Borate Termite Treatment - A Popular Alternative Termite Treatment Method
With the increase of termite infestations taking place, the use of Sodium Borate as a popular alternative termite treatment method has steadily increased over the last few years. This termite elimination treatment is effective and works by killing the termites from the inside out by attacking the bacterial protozoa found inside the termite's intestinal gut.
This form of treatment literally starves the termite to death because it prevents the termite from being able to digest any wood it eats. Because Sodium Borate is a relatively inexpensive compound it has prospered within the termite control industry making it extremely popular with pest control professionals. This compound can be used as termite bait and is also routinely used as a way to kill fleas that have infested carpets.
There are several different termite control products made from sodium borate and they include Nibor-D, Tim-Bor, Bora Care and Jecta Gel. Treatment for homes can be done using a borate dust, foam or even an injection straight into the wood with the best prevention taking place if the wood is treated prior to your home being constructed with it.
