    Q
    Would Tim-bor or BoraCare be recommended for mold in a crawl space?
    A

    The only product that we carry that will treat both fungus and mold on wood is Bora-Care with Mold-Care. You can use this product on any raw wood or other cellulosic material (without paint, stain, finish, etc.). 

    View the BoraCare Mold & Fungi Bulletin for more information.

    Q
    Can I apply Bora Care over a previous application of Tim-Bor?
    I recently had Tim-bor applied to beams inside my 200+ year old home to treat powder post beetles. Looks like Bora-Care is the better product.
    A

    You can absolutely apply the Boracare over the top of the Timbor application without any additional surface prep being required. As long as the wood is still in its raw natural state, you can spray the Boracare mixture right onto the wood.

    Q
    Can Tim-bor Professional be used to kill carpenter ants in my house walls using a puffer duster?
    A

    Per the product label, you can inject or dust Timbor at a rate of 0.5 oz per square foot when treating wall voids for insects such as carpenter ants. If you are mixing Timbor in water and creating a foam with a foaming solution and foamer, then you would use 1.5 oz of Timbor per gallon of water and use a high expansion foam. Keep in mind that drilling into and injecting a product like Timbor into all your wall voids is a tedious and labor-intensive application that is often best left to professionals. We have a great Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide here that may better assist you.

    Q
    Why does a 1.5lb bag cover 200 sqft but a 50lb bucket of Tim-bor Professional only covers 1000 sqft?
    A
    Tim-bor Professional is applied at 1.5 lb bag per gallon of water for 15% solution on 200 square feet of untreated wood as directed on the label. There are other percentages of dilution and the product is applied as a dust, foam or liquid as directed.
