801'll-C ••• may be used on all cellUlosic materials including wood, plywood, particle boare!, papar, oriented strand boare! (OS8), cardboard and wood composite structural components. Apply BoI'II-C.re only to bare wood, plywoOd, partlcJe board and othar cellulosic materials where an Intact watar-repellent bamar, such as paint, stain or sealer, Is not present

For tracking purposes (to make It easier to see whe,.. Bolll~are solutions have been applied) an appropriate marker dye or pigment may be edded 10 tile solution when diluting BoI'II-C.,.. with water. Refer to the dye or pigment product label for recommended amount 10 add to the Sora-Care solution.

When spraying overhead Interior aress of homes, apartment bUildings, etc., coyer or protect all surfaces below the area being sprayed with plastic Sheeting or other milterial that can be dISposed of if c:ontamination from dripping occurs. Do not apply In food serving areas while food i$ exposed.

Use soap and water to clean up tools.

In structures where a soil treatmentibamer termitlclde has been applied andlor termite ba~ system in&talled, apply Bora­Care as an additional treatment to protect wood from subterranean termkes that may have penetrated the chemical geps occunring wkhln the termlticide-treated soil or have by-paSSed tile bait/monitor systems and entered the structure or termites and beetles that can fly directiy Into the house, entirely bypassing the soH treatment.

As a remedial treatment. Bora-Care will both eliminate lind plllvent Infestations of FOlTl1O$6n, subterranean termites. wood boring beaUes, carpenter anlll and decay fungi. "may al60 be used as a supplement or alternative to fumigation in order to provide long-term residual control.

Since Bora-Care is applied directly 10 the wood, it can be used In areas where environmental contamination is of concern (nearby walls, cistems, etc.). The active Ingredient In BOIll-C .... is an inorganic salt and once in plICa it will not decompose Or vola~e out of the Wood. Treatment Is long lasting [60 years demonstrated thus lsr] provided the treated material is not exposed to rain, continuous water or ground contact

BOIll-Care is not a soli termiticide. Do not use to directly treat lOii.

[The active ingredient in BOI'II-Care, dlsodium octaborate tetrahydrate, Is toxic to many insaCls, decay fungi, algae and some forms of bacteria. Although the effk:acy of borates (salls containing thll element boron) against Insects such as termites and wood boring bealles is well documented, the actual mechanism Is not COmpletely understood. The moet accepted hypothesis is that boron Inhibits the dehydrogenase enzymes and prevents metabolism. Without them, tIlese inseew essentially starve 10 death. Bora-Caro's patented formulation greatly enhances both depth and Speed of penetration In wood as well as the efficacy of the active ingredient. On~ Bora..care has been applied, those insec:l$ that eat or Infest the wood come In contact with the active borate ingredient and are killed. Some wood damaging Insecta. such as carpenter anw, do not consume wood but use the wood as nesting sttes. Vtlhile chewing, they exude chemicals that soften the wood for eaSier removal. In the process of releaSing and ibsorbing these chemICals or by being in contact with Bora-C.re-treated wood, these insects also ingast the borate in the wood and are killed. Once individual members of many ant and termite colonlBS begin to die after feeding on a particular food source, the rest of the colony usually stops feeding on that same source end retreats from the area. Thus. borate-lreated wood may be avoided by those members of the colony still alive.]

Older wood boring beetle larvae and especially pupae (particular1y Old House Borers) alreedy prese"t In the wood at the rtme of treatment may occasionally emerge IIOmelime after treatment This is because they are no longer feeding on the wood. This will not OCCUr freCluently enough to cause structural damage to any wooden member end relnfestation is prevented.

A. Inf .. ted WOOd mar be treated by spraying and/or Injecting BoraoCare solution Into beetle holes. termite and carpenter ant gallenes and decay pockets. Apply to the point of wetness one (1) coat ot Bora-Care solution to all Infested and susceptible wood. paying partlcular attention to Infested areas. Two (2) coats of Bora..care solution need only be applied to those wood members with only one (1) or two (2) exposed sidS$. For quicker control, apply an additional coat to haavlly infested arellS, waiting at least 20 minutes between applications.

