Termite borate solution
Termites are one of the most serious problems for homes with wood foundations, and not only. They are really powerful pests that can eat up wood at a fast pace. The good part is that the latest treatments are almost 100% successful.
Instructions
- One great solution is to use borate insecticide powder mixed with water. Mix 2 parts water with one part borate. First of all read the instructions on the insecticide to make sure that you are doing the right thing.
- Always use rubber gloves when working with insecticide. Now stir the borate mixture.
- Use a bottle sprayer and pour the solution in it.
- Now spray the mix on your home’s wood until it’s moist. This will soak into the wood and prevent the termites from attempting to eat through it.
Tips
- use the solution once a couple of months to make sure that it wasn’t washed away by the rain. This is enough to keep termites away.
- you can apply the solution to indoor wood, not just outdoor wood.
