, 50/50, and did a drench spray (until runoff) on all sides with a hand-held sprayer. Termites didn't stand a chance. No odor or discoloration of wood. Also works on powder post beetles. Bora-Care is thick like syrup so hot water is a must. Highly recommend and would use again.

The instruction were great for how to mix and spray. I had 2 areas of exposed beams in my garage. After one application, all powder post beetle activity (sawdust on floor) was gone. Thanks.

This item's transaction was flawless. The Bore-Care arrived at our home in California in record time, about 3 days.

I recently purchased the BoraCare product and from start to finish I had an excellent experience! Service, knowledge of product, delivery, product...Everything was excellent! I noticed a difference in bore bees almost immediately. I would definitely recommend and use this company again for any of my home pest control needs!

I wanted to wait to write the review for awhile as the sawdust continued to form for a couple weeks after treatment. 2 coats were applied. Now, about a month later, I don't see any new sawdust. Hopefully this will take care of the problem. The Boracare was easy to apply. I have 1/2 gal left, so I will save it for next year and give it another 2 coats. This was used on 5" timbers used as landscaping timbers around a basement egress window. The timbers are stacked on each other, so most timbers only had one side coated. Some had 2 sides coated.

I ordered boracare to treat what I think is power post bugs.My order came very fast and packaged well. I find that it mixes easy with a drill and paint mixer in cold or warm water. I also ordered the 2Gal pro sprayer to replace the old one that I had. This is the best sprayer that I have found anywhere. I mixed boracare 1to1 to spray under my house. In some places its very low to the ground. Boracare covers good and the 2 gal sprayer works very well in tight places. This was a lot of work but its good to know I want have to do it again for many many years

I can't speak to how the powder post beetles will feel about it yet, as it's only been applied for one week now, however it was super easy to dilute and mix and applied fast and easily. DoMyOwnPestControl shipped it in a timely manner and packaged it well. I have no complaints and am thrilled to be able to use a product which had no fumes coming up thru the floor and was safe for my two little dogs. Other products' fumes can last for a very long time and make people and animals ill. As to how long the product will continue to kill powder post beetles, I'll go look for evidence of them a year from now. It could quite possibly last longer. I live in a VERY DAMP climate (the coast) where moisture is the number one problem. This appears to be the best solution on the market so far.

I say "appears to be great" because I have only applied it just a few days ago and I'm assuming that if any critters munch on the studs of my kitchen they'll soon be meeting their doom now that I've applied this. I'm renovating the kitchen, hence the ability to spray Boracare on open studs. A word of caution...this stuff is thick and will clog your sprayer if you aren't careful. Thus, as this website will tell you and as the label on the container advises... (1) use warm water when mixing, (2) spray soon after you mix it, and (3) thoroughly rinse after you use it. It's not hard...just know that the product is designed to harden like glue and will do the same in your sprayer if you're careless. As for the the shipment and overall satisfaction with this website (domyownpestcontrol), I couldn't be happier. I have ordered TONS of stuff from these guys and I'm telling you...there is no better company out there! Incredible customer support, fast shipping, and great packaging. Everything you'd want in a great customer experience!

After I did some research and found out this item bora-care and I bought 4 gallon for my remodeling sweet home. It's easy to mix with water and easy to spray, by the way the champion spray from this website, is better what I thought. Only thing is the pipe is not too long and I have to carry the 2 gal tan around. It's not a big deal. I sprayed the most house where the drywall has gone. wood absorbs the liquid really fast. How much effect the termite? I don't know yet, so far I don't have termite, hopefully I will never have termite in a long time. Now I am buying Timbor from here, to put dust to the joints and floor corner before everything is closed up. By the way, the company is great, good service, fast shipping. It's even better than Amazon :)

I think this product works as advertised as I used it and noticed what it does to the treated area of the wood and I think it will protect the wood for life as they said on the lable. I had seen similler product used in other countries and it does protect the wood from termite.

I hope this treatment works as well as it seems to. Our subdivision is very wooded. This year our homes were over run with carpenter ants. After hearing neighbors' stories of disappointment concerning treatment companies, we turned to Do My Own and Bora-Care. The day after treatment we were no longer seeing carpenter ants. To this day we appear to be ant free.

I have had powder post beetles it a boat I am building. Boracare kills them overnight.

Although it's too soon to tell the results, the Boracare application went smoothly after following exactly the directions for mixing on the label. I have an infestation of the Powder Post beetle in some red oak in my woodworking shop that I'm trying to eliminate. For this I'm using the 1:1 ratio and spraying each side of each board. I will follow on the wood floor and OSB walls of my shop with the 5:1 ratio. The service and follow-up communications from DoMyOwnPestControl were excellent.

Thanks again! Great price, delivery on-time and great customer service! I've been using this product because it's not toxic like these other ones and effective. Forget tenting the house and digging a trench and filling it with highly toxic poison that can leach into my organic vegetable garden!

When we bought our 1905 wood frame cottage, the original carriage house had been destroyed by termites. We decided to treat the existing home, just in case. We used BoraCare and are very happy we did. Over a year after we treated, we built an addition on the cottage. The addition had termites within a matter of weeks; the existing home treated with BoraCare was perfectly fine. Although the liquid is a little pricey, for us it was well worth the investment against future damage.

I purchased the product and the USPS lost it. Surprise, surprise. DNOPC immediately shipped out another. It came banged up, but intact. The product was super easy to mix and apply. I have used Boraterm before, but the reviews elsewhere have Boracare as a better product. I would get this again.

I saw what everyone told me was powder post beetle debris. So after looking into pest control... I decided to try it myself.. I found Do My Own Pest control on the web. After a little research I decided that Boracare was the product I should use.. I ordered it, at a fair price compared to others.. and I used the standard shipping.. and it came fast.. I used the produce per directions and sprayed the area I thought would be where they were... It went on easy... with a hand sprayer.. I have a Cape Cod house. with the grey cedar shingles.. and the spray made them a bit darker... which scared me... but after about 5 days they were back to normal.. and I haven't seen a trace of the beetles yet... So I am very happy with the results AND the company... Great job Guys....

I have been using Boracare over the past 6 years as part of a program to prevent potential insect infestation in valuable old reclaimed wood owned by WaynesBarnwood.com. No infestations or problems have occurred. Delivery of my recent order was interrupted with delivery problems. DoMyOwnPestControl handled the situation very professionally & successfully.

Just recieved my 2gallons of boracare, this stuff is thick. Mixed with some hot, hot water no problems. I am building a new garage and I am spraying all the new lumber. Does not go as far as I thought, will be ordering more. My termite guy recomended this product, I will be spraying my built in 1947 home also. I live in California and we have some serious termite issues out here. I am hoping this does the trick. Thanks for the quick delivery

Having a problem with bugs inside of exterior beams, I applied Boracare per instructions, except I used a staining paint brush, 5". It went on easy and did the job! Very happy with product and whole purchase experience!
