While it achieves the same deadly result with all wood destroying organisms and general pests, it is important to know how best to deliver the borated to them. Since BORA-CARE is slow-acting, drywood termites may feed on, tunnel in and/or digest treated wood, accumulate the BORA-CARE and still move among other individuals in the colony. During the transfer of food from workers to nymphs, soldiers and reproductives, the termites will transfer the ingested BORA-CARE between one another, resulting in the eradication of the colony.
