If you're saying your deck is made with Tabeuia wood then yes, Boracare will work fine for controlling this problem. But if mean you have live Tabeuia with termites? Then you'll need to use another option. Something like Dominion 2L. Its good for termites and can also be used as a soil drench for plants so it enters them as a sustemic.

Its for both. Boracare is unique in that it can penetrate through wood (several inches per treated side) so you can (in theory) get logs protected up to 8 inches round. And once the treatment cures (which takes around 72 hours), the active ingredient will kill active wood destroying organisms like termites, powderpost beetles and wood. Additionally, as long as the treatment is still active (3-5 years when used outside; at least 5-10 years when used inside), Boracare can also prevent these same pests. These qualities make Boracare one of the best products to use for both curative and preventive applications. Boracare: www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/liquid/boracare-gal

Boracare will only absorb if applied to unfinished wood. Now if you can access a side of the wood which has no finish, you could treat that side and maybe get enough active to penetrate. Typical treatments will go a good 1-2 inches deep no problem and up to 3-4 inches. Alternatively you could use Jecta Gel applied to holes you drill. More info on how to use this option can be found here: Jecta Gel: www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/gel/jecta-gel-10-oz

+villaguna No need to worry about stickiness after the application. When used on porous wood, the product is readily absorbed and in most all cases, leaven't no sign of any kind of treatment ever being done within 1 day. And after 2-3 days, it essentially disappears deep in the wood grain leaving very little (if any) on the surface. This remaining amount will be invisible and undetectable by touch or vision. In fact the only time I've had a residue or tackiness left after the application dried for a few days is when we applied some to a finished, non absorbing surface. For example, a piece of furniture that has a varnish finish. But overhead rafters, studs, or sill plate commonly used in the home? That's typically unfinished pine which soaks up water and Boracare like a sponge. Within 1 day it will generally be gone and dry to the touch; let it sit cure for 3 days to insure it works its way into the grain and you won't even know some was ever applied.

+CentralNintendo1 Unfortunately Boracare will not penetrate sealed wood (wood which is painted or recently stained). But there are other product options. First, what is the target pest? Second, what is it you want to treat? A deck, wood flooring or maybe a piece of furniture? More info on your options based on the answers to those two questions can be found in articles we have posted on line. Just go to www.bugspray.com and from the left side of the page, choose your target pest to find out what options you have. Email or call us for more help if you still have questions.

If you go to our main website you'll learn about a "foaming" tool that can be used to "foam" walls. Basically it takes the liquid Boracare mixed solution and converts it to a heavy shaving cream like foam that will enable the treatment to permeate well inside ceiling and wall voids. Here's a link to it on our site: bugspray.com/powderpost_beetles.html#powderpost-beetle-control-using-with-foam
