Who it's for
Protect the wood before anyone moves in
Bora-Care is the new-construction and remodel favorite because exposed framing is the easiest wood to treat. It also serves existing structures where the wood can be reached.
New construction
Treat framing while it's exposed, before walls go up.
Remodels and buildouts
Protect new and exposed wood during renovation.
Drywood termite concerns
Treats the wood itself, which soil treatments can't reach.
Commercial projects
Used in hotels, hospitals, apartments, schools and museums.

Most often during new construction while framing is exposed, or during a remodel.
- Step 2
Spray, foam or mist
The borate is applied directly to the wood.
- Step 3
It soaks in
Deep penetration into the wood fibers makes the wood itself indigestible to insects.
- Long term
Protection stays put
Because it's in the wood itself, the protection stays with the structure.
Reviews
Flexible, responsive, easy to work with
I appreciated the flexibility they had with my schedule.
They gave a detailed bid and have been easy to do business with every step of the way. They did what they said they'd do, when they said they'd do it.
This led to a treatment the next day.
A WDO inspection on a 17,000 sq ft home found drywood termite droppings, wings and entry holes. Catching it early saved his client thousands in repairs.
Questions
Good questions, straight answers
Still unsure? Call or text (407) 360-7325 and a real person from our Clermont office answers.
Why treat the wood instead of the soil?
Borate soaks into the wood fibers so insects can't get nutrients from it. The wood itself becomes the protection, and it stays with the structure.
Is it low toxicity?
Yes. Bora-Care is a water-based borate wood preservative with minimal risk to people and pets.
Can you treat an existing home?
Yes, where the wood is accessible. It's most often applied during new construction and remodels, when framing is exposed.
Does it replace a soil treatment?
No. It protects the wood. For a soil barrier or colony elimination, see liquid treatment or Sentricon.

Understanding Bora-Care Treatment
Bora-Care treatment is a low-toxicity wood preservative and pest control product that uses borate to protect structures from wood destroying organisms like Subterranean Termites, Formosan Termites, and Drywood termites, wood destroying beetles, even decay fungi. Bora-Care is applied directly to the structure rather than into the soil, and works by preventing the insects from extracting nutrients from the wood. It can be applied by spraying, foaming, or misting, in places like homes, hotels, hospitals, apartments, schools, museums, and so much more! This is most often used for new construction homes.
What is Bora-Care Treatment?
Bora-Care treatment is a powerful method used for the protection and preservation of wood from pests like termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles. This unique solution is made from borate, a multi-purpose mineral that not only deters pests but also prevents fungal decay in the wood. Because it penetrates the wood fibers deeply, Bora-Care treatment offers long-lasting protection, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial properties.
The Benefits of Using Bora-Care
One of the key advantages of using Bora-Care treatment is its effectiveness. The borate compounds are not only toxic to wood-destroying insects but also pose minimal risks to humans and pets. This means that homeowners can ensure their properties are free from pests while keeping their families safe. Additionally, Bora-Care is environmentally friendly as it is a water-based solution, which helps reduce chemical exposure in and around the home.
Application and Effectiveness
Applying Bora-Care treatment is straightforward and can be done by professionals or homeowners themselves. The treatment can be brushed, sprayed, or injected into wood structures, and it begins to work immediately upon application. It is important to note that the wood should be treated before any pest infestation occurs, so proactive treatment can save homeowners money on repairs later on. However, if pests are already present, Bora-Care can still help to reduce their numbers and protect the surrounding wood.
