Tim-bor for wood fence
By Ed on 07/04/2020
Needed a product to improve life of new redwood fence. Redwood quality has significantly declined as we deforest. Treated wood also does not last = termite thrive. This is the safest and hopefully best and easy product to use. Used three coats brushed on. Crossing fingers.

went on as planned
By Avery on 06/03/2016
everything went as advertised and application went as expected. Time will tell if product performs as advertised. One thing....package was damaged and some of the product got out. Looks like shipper tried to jury rig package with wrapping tape. Just a minor item that had no impact on application process. Will order some more to complete task in crawlspace.
Tim-bor Professional

This product worked just like it said it would. I did two applications on a wood structure that I bought in Hawaii. Something was eating it from the inside and I had wood shavings on the top of it. I saw this advertised and thought I'd try it. It worked perfectly and, once again, I love my wooden structure.

No success with Chickee Huts in Florida
By Jose on 06/19/2017
I live in South Florida and have a chickee hut which looks like a log-framed, open-air hut with dry palm fronds covering the roof. The log frame is unpainted. The powder post beetles are in the stalks of the dry palm fronds. I followed the instructions to make the stronger 15% solution for a single application applied by brush. Four weeks later, the dust continued to show up. I did a 2nd 15% application with a spray since I still had half the bucket. Another four weeks later, I'm still getting dust and have seen for the first time the actual beetles on the outside showing full health. Apparently, it's mating season. I informed DMOPC about my huge disappointment and they escalated the matter to the manufacturer Nisus Corp. whose representative said the stalks of the dry palm fronds are not considered softwood applications for Timbor to be able to penetrate. Thus, my application may have been successful with the Bora-Care treatment. However, it's 3x more expensive thus it was never an option in the first place.

Easy to Use
By Barbara on 02/04/2022
I mixed the powder with very warm water to make sure it fully dissolved. Using my 2 gallon hand pump sprayer I was able to complete my 1100 square foot building with three packages of Tim-bor. I was very happy to find this product on line at such a good price and with free shipping as well! Be sure to fully rinse out the sprayer and nozzle after use as this product crystallizes. I will check the building in a month or two to see if there is more powder post beetle damage. If so, I'll give it another treatment, but I'm hoping this will kill them all.
good product

We had some powder post larvae creating boring dust on a table on the top floor of an open room in converted dairy barn. The roof rafters are 30' long comprised of 5 lengths of 2x6. This problem seemed to be in only in a section of a few of the rafters and confined to the lower 10' section. The barn was build in 1942 with masonry walls. So I order this product, mixed and sprayed the it and no more problem as far as I can tell. I used the 15% solution for a one shot approach. Absorbs well into dry wood. Leaves perhaps some white residue but that's ok. The product will remain tacky if over spray lands on a surface that wouldn't allow for absorption. Like metal or OBS subfloor. It's a great product to have around a farm to treat wood as needed.
