Once in solution, the solution must be used within 24 hours. After application, the water evaporates off, leaving behind a residue (Nibor-D) which will stay on the surface until cleaned off.

If consumed, it should not harm ground squirrels.

It is labeled for use on wood only. If it gets on any other materials, we recommend cleaning those items off with warm soapy water.

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately Bora-Care is not registered for sale in South Africa.

As long as the wood is not exposed to weather or moisture, it will last the life of the wood.

Pretty much the same effectiveness when applied as a dust. Nibor D is more versatile since you can apply it as a spray ( less effective) and add to your mop bucket. It is more expensive per pound

They are both Non- repellents. The roaches only avoid them if applied too thickly

He does in the basement where the wood touches concrete. No need for it anywhere else unless you have endless money your willing to waste.

This product contains essential oils and could stain and/or leave a residue behind. It also has a strong fragrance. While it can be sprayed on the boat cover, we strongly suggest testing in a small area before applying to the entire area.

@@NisusCorp have you ever heard of a customer using it on their boat?

@@stephaniemiller1368 Web Out may be used in and around marinas and boats as well as boat docks. It will control spiders that are directly contacted by the Web Out. Because Web Out contains essential oils, it can penetrate and potentially stain fiberglass if the gel coat is oxidized. It may also stain metal. To reduce the concentration, you may dilute the product with one part Web Out to one part water. Always test a small inconspicuous area to test for staining/discoloration/residue before using on any surface. Always avoid allowing any pest management product from contacting surrounding water.

Unfortunately Niban is not labeled for the treatment of fire ants.

Advance Carpenter ant bait works on fire ants

That is not relevant for aqueous borate mixtures nor pest management applications. Boric acid in water has a solubility of 4% and DOT a solubility of about 15% at room temperature. Boric acid dissolves slowly as is crystalline and endothermic and DOT fast as amorphous and exothermic. Mixing boric acid with ethanolamine is done for liquid agriculture products such as "Boron 10" if farmers can’t find "Max-Up Boron 10" which is ethanolamine free. It is MEA rather that TEA that is used and it can achieve 10 % as elemental boron (about 47% as DOT - so very concentrated).

It should last at least a year, as long as it is not exposed to excessive moisture.

Hi Pete - We have reps in various regions across the US. They work closely with pest control companies and can usually recommend someone who can do the Bora-Care treatments. Here is a link showing contact information for them. Jim Sparks is the contact for your area. Please reach out to him and he will be happy to help you out. nisuscorp.com/contact-your-rep

There are websites that are very reputable that will sell you the product directly, for individual home use only.

The active ingredient in Bora-Care is a borate salt. Borate salts work by taking advantage of a unique feature in the biology of termites, ants and other insects. If ingested by ants, beetles or termites, the insect becomes unable to extract nutrition from its food and starves to death. And because of this unique mode of action, insects cannot develop a resistance, ever. Bora-Care works differently than most other insecticides, termiticides and even other borate products on the market today. For starters, it isn’t applied to the soil but to the structure itself. Secondly, it isn’t just a repellent or a bait but a little bit of each. Bora-Care’s unique patented blend of glycols in combination with a borate salt provides results that are hard to beat. As soon as beetles and ants attempt to consume treated wood they die. Subterranean termites won’t even try to eat treated wood and if they attempt to build a tube on treated wood, the termites start to die. This alerts the termite colony and they abandon the wood.

@@NisusCorp Thanks!

They kill when bitten

There are many different mix ratios on the label. This video illustrates just one of these. If the proper precautions are followed, you will be completely fine using this product. If using the product in an enclosed/confined areas, using a respirator mask is needed.

We are glad you found the information useful!

We do not recommend using it indoors. Web Out contains essential oils and there is a potential for staining and it has a strong lemon/thyme fragrance.

@@NisusCorp I have use it indoors the smell is strong is there anyway I can make the smell go away

@@tyshawn102 we recommend that you follow the label instructions and clean with warm soapy water.

Thank you for letting us know about this issue. I will relay your concerns to our Quality Control department. May I ask where you purchased the product?

Dan, our QC department asked if you would be able to provide us with a little more information so they can begin investigating this issue. 1) What are you mixing the ProFoam with? 2) Would you be able to let us know the lot number on the bottle? It is usually printed on the bottle. 3) Where was the bottle purchased? Thank you!

@@NisusCorp Hello thank you for your response. I believe our warehouse purchased it from the old Univar (now Verseris) in Brooklyn NY. Over the course of the bottles’ use I mix them as per labels and recommendations with Nibor-D and either DSV or Bac-a-Zap in addition to an IGR.

@@DanA-gz5tn Thanks for the additional information. I will pass this along to QC so they can do testing and see if they can re-create the issue you have been having. Please let us know if you continue to have problems or think of anything else that can help with our Quality Control investigation/testing.

@Dan A, we have not been able to re-create the foaming issue you experienced. Our QC department does not know which IGR you are using but suggested if it is an alcohol containing IGR concentrate if could cause the foam to break down. If you want to let us know about the IGR concentrate, we can look at additional testing.

Thanks for reaching out. We would need a little more information to provide you with a full detailed answer to your question. Based on the information you have given, we can only provide a general answer for you here. If the product is used outdoors and then treated with a finish, it will last the life of the lumber AS LONG AS there is a finish over it. If used indoors, the product will last the lifetime of the lumber. If you would like to speak to one of our technical experts to have specific questions/details addressed, please feel free to give us a call at 800-264-0870.

Bora-Care® fully penetrates into the lumber when properly applied with no residue left on the surface of the lumber after a drying period of 24-48 hours.

Thanks for the feedback! We love hearing how our products are helping people!

Rashid, thanks for your question! To answer it, for two reasons, firstly humans are protected by their size (you would have to eat a relatively large amount of material - this can be checked with LD 50 values for example about 60,000 mgKg for Niban Granular bait), and secondly humans are protected by the very rapid excretion of excess boron in urine via the kidneys - this is a function that insects lack due to their differing excretion mechanisms via Malpighian tubules and solid rather than liquid nitrogenous excretion. - Dr. Jeff Lloyd, Sr Vice President, Innovation & Sustainability

@@NisusCorp Thanks for the detailed reply. Actually, I have been coming across many videos on youtube and articles on the web regarding the benefits of boron supplementation. As supplements are very expensive around here so I was exploring the possibility of using boric acid or borax as a source of boron. Then I came across this great video which explains the biochemistry of boron. Now NMN and NAD+ are very hot topics these days and your video just hit the final nail in the boron benefits coffin, for me, as it meddles with NAD+ and NADH metabolism. So what do you think about this whole boron supplementation affair? Is there any weight to it or is it a scam? Thanks and a very good day to you!

@@RashidMalik-LabVIEW Boron is a proven essential element in plants and in some animals and thought probably essential in humans (it is not possible to prove in humans as it is not possible to remove it all from the diet). It has a set ADI (allowable daily intake) rather than a RDA (recommended daily intake) because of this. Boron appears important in cellular metabolism and in calcium metabolism and transport. I do not believe there is any need at all for boron supplements as there are high levels in a healthy diet including fruit and vegetables or in a glass of red wine. If you only eat meat and potatoes, then please eat some fruit and vegetables, have an avocado or eat some nuts and your boron requirement is likely met and this has a wealth of other benefits also. Thank you! Dr. Jeff Lloyd
