Nisus Tim-BOR Professional Insecticidal Dust, 1.5 lbs

Carpenter ants started showing up in the kitchen. Apple phone identified the critters as Carpenter Ants. They don't build furniture so after some research I bought this product and applied it twice in one week. Spayed the entire house and around the perimeter of the house. Three weeks later no more destructive ants. Saved $187 to have "Professionals" Spray harmful chemicals.

This product was easy to use and based on function, it should be very effective in prevention of wood boring bugs. This product mixes very well with water. The powder is very fine - I just cut the corner off the bag to allow easier placement into the sprayer. I had no issue using it in my 2 gallon sprayer.

This borate powder mixed easily into solution and applied evenly on exposed framing lumber. It is exactly the professional-grade product described, water soluble and simple to work with. I used it as a preventive treatment against wood-destroying insects and decay before closing up the walls.

Easy to use and seemed to work well.

I've bought this product several times through the years. Primarily, I use it to treat insect infestation, like carpenter ants, when doing repairs on exterior trim or as preventative for fungus and rot for wood which might, at some point be accidentally subjected to moisture, like around windows. I generally only treat small surfaces, so I mix it in small quantities to spread with a hand sprayer or small garden sprayer. I then store the remaining powder air tight. I do not use this for exterior purposes, although it can be used for surfaces sheltered from rain, as rain will leech it out of the wood. For exterior purposes, I prefer copper napthenate. I like that Timbor is of low toxicity. The powder can also be used to dust surfaces and grooves against cockroaches and silverfishes

This did not work on the termites as expected. Disappointed.
