Will PeneTreat eliminate all pests?
Yes and no. PeneTreat (probably the most popular borate based log preservative in the industry) will kill any carpenter ants, termites or beetles that bite into treated wood. After the PeneTreat and stain have dried, small critters won’t be effected if there are cracks or open seams that allow them access. Once they bite into the wood, the borate solution disrupts their digestive system, causing them to starve to death.