In cases where the infestation is not aecassibta from tha sulface, small holes may be drilled Into the wood in order to gain access to tha if1festad are.. Inject enough solution to completely !!ood galleries or voids. Adjacent Intact wood may be treated by pressure injecting BoraoCare Into holes drilled into the wood at eight (8)- to ten (10Hnch Intervals Inject at 40 psi for four (4) to six (6) seconds per hole.

For treating infested wall voids. refer to Sections IV.E. and F.

B. Basements and crawl spacH may be treated by applying one (1) coat of diluted BoraoCare solution to the point ot welne .. to all infested and susceptible wood surfaces including sill plates. plars. girders, subtloors, ~oor joists and any wood exposed to vertical access from the soil. On wood Where access is limited to one (1) or two (2) sides ot wood members, such as sills and plates on foundallOn walls, apply two (2) OOlIte of Bora­Care solution. wait at least 20 minutes between applications. Apply at a rate of approximately one (1) gallon of BoraoCara solUtion per 200 square feet of floor area (400 square feed of wood surface area).

C. Buildings on slabs may be treated by applying Bora-Care solution into Will voids by locating eaCh stud and drilling a small hole through the wall covering to gain access to the Infested area, or by foaming or misting (with a Nisus-approved mist machine) as described in Sections IV.E and F. DriU holes acijacent to the side 01 each stud every 18-24 inches elong its length and Inject at least 1/3 fluid ounce of BoraoC.re solution per hole. Drill at least one hole per stud bay near the ~oor to treat the base plate in each vokl. Trellt entire wall areas as opposed to single stud bays to completely Include the infested area within the treatment zone.

D. Wood floorlnlJ may be treated by spray, brush or roller application. Prior to application, remove any existing finish by complete coarse &anding or stripping. Apply a two (2) parts water to one (1) part Bora-Ca ... (2:1) solution at a rate of approximately one (1) gallon of solution per 500 square feet of floor surface. For treating Infestations ot subterranean or Formosan termites, two (2) coats may be required, waiting at least one (1) hour between applications. Allow floor to completely dry (typically 48 to 72 hours). Moisture content must be 10% or Jess before applying flnal finish. Bora..c .... applications may rai8e the grain ot the wood and an additional fight sanding may be necessary before applying a new finish. Although Bora-Care is compatible with most floor coatings, alWays test a small section ot treeted floor with the new finish and cheek for appropriate adhesion prior to coating the entire floor. Note: If surface is tacky or residue Is evident aller 72 hours of drying nme, wash a1'fected "relI with clean water and a mop. cloth or sponge, nnsing frequently. Allow surface to dry prior to final light sanding and application of finish coat

E. For trelting voids, wall studs and wood memb.... not acc ... lble by conventional applicatIon methods, spray or mist soIuUon (using a Nisus-approved mist maChine) Into voids and channels in damaged and suspected Infested wood and/or through smalllloies drilled Into walls and baseboard areas. Space holes no mom than 24' apart along each member to be treated and at Ieut one (1) hole must be drilled between each wall stud when treating base plates, Use sufficient amount of material to cover all ireas to the point of wetness. Note: EXIstlng Insulation may interfere with dlstritlUllon of the Bora-Care solution. If necessary, move or displace insulation during or prior to treatment

F _ Foam application.: Bora-Care may be applied to bare wood surfaces and void areas as a loam by mlXlng two (2) parts water with ona (1) part 1S0ra-Cara (2:1) and adding 3 to 8 ounC8S of foaming agent per gallon of mixed solution. Apply toam to completely ftll the void. Foam will take approximately ona (1) hour to return to liquid state and soak into bare wood.

Apply foamed Bora-Care to void speces at a 1:20 to 1:30 foam ratio (one (1) gallon of mixed solution expanded with foaming agent to produca 20 to 30 gallons of foam). Apply enough foam to completely fill void and contact all wood surfaces in the void space.
