John from Millsboro, De writes
The branches of the settee have exit holes, and may be an active infestation. The largest branches are less than 2" in diameter. I have already purchased Timbor, but have learned that Boracare might provide better penetration. Would I be OK if I used Timbor, waited for a few weeks before removing any residue and then using a varnish. It will be used indoors.
Tim-bor Professional will only penetrate ¼ inch into the wood so it would not be recommended to treat active infestations, only for prevention. Boracare is a better option, as it will penetrate deeper and will dry clear when applied as directed.
