NAHB only considers products that have extensive product-specific research and data for this designation. Bora-Care is a borate-based EPA-registered termiticide manufactured by Nisus Corporation. During new construction, pest control companies apply it directly to wood, concrete and foundation penetrations to eliminate wood as a food source and to create a continuous barrier that termites cannot cross. Bora-Care’s unique patented formula allows its active ingredient to penetrate into wood, delivering long-term residual protection. An added value is that treated wood is also protected against carpenter ants, wood destroying beetles and decay fungi.
